Greg Chappell's pride and self-confidence ultimately did not bode well with the senior players in the Indian team, writes Ajaz Ashraf for Firstpost.
Those who haven't experienced failure and its debilitating impact on a person can scarcely have empathy for the less gifted. From our experiences we learn the methods of harnessing fate to our ambitions and dreams. Since Chappell didn't know failure, he couldn't have experienced the crippling fear accompanying it. And he couldn't have mustered empathy for the struggling Indian players because his own successful career ensured this emotion did not mature in him.
