Sad Day for Indian Cricket???

After the stream of events that unfolded today in the Indian Cricket/Media , a prominent News Channel( whose prime anchor happens to be a cricket has been) has gone ahead and termed today as a "Sad Day in Indian Cricket". One is quite confused as to what event could have brought about a sudden pall of gloom, as if it were not already enough!

Was it Sachin's emotional outbursts or Greg's packing of bags?

Beats me!, for I thought it was the saddest day when we lost to Bangladesh , or to Srilanka (or what we call in India the Royal Calypso Collapso!)

The News of Greg Chappel's tendering of resignation should have actually brought some lost glory (and relief!) to senior players, for now they have made it aptly clear to all the wannabe coaches that:

1) no coach can ever mess with them
2) no coach can dare question their attitude or fitness levels
3) no coach can question their cricketing or advertisemnt commitments
4) "It my way or the highway" ( Chappell has indeed made the wise choice, albeit after two years of tinkering with the IMMOVABLE pillars of Indian Cricket)
