Meet the Contenders
Gregory Chappell
The 56-year old Australian has a flair for the big occasion. He scored a century in his first and final Tests, scored centuries in both innings of his debut Test as captain and in between established a reputation as one of the finest thinkers of the mordern game.
At first glance, his resume is faultless. Well-spoken, shrewd, tactful, but tough; he has the qualities needed for the tough job. He has also written a brilliant book on coaching, 'Greg Chappell on Coaching: The Making of Champions.'
Sourav Ganguly is known to support Chappell for the job. The Indian skipper had approached Chappell to try and iron out deficiencies in his technique against quick bowlers and the rising ball just before India's last tour of Australia.
His only previous coaching experience is with South Australia, from 1999 to 2004.
