"The Poms (British) taught them really well to keep their head down. For if someone was deemed to be responsible, they'd get punished. So the Indians have learned to avoid responsibility. So before taking responsibility for any decisions, they prefer not to," Chappell was quoted as saying by a website at a promotional event for his book 'Fierce Focus'.
Greg chappal is troll of cricketing world![]()
This is blatant racism and stereotyping of over a billion people should be unacceptable. Unfortunately too many in our neighbourhood treat the white man's word with too much respect. I am surprised that Indian members are not more outraged at these comments
Chappel should be reminded that the Brits sent convicts to Australia and that maybe that's why their cricket team is so disciplined because their ancestors are used to being put into jail and sent far away from home lol
Most Australians are not migrants from Europe they are fugitives,criminals and convicts sent from their motherland Briton. Now this guy is giving lessons to Indians, he should first know his roots and then talk. This is the same guy, out of fear asked the bowler to throw an under arm ball, to avoid his teams defeat. No need take lessons from this Idiot better ignore his comments.
One thing is sure these Australians envy Dhoni and his natural instincts of leadership.
what you expect from white people
You should know your facts then talk because only about 15% of australians descend from convicts and not many people associate with britian being our "motherland" does Pakistan call India its motherland.
Coming from a country with a bunch of terrorists who are on the same level of racism with the KKK and even more extreme.
Or how about this guy http://www.defence.pk/forums/cricket/164075-greg-chappell-again-hits-indias-heart-2.html trying to keep indians from posting in his topic thats very not racist![]()
He trolled here alright against the spirit of the game when he told his brother Trevor to bowl underarm

Greg Chappell again hits at India's heart
"The (Indian) culture is very different; it's not a team culture. They lack leaders in the team because they are not trained to be leaders. From an early age, their parents make all the decisions, their schoolteachers make their decisions, their cricket coaches make the decisions," Chappell said.
"The culture of India is such that if you put your head above the parapet someone will shoot it. Knock your head off. So they learn to keep their head down and not take responsibility.
"The Poms (British) taught them really well to keep their head down. For if someone was deemed to be responsible, they'd get punished. So the Indians have learned to avoid responsibility.

I dont belive in the bolded part, todays Kids are questioning every thing. My personal experiance with my dad is that he has given me ample freedom in making my choice and has stood by me when i am right and has not opposed/supressed me when i make a bad choice but just let me know what/where i might end up when i am taking a wrong turn. and most parents today are not controlling their kids, neither is that practice now practiced in schools.Chappell lacked man management skills and tried this school master approach based upon his above reflected opinion and there was a brief fall for India in the otherwise India's golden period in cricket which started with the defeat of Aussies in Calcutta in 2001 and ended with the World cup win in 2011. I believe this was due to the colllective responsibility and steely approach exhibited by the seniors like Ganguly, Dravid, Kumble, Tendulkar.
But I agree with his take about Indians in general. Indians are shielded by their parents till they complete their education - because the parents make tons of sacrifice, they feel they have the moral authority in making decisions while the kids being well protected shirk away from taking responsibilities. Another biggest bane is the respect the elders moral value taken too far - this makes a typical Indian believe that the elders are always right and most of them do not question their elders even when they feel the elders are wrong.
