Hi folks,
firstly , it seems too early to comment about anyone conclusively.
everyone seems to b behaving quite kiddishly in Indian cricket fraternity(i hope it is).
everyone has got used to rasgollas served by Dalmiya n team;the next course will be sahed n sugar(honey n sugar)-in all it will perenially be a khichdi of cricket.The people on the dining table will be the same.
I cannot take a great point talking for or against Saurav or Greg-everyone that comes into such a system will be spoilt no end.Compliance of senses is must here.Its Team BCCI not Team India.
Saurav, Greg just happen to be incidental characters influenced by the top bosses.
One is in the system only if he is agreeable to.
There is a tremedous lobby with captain, coach n other members of team.Therefore equal pressure is on everyone other than matters of cricket.
SOME QUESTIONS NOW:
What has politicians got to do with all State Cricket Associations?
What has CM’s n ex CM’s got to do with running cricket bodies?
There are such 3-4 more questions.They are not written for seeking answers here;but then one needs to question himself this to query;Why a captain behaves like this-The Rest Go Scot Free.
I would not like to take Saurav straight-I want to Question-Who makes a Saurav, like this>
or What makes a Greg like that?
you can guess who becomes ’bali ka bakra’ n who escapes.
Points to look into:Indian cricket should have Administration totally excluded from Technical Matters;a formation of entity of Selection Committe different from Technical Committee, but of ex cricketers.
Technical Committee n Selection Committee shud have in its office the Coach in matters of selection, election, n other decision making matters.
The Coach is the father(if u can find one)(we have tradition to give the highest position to a Guru).
Lastly , if a fielder continuously drops catches(Laxman)(Sehwag);if a batsman continuously runs everyone out including himself;if players regularly succumb to sickness, injury n x, y, z;
in every second inning the line n length goes missing, n we call for stand by’s.
The whole Consistency in approaching leave alone playing cricket , is gone.
So much is invested on each member, by way of selecting from other 2nd rung tournaments, so much on training, so much on experimenting , so much in giving exposure to perform credibly.
But is Cricket really happening?
So we need to send these boys back to the school benches where the teacher awaits with a cane.If you cant practise the reguers there -u shud be out there itself.Why shud further time b wasted on anyone-whether its Sachin, saurav or Dravid, Irfan, nehra, x, y, z.
WHAT I BELEIVE:
Greg has come to make your limbs, application, wills stronger n he is not here to worship Sachin, Saurav or Dalmiya.
If u make him do this hero worship -then forget watching any cricket pre n post 2007 world cup.
We make heroes, we beleive in hero worshipping, then we do bashing-
What did the saints say Create, Maintain, Destroy(brahma, vishnu, maheshwara)!!!!!!!???
