I think it's critical for team unity and morale that a good working relationship exists between captain and coach. I cite Vaughan and Fletcher as a good example. Ganguly's batting average playing good sides away in the previous 16 Test matches is 46.2. Based on that there is no argument to drop him from the side on form. As captain he also has a better away record than Inzamam-ul-Haq and is 3 years younger. Under Ganguly's captaincy India have won 11 of 28 Test matches (39.2%) compared to Pakistan with Inzi at the helm (37.5%). There appears to be a power struggle going on between Chapple and Ganguly. Why is it easier to change coaches than to change captains? My belief is that a new coach should have authority to choose his captain. The working relationship between the pair is vital to creating a positive and productive environment. Ganguly should follow Nasser Hussain's mature decision to step aside for the good of the team and continue to support the team as a player. Chapple was brought in to usher in a new era for Indian cricket but that must include authority to make some changes to the team including the captaincy.
