Captain n coach to appear again in front of review committee

2005-09-27T23:14:00.000-07:00

I like the way NDTV is trying to criticise ganguly. click on the link:News is, vide NDTV, that coach Chappell and captain Ganguly will face the review committee all over again, at the end of the ODI series at home against Sri Lanka and South Africa.Indian cricket has come to a pretty pass, if the two seniormost members of the actual team -- its leader, and the head of its back-room staff -- are

Inzamam issue!!!

When I first heard about the Super Series, We were told that players would be selected on their recent performance, performance against Australia, Performance Against Australia in Australia, Here follows this for both Players:Inzamam's performance in recent year : 704 runs in 18 innings with average of 50.29Performance Against Australia Overall: 31.97Against Australia in Australia on his last

compromise consensus or come-down?

2005-09-27T18:26:00.000-07:00

my comments in parantheses:The meeting convened by the BCCI's review committee to go into the coach v captain issue has just ended. This is what the sequence of events has resulted in: Cricket needs to go forward.The coach and captain need to work it out mutually and maintain a professional relationship. (So what was the need for the committee to take this issue up if the captain and coach need

Indian Express, for some reason, appears to have taken the ongoing developments harder than most -- a veritable flood of 'what the hell is going on' pieces on that site; here for your edification is the latest. Click the title to read the article

I HATE THIS......it pisses me

Mr Ganguli is the worst batsman in the team in last 3,6,9,12,15,18 months in both tests and odis. He should be sacked immediately.Compromise that BCCI speaks of will actually be victory of corruption, nepotism, ineptness.

BCCI will not sack Sourav or Greg... for now

The familiar Indian way or the new Australian way?I can tell you for sure, we the Indian cricketing fraternity, which includes current players too, have always fantasised going the Australian way. It’s often talked about in close circles, amongst

Please define compromise??-by Prem

Ex-players, says this story, are increasingly speaking out in favor of a compromise. Sample quote:Chetan Chauhan puts it pithily: ‘‘The captain and the coach are two pillars of a team. Remove one and the team will fall on itself. Anything other than a compromise will have a negative impact.’’Reminds me of this friend who, while discussing marital relations, once made a rather pithy remark on '

The prediction!!!!!!

2005-09-25T21:47:00.000-07:00

this is what is going to happen: GANGULY TO RETAIN CAPTAINCY, GREG FIRED!!!! the reason I am certain of this to happen is:Apne Kaptaan Gangu ki achi pehchaan hai--well connected with the BCCI committee.the bookies also r supporting n betting ki ganguly will retian captaincy and it is the coach who will be axed. One thing is for sure that our committee members

Shitty guys of Indian circket

News Flashes on the TV suggesting that the team manager proving Chappel wrong. He says Ganguly was always there in all the practise sessions. Now seems Chappel gonna be alone facing the BCCI. I think Greg is being targetted for no reason. It is just that old notion "sachai ki kabhi jeet nahi hoti hai kalyug mein" ...........that is what is happening right now...........those who dare to stand are

I wish Ganguly is THROWN out!!!

2005-09-25T11:53:00.000-07:00

I must admit though that I felt a huge rush of joy on reading GC's email. It will be difficult for Ganguly to wriggle out of this mess. Over the last couple of years, Ganguly's batting has been a disgrace. A monkey on hot bricks is more entertaining

Who leaked the letter to the media?

2005-09-25T00:12:00.000-07:00

this CONFIDENTIAL e-mail was sent to Ranbir Singh Mahindra and S K Nair. I fear RSM forwarded this CONFIDENTIAL e-mail to his "boss" Jagmohan Dalmiya, who leaked it CONFIDENTIALLY to the "local" media.

My opinion about Greg-Ganguly spat

2005-09-24T23:52:00.000-07:00

i think that now because this email is out in public, BCCI will have to do something.. BUT, since when has BCCI become so responsive to public opinion.. Just like they once had a private coversation with Azhar to reprimand him ( I cant remember the exact details right now) .. cant they say that they have talked to SAurav and he has agreed to mend his ways.. and thus sweep everything under the
