I think its too early to judge Greg Chappel, we should judge him at the end of this series, maybe after England tour us. I think its wrong to compare Greg Chappel to Tom Moody. This is because Moody started with a Sri lankan team which was in form from last season and he also has in-form players like Kumar Sangakarrah. Greg Chappel started with an Indian team which had a horrible last season, he also didn't have Sachin Tendulkar who has been injured with a tennis elbow. Saurav Ganguly was banned and was in terrible form and the fast bowler were meidiocre.

I think Greg Chappel has done quite well with this team considering the points i mentioned earlier. He told his main aim was the fast bowler and we have seen some inprovemnt from the pacemen since last season. I think the only reason his coaching has come under qusetion is because Saurav Ganguly.
