Do you think Budhia Singh is being exploited by his coach to make money?

Absolutely. A 4 yr old boy running 65 kms at a stretch is an milestone in its own way, but the coach is definitly has his own vested interests in making the poor kid run. The coach wants to become popular and is using the little boy. A four year old kid can be very easily persued and brain washed by telling him about world records and fame etc, but he he will never undersatdn that running so long at this age is next to deadly. Somebody must stop this cruelty.

Mr. Greg Chappell, after becoming the coach of the Indian Cricket Team, has brought about three distinct problems, namely, RIFT between team members, DISTRUST in the ability of Captain Saurav Ganguly and CHAOS in the BCCI.Chappel is a high-handed egoistic menace and his intentions are becoming clear day by day.. He means no good to Indian cricket but save his pocket. he cannot stand difference in opinion and likes to have a puppet as his captain ( poor chap). He has created an air of mistrust and has taken advantage of the Indian mentality of serving the white skin.\nMaking news and conspiracy is hi basic motive.........\n\n\nHere is his History.\n1. Used younger brother to bowl underarm to win a match against NZ.\n\nAn infamous incident involving an underarm delivery occurred on February 1, 1981 when Australia were playing New Zealand in a One-day International, the third of five matches in the final of the Benson & Hedges World Series Cup. New Zealand required a six to tie the match from the final ball, with eight wickets down. The Australian captain (Greg Chappell) ordered the bowler (his brother, Trevor Chappell) to bowl underarm to avoid the possibility that the No. 10 New Zealand batsman (Brian McKechnie) would score a six from the last ball to tie the match.\n\nAustralia won the game but the New Zealand batsmen marched off in disgust and since that day the underarm bowling incident has been a source of discussion, both heated and jocular, between Australians and New Zealanders.\n\nIt was described as "the most disgusting incident I can recall in the history of cricket" by the then Prime Minister of New Zealand, Rob Muldoon,\n\n2. Post-retirement\nHe takes up assignment as coach for local team (South Australia)---- is a gigantic disaster. Even the Ausssies did not choose him as a coach for the national sideand had no previous international coaching experience before taking up Indian assignment.During his tenure of South Australia as a coach, he failed miserably.\n\nComes to coach India on Sourav Ganguly's recommendation.\nWithin a month and a half calls Ganguly, " mentally and physically unfit" in a documented e-mail.\n\nWrites e-mails to " friendly" journalists calling Sourav, " cancerous".\n\nAt the BCCI Review Meeting, he retraces steps and backs out of the allegations, almost in cowardly haste.\nHe is established as a complete liar and vindictive when it is proven that Ganguly did suffer from an elbow injury.\n\nSlams door roughly on a TV journalist, injuring her.\n\nKeeps Zaheer Khan out of the team.His folly ? Ganguly used to back Zaheer\n\nEnsures VVS Laxman's ODI hopes are permanently dashed.\n\nTries to create rift between Dravid and Harbhajan Singh and also in between VVS Laxman and Sourav Ganguly.\n\nSays Sachin Tendulkar's glory will never be the same again. Suddenly changes tracks and says he can always become great like he used to be.\n\nRudely gestures an " up yours" sign to the Kolkota crowd with his middle finger; says he was relaxing his finger because of an injury.\n\nLast incident he made unwanted comments on Ganguly in an interview to a British paper this week, when every body was stopping the discussion of thier spat...\n\nReal Guru of Conspiracy... \n\nIf u feel like me check and join this group...\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/wehategreigchappell

He is a great bowler himself. No doubt about his ability as a bowler. But dont know his ability as a coach. Great Players may not be a great coach. There are many instances to prove this. But neverthless he can pass his many skills as a bowler to the next generation players. I think Pakistan can afford to try this. He can turn around things for his country.

malaysian football team doesn't the mentality to play at the highest level......while the coach are not up to the standard.The idea from the coach has always been the same this makes the team stays at the same level.The government should gamble and invest a little more money on better coach try some big name coach.....maybe SIR BOBBY ROBSON or even SVEN E.malaysia please buck up....please don't let us down again

Yes. Of course the millions that are paid to these athletes is mind boggling. And what have the been the results of all that? Recklessness, drug abuse, poor and underachievement and many other unacceptable behaviors.

You gut to the bottom of it yourself. Its the Players and the Organization that has problems. There is nothing wrong with the coach at all. But I dont think Flip is in the Hot Seat. You know why? Because if they get rid of Flip....he will just earn more money and the Pistons Organization would have dug themselves their own grave. Nobody would want to come and coach the Pistons if this is how they treat coaches.

Another Ganguly Question... lol --- Why cant just people take it that he is the PAST of Indian Cricket now. \nHaving said that, all depends on his show in the counties which he is playing in currently, Which am afraid he started with very bad scores. If he continues like this and then again in the Indian Domestic Cricket which I think he is gonna play after this. Then.. GOOD BYE to him. India has more young blood waiting in line. He can accompany Indian team for World Cup as an "Experience Advisor" though.. If he wants.

Sourav Ganguly has been one of the great batsmen who ever played ODI for India. But no cricketer is beyond question when he is not performing. So was the case with him. Further, he made the conversations within the dressing room public (i.e. he was asked to quit captaincy in Zimbabwe) which was an act of a person who do not have his mind in his control. Lastly, the newcomers i.e. the junior players of the Indian team are performing so well that there is no place for him in the team. Keeping all these things in mind and realising that the coach has a lesser role in team selection than the selectors, Greg cannot be accused of showing injustice to Ganguly.

well i think he is a good player but not in form right now & he should not play in west indies!!!!!\n\n\n Batting Maestro Sachin Tendulkar is a silent crusader when it comes to charitable works undertaken by him. \n\nReluctant at first to open up on this aspect of his life, lest it appears as a publicity hunting stunt, Tendulkar says he has been involved in humanitarian deeds since quite some time and would continue to do his bit to help the underprivileged. \n\nSuccessor to Dr A P J Abdul Kalam in the Board of CARE Hospitals, Tendulkar says the hospital has been of great help to the needy, especially sportspersons of the state. \n\n"It was an honour for me when our President, Dr Abdul Kalam suggested my name to be in the Board of CARE Hospitals in Hyderabad in his place when he became the first citizen of India," said Tendulkar. \n\nTendulkar has been instrumental in the hospital taking care of total expenses for treatment of even state level sportsmen and women. \n\n"This includes even by-pass surgeries, besides different problems faced by sportspersons. The hospital authorities keep me posted about their work towards sportspersons," he said after the initial hesitation to disclose his charitable deeds.

YES. HE DESERVED A PLACE IN LOOSING TEAM.\n\nWITH HIS PRESENCE WE NEVER WON A MATCH.\n\nSOMETHING FISHY.\n\nTHINK WELL.

Nah, I don't think so. Ganguly has been a mediocre performer who shows flashes of brilliance, so maybe we should try and pick up a brilliant player rather than a flashy one.\n\nHe is also said to arrogant and does not jell well with the players.\nst
