Lies, Damned Lies and

Richard Earle; rather his article on Greg Chappell post Chappell's return to Australia.

Salient features include these gems

India's shock exit from the World Cup caused angry mobs to riot in the streets of Calcutta.
Right - obviously Mr.Earle is privy to events none of the Indians are privy to.

Chappell lashed out at Indian media for exaggerating a pre-flight health complaint in Mumbai.

Chappell said reports he was admitted to hospital with a serious illness were incorrect.

"It was just a minor thing that they obviously made into something bigger," said Chappell of his ailment, which was reportedly a combination of stress and dehydration.

"The health is fine, there is no drama other than what the media made of it.

"I just had some tests done to make sure I was in good health to fly and come back to Australia."

Yeah okay... So here are the media reports ; mind that the Aussie newspapers are quoting PTI or 'From correspondents in Mumbai, India".
