John Wright - Indian Summers

John Wright, former New Zealand cricket team captain and first foreign coach for Indian cricket team had come out with a book - Indian Summers which covers the details of the stint that he had, while he was coaching the team. He has heavily criticized the Indian selectors to be biased to select the players from their own zones. But that is something not very new, one can expect this from Indian selectors.

To be fair to him he had done a good job with the Indian team and produced some good results which includes a place for India in the finals of the World Cup where India eventually lost.

He also came out supporting Saurav Ganguly when he was left out of the Indian team following his love-hate affair with Coach Greg Chappel and said that such things happened during his stint as well and those should kept hidden and not to be made public. But his book release suggest something otherwise which will open fresh can of worms to be discussed what happened during his tenure.

Chappel might learn a trick here from Wright that it is good idea to note his briefings/discussions now with the team that will help him to write a book too later when his stint gets over.
