Excerpt from Greg Chappell's interview to TOI.
When you came in Virender Sehwag was struggling. He is struggling even now?
The way he loads his bat he reminds me of a golfer and as his game is reliant on fantastic hand-eye coordination, it will be quite futile to teach him technique at this stage of his career. It's best for him to clear the cobwebs, if any, in his mind and look to bat through 30-40 overs. Against Sri Lanka, he was looking good till he became over adventurous.
Flashing across the TV screen on all news channels as 'breaking news' : Greg to TOI- It's futile to teach sehwag how to bat.
Now that's quoting out of context. The media takes creative liberty in quoting people. And then they get reactions from former cricketers to the supposed comment. It all then snow balls into a major controversy and the media feeds on it.
