Of Confidence that spurt some things

The differences between the newly appointed coach and longtime captain of the Indian cricket team has surfaced at a time when the team has won a test series away from the subcontinent for the first time in sixteen years.The captain of the team,Saurav Ganguly alleged that the coach asked him to step down from his post in the eve of the final test match of the series.While the words exchanged between them is a clandestine matter known only to them,the Indian media and fans of the game seem to be divided in their opinions on whether the captain is fit to lead the team or not.
The coach in question,Greg Chappel comes from a classified sporting nation where under-performance is never tolerated.Not so in India,where stars of the game are supposed to be Gods.Indians tend to forgive lacklustre performances from their stars and revel in their past glory.So the coach might have actually said what he is being alleged of.
The kind of questions being raised on the issue seem to be proliferating,with questions ranging from,"whether it was right for the captain to get vocal against his coach","whether it was right on the coach's part to say so" etc.But there is one question that nobody seem to be interested in getting answered.Would Ganguly have dared to voice what the coach is supposed to have said if he had not scored a century on that particular day?What if the Zimbabweans had dismissed him cheaply?Its hard to imagine that he would have gone public with the matter.He was simply riding piggyback on the confidence he had gained by scoring a century in the match.Otherwise the whole thing would have been swept under the carpet.
