Cricket News: Greg Chappell says “We were stuck with Plan A, and we didn’t have a backup plan”

Cricket News: Greg Chappell claimed that the team was either too “locked” into Plan A or didn’t have a “Plan B.” During Australia’s Test series loss at home against India last summer. Australia’s decision to keep the same four bowlers. In addition, all four Tests were scrutinized. It was especially so when an inexperienced and drastically revamped Indian squad chased down 328. To win the series 2-1 at the Gabba. Earlier in the series, the visitors had fought back to draw the third Test in Sydney. At the Grade Cricketer’s Association, he gave a speech. Australia’s rigidity or lack of a backup plan, according to Chappell, cost them victories in Sydney and Brisbane.

”I thought last summer when Ind was here, we were locked into Plan A, and either we didn’t have Plan B, or we were not flexible enough to make the decision to go to Plan B. And I think it hurt us in the Brisbane Test match, possibly even in Sydney as well,” Greg Chappell said.

In addition, following the loss to India, Justin Langer’s status as head coach was questioned. Several players voiced their displeasure with the former starter’s micromanagement. Chappell also believes that Australia did not make all of its judgments last summer. Tim Paine, the captain at the time, developed them completely. The former player believes a coach should let the captain take over. Once the team steps on the field rather than sending messages from the dressing room.

Cricket News: “I had a feeling, not all the decisions were being taken on the field, that’s dangerous. As a coach, my belief of a coach is head of support staff. You manage all the coaches, doctors, physiotherapists, media managers, and you work side by side with the captain and help him devise a strategy and devise plans. But once they walk out on the field, let them go,” Chappell said.

“Lastly, if you’re in the dressing room second-guessing yourself, wanting to send instructions out, instructing people to do this or that.” I believe the game and team are in jeopardy because you are too far removed from making those crucial judgments,” Chappell added.
