Why Greg Chappell is bad!

A few days back I read that Zaheer Khan has blamed Greg Chappell for his slack period. Today Harbhajan Singh has put the blame on him too. Bhajji said he would have taken 400 wickets long back if Greg was not the coach of Indian team few years ago.

I totally agree with them. Its not just Zak and Bhajji who have suffered due to Greg Chappell. There have been many more people. Lets see what they have to say:

"If not for Greg Chappel petrol would have been less than Rs.50/litre." -- Jaipal Reddy, Petroleum Minister, India.
