Greg Chappell:The Cricketer Known for His Controversies.

Retired Cricketers as Trend Setters: Retired cricketers have become trend setters in writing books loaded with controversies and sell them as hot cakes. It is an irony that in the process such cricketers not only burn their fingers and in fact some times such controversies they unleash backfire at them. Chappell Brothers:Ian and Greg No doubt the Chappell brothers, Ian and Greg had been the backbone of Australian cricket during their prime days and had made immense and invaluable contribution to the Australian cricket. After their retirement, Ian Chappell has been a fine cricket commentator and known for his straightforward and unbiased views and bold comments on the performance of the players. Luckily, Ian Chappell has not got entangled in any controversies. Greg Chappell,the Controversial Cricketer: But Ian’s brother, Greg Chappell has been the just opposite. Whatever he speaks or writes has become a subject of controversy. Especially in India, when he was appointed the coach of the Indian cricket team, he did not complete his full tenure smoothly. It was rather unfortunate by smacking controversies and passing comments that were unpalatable to Indian players, especially the then Indian captain Saurav Ganguly, the Indian Cricket Board stripped of his coaching assignment halfway down his tenure and Greg had to return to Australia as a disappointed man. Most recently, when Ricky Ponting called it a day for ODIs, Greg Chappell had every right and reason to hail Ponting and his contribution to Australian cricket. But he did not confine himself to Australian cricket. Going a step further he commented that Ponting’s retirement would evoke some reaction from some Indian senior cricketers, thereby insinuating players like Sachin Tendulkar would follow suit. It was a comment uttered in a bad taste and perhaps emanated from jealousy. In his latest book released in India titled ‘Rahul Dravid, Timeless Steel’, Greg Chappell has again ignited a new a controversy; this time he had used the age old divide and rule tactics, supporting one against the other. Greg Chappell’s controversy dwells about Rahul Dravid’s stint as a captain of the Indian cricket team. He praises Rahul Dravid for his seven consecutive ODI wins against powerful teams like Pakistan and England and a record 17 ODI wins in a row batting second. He credits Rahul Dravid’s strategy for his remarkable wins. He also praises Rahul Dravid as the worlds second highest run scorer besides dwelling in detail about his monumental achievement of scoring a series win in test cricket in 2006 against the West Indies in their own den, It was Ajit Wadekar’s Indian team that won a test series in the West Indies in the year 1970-1971.It was Rahul Dravid’s Indian team that tasted a test series victory in the West Indies after a period of 35 years. Despite the series of test and ODI wins, Rahul Dravid was not allowed to become the most successful captain of the Indian team, since some other Indian players did not welcome it and take in good spirit. Had Rahul Dravid got the full fledged support from other Indian players, the current Indian cricket scenario would have been entirely different and Indian cricket team would have been enjoying the number one status in the world. Thus Greg Chappell is time and again becoming a controversial cricketer, especially while writing his books and cricket columns.

How to Teach Kids to Tell Time (Guest Post by Dana Le Roy)

Learning how to tell time is very important for all kids to know. From an early age, children learn a wide variety of skills that they will use later on in life, but telling time is one of the most important and practical functions that a child will learn. Parents and teachers often work together to teach children how to tell time, but you can definitely get a head start and teach your kids at a younger age than most. It does take patience and perseverance though, so taking a slow and steady approach is important. 1. First - Numbers Learning to tell time begins with understanding the basics. Before teaching children how to tell time, you must make sure your child fully understands numbers first. Without a basic understanding of numbers, it is completely impossible for a child to read a clock or understand its purpose. Practicing number memorization is the first step. Using positive reinforcement when a child shows progress in understanding numbers is a great idea. Not only will this make children feel good about understanding numbers, it will also make them eager to learn more in the future. Staying patient is important, as it may take a while for them to learn. However, as long as they understand thoroughly in the end, the amount of time it takes to learn is not important. 2. Slow and Steady First, a child must understand the hour function on a clock. Once this function is totally understood, move onto smaller numbers. Working in small steps is the most effective route to take - start with hour intervals, then half hour intervals, then quarter hours intervals, etc. This approach takes patience, but it is important. Overwhelming a child with too much information at once increases the likelihood of them forgetting what they have learned, or becoming confused and frustrated with the learning process. 3. Practice, Practice, Practice The most important part of teaching kids how to tell time is to practice, practice, practice. As the saying goes, "practice makes perfect". This is especially true when it comes to children. Children learn from memorization and repetitiveness. The child should practice telling time both in the classroom and within the home. Practicing on both digital and analog clocks is also important. While analog clocks are becoming less frequent in modern times, they are still present in many places. If your child is lost, you don’t want to risk them not being able to read something so important. Dana Le Roy likes to write about her kids, finance & saving money at www.backgroundcheck.org.
