Chappell slams Indian media


Talking tough, the Indian cricket team coach Greg Chappell on Wednesday slammed sections of the media for putting the home outfit in a "negative" light.

"I am appalled at the amount of negatives that's put out there in the marketplace about this Indian cricket team," the 56-year-old former Australian Captain, who took charge of the Indian team last month, commented in response to a question.

The question -- whether India has the "killer instinct" like the Aussies -- annoyed the batting great.

"You keep asking me this question; many members of the media keep asking me this question," he said.
