On the coverage

Close on the heels of the sordid BCCI election drama in Kolkata comes the controversy over Indian cricket team coach Greg Chappell's email against Sourav Ganguly.

The episode does not deserve front-page treatment in a serious newspaper such as The Hindu. Chappell's photo should have been where it deserves to be — on the sports page.
