Chappell and Ganguly back on good terms

10 Dec, 2006

India coach Greg Chappell and former captain Saurav Ganguly have settled their differences and reached a working relationship, it was reported in the Indian media on Saturday.
"Let me make it clear that whatever happened had nothing to do with personalities. It was not about Greg Chappell or Saurav Ganguly," Chappell was quoted in Saturday's edition of national broadsheet Times of India. "It was all, what I thought, was good for Indian cricket."
Ganguly was sacked as skipper and one-day player last October and dropped from the test squad in February after a long batting slump and a row with Chappell. The 34-year-old middle-order batsman, who has scored 5,221 Test and 10,123 one-day runs, displayed his old touch with a morale-boosting 83 in the ongoing tour match against the Rest of South Africa. His innings helped rescue the visitors from 69-5 to declare their first innings at 326-7.
