Media call it an eyewash

AFP, Mumbai
The truce brokered by India's cricket chiefs between captain Sourav Ganguly and coach Greg Chappell was on Wednesday rubbished by the media amid fears another flare-up was around the comer.
Ganguly and Chappell, whose damaging rift was described by one newspaper as "the biggest controversy since the match-fixing scandal" agreed to patch-up before a high-powered panel of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) onDiesday.
But the media remained unsatisfied at the outcome and blamed the BCCI panel, which included former captains Sunil Gavaskar. Ravi Shastri and Srinivas Venkatara-ghvan. as' “spineless" for failing to take sterner action.
"Who are they kidding?" said an editorial in the Mumbai-based Daily News and Analysis.
"What makes this wishy-washy outcome even stranger is Chappell's acquiescence to tins travesty. After the open bitterness, life for the two of them will be difficult."
Chappell. 56. a former Australian captain and batting great, tookoveras Indian coach in June for a two-year term extending until the 2007 World Cup in die Caribbean.
Relations between Chappell and Ganguly soured on the recent Zimbabwe tour and culminated in the coach writing a confidential email to the BCCI saying the captain was unfit to lead India.
The 2334-wonl email, which was leaked to the media, spoke of Chappell's distrust of Ganguly, the country's most successful captain with 21 Test wins, seven more than second-placed Mohammad Azharuddin.
leading national broadsheet The J lindustanTimes ridiculed the uneasy truceworkedoutby the BCCI.
“Sourav Ganguly stays. Greg Chappell stays," it said. "And Indian cricket stays in the same mess into which it had got itself ever since the row between the captain and the coach exploded into the open and became the biggest controversy to threaten the game here since the match fixingscandaL"
Tvo very strong and egotistical men have lost face in the battle." said the Times of India. "They will not rest in peace until the other is eventually beaten.
“It cannot bea fairfight anymore."
Both Chappell and Ganguly were barred by the BCCI from speaking on the subject to the media. less than 24 later, however, the media relied on "authoritative sources" to describe what transpired atTbesday'smeeting.
The Telegraph from Ganguly's
home city of Kolkata reported that "the BCCI would have considered doing away with both if an understanding wasn't reached."
ridded the Hindustan Times: "The coach told the captain that he wants to be the boss. Ganguly said that Chappell was playing the blame game and creating an environment of insecurity, panic and fear."
Ganguly even seemed to have gained the moral high ground after BCG president Ranbir Mahendra said that one of the main accusations in Chappells leaked email -- that Ganguly faked injury - was "far from the truth."
Former BCCI president Raj Singh Dungarpur slammed the panel for no t takingconcreteaction.
"It's at best a temporary truce," Dungarpur said, "it's a spineless decision but where is thesurprise? No one was expecting any better from spineless people."
India are scheduled to play Test series against Sri Lanka. Pakistan. England and theMfest Indies, besides a minimum of 33 one-dayers, in a gruelling eight-month period from late October.
The national selectors, who had appointed Ganguly captain only for the Zimbabwe tour, will meet in midOctober to select the skipper for a seven-match one-day series against Sri Lanka fromOctober25.
