Cricketers in Caribbean shocked over Chappell-Sachin rift

The latest to hit the ongoing Cricket World Cup is the Sachin-Chappell faisco with many legends of the game here expressing shock and dismay over the growing rift between the two greats.

Although most of them have stayed away from directly commenting on the messy affair but after the Woolmer episode, Sachin-Chappell rift has filled up the void left behind by the Woolmer's fading story.

''I have gone through the reports in the media and I am actually surprised. Both are great cricketers and both are committed to the game of cricket. There is something terribly wrong,'' said former Pakistani skipper Rameez Raza.

His comments are echoed by another West Indies legend Ian Bishop.

He too believes that there is some kind of communication gap between the two. ''I think this is the time to bury all these and rebuild the team.

''Afterall the Indian team is great team and they had just one bad day against Bangladesh. It happens in all sports,'' he said.

Here in the Caribbean both have great admirers but there is no doubting Tendulkar's committment.

Ask Barry Richards, and he would vouch for the little Master.

''There is no question about his commitment. He has not been in the best of form these days but he is not doing badly either. Perhaps the injury had hit him badly,'' he says.

He was also amazed by Chappell's charge that senior players had dominated over the junior players.
