Ian Chappel - A notch above the rest commentators.

I was listening to extra innings at the lunch time when South Africa folded for 149. Africans were tamed and Smith was taught a lesson that if the opposition is strong you better keep your mouth shot. You are not at the top of your career and your team was just beaten by Bangladesh. Was listening to Ian Chapel and Boycot about Australian team. Ian is simply superb when he speaks. He sounds a great expert of the game as well as intelligent.

Responding to one question about does Australians have a batting plan in mind he replied that being an International batsmen you should be knowing what to do at this stage. If a coach needs to tell you that go play like this then perhpas that is too late for a coaching lesson.

Should Mcgrath retire at this point of time? Well, Chapel's reply was that one should retire when people ask that why he is retiring and not when people start saying that why not? Mcgrath and Warn did that and same about Brian Lara.

About Tendulkar he said that he is playing for the wrong reasons. He needs to look into the mirror and ask himself that when should he retire or what should be doing for the team. If he is putting his natural game aside and playing defensively just to carry on and not to win a game he should better be asking that question to himself that why not?

Well, Chapel's remark might spark another controversy but nobody can deny that millions of fans have already started asking this question that why not? And not even testimonials from Gavaskar, Richards or others will make them change their opinion. The only thing which can is Tendulkar's bat.
