Selectors given judgement that Sourav and Sachin are out.Dravid shd stay as captain.,-all ok. But who will monitor the work of BCCI chief,selectors and other officials?
If there is no one that means BCCI is run with dictatorship.
I think more than the BCCI the media is trying to destroy Indian cricket..They always says something against the players and say that sources close to them had reported it..If that was the case then y was the report that Chappell submitted totally different from what the media had said..NDTV had said before the day of the meeting that they know what will be there in Chappell's report abt all the mafia and the attitude of the players..If so y was it not there in Chappell's report..
Media should be using its powers on things that need to be changed like the peraria case and other murder cases which are not resolved..Instead focusing on cricket and finally making all the players look like bad guys does not accomplish anything..It divides the players and the people watching the game..Really pathetic display by the media

are bhayya, these 24 -hour NEWS channels wants some news to put as BREAKING NEWS. But while trying to make these breaking news, they are breaking people and their careers. Chappel never said anything wrong against any single player individually, but press reported that he said sachin something and then Sachin reacted back saying that my attitude is questioned and Yuvi spoke to press defending sachin and so on and so forth.
Instead of these BREAKING NEWS, better prsee and channels concetrating on those which are effecting common man and solve his common problem.
i have seen a NEWs channel spending a lot of time and money doing surveys about the next president of INdia. Who cares who will be the next president? Whoever comes in, he will be a dummy president. Instead of them , they can concentrate on catching corrupt politicians and IAS officers and do something goog for the cociety. :)

MY DEAR, IF INDIAN CRICKET GOES DOWN, THERE WILL BE NO CRAZE ABOUT CRICKET(remember hockey), AND SO MANY EX CRICKETERS WILL BE JOBLESS, AS MEDIA PERSONS WILL NOT SEEK THEIR EXPERT OPNIONS ON TEIR CHANNELS.
Selectors hi jane wo Inida Cricketteam ko kaha le jana chahte hai. Possibly at same place where the Hockey team is. Giving Shewag again a chance need what. Kaif( If he didn't score much but he Saves run)no Place. Selectors logo ko jo karna hai wo karte hi and Then Also justify their steps.
Ibtadaye Ishq hai hota hai kya Aaage-2 Dekhiye hota hai kya.
good move, tendulker properly would of been ashamed if he played. Bangladesh will be wasted during the test matches but they should play well in one-dayers. Even with the wealth of experience indian senior players have they still continue to fail when it matters. Enough of this..kick out players who can't perform against top teams.
Bring back ifran, he has been treated unfairly by india. he hasn't played in long time and playing against bangla where he took a hatrick would of done him good. India needs 2 fast bowlers or they will never win matches.

Some players were given unfair treatment before..Good players like tinu yohannan and vijay bharadwaj were not included also and it seems that Md. Kaif is the latest victim

First india needs 4 bowlers, 3 fast bowlers with a spinner. Irfan along with zaheer are india's best. I have seen munaf bowl, the man so young yet he puts little effort in his bowling. He runs in slow and bowls at 120 mostly, that nothing. bring back irfan, when irfan was playing well india was winning matches people.
The rules that are applicable to Tendulkar and Ganguly are not applicable to Rahul Dravid! So, the fact that Rahul Dravid failed as a captain; that he is a slow coach on the field of play and he is in average batting form does not matter to the selectors!! So, Tendulkar and Ganguly have been "rested" due to the world cup debacle but Dravid has been incentivized for India's "great" performance in the WC!! Strange rules!!

thats the problme with our selection system. We select the captain first and then the team next. But this should be the other way arround. Select the best 11 member team and select the captain to lead the team. If this is the case, Ganguly can never find a place in the test team and shouldnt play any matches so far and same goes to DRavid may not be 100%, first atleast 50%. May be he can enter the team as a wicket keeper as did in 2003 and then captian the side :):):)

Upadrasta I think ur memory is very poor.In the latest test series Ganguli was the top scorer and if a top scorer can't find a place in the team then who eles can and if he does not find a place then the question mark can be raised against selectors or so called adjudicators like u.
Ajit Agarker has removed from the team,also sachin &GANGULI has been droped from team,why? the selection team saying that rest has been given to the players,then why DRAVID has not been given rest?
RE:Why Agarker has given break?
by shah khan on Apr 21, 2007 04:59 PM Permalink
the selectors finally realised they if agarkar can't perform against minnow teams then how can he compete against top teams. Agarkar should open the bowling for kenya..thats how slow and bad he bowls. we have bowlers like him in my cricket club even better.

For some odd reason, the media and bloggers are focused on Agarkar as the sole reason. If you watched the Lanka match, he was the only effective bowler with figures of 7-1-23-1 in the first spell..had it not been for the gaffe of the umpire, he had Jayasuriya on his first delivery..which would have probably meant 7-1-23-2 or even better...
will the board or for that matter Dravid and Shstri select a young team and rest sachin and saurav for the england and australian tour( both odis and tests)? Dropping these for young players is all hogwash. Bcci and the selectors are doing this to passify the public. Everyone knows including the captain himself that without Sachin and Saurav we can't win even the tour matches. It seems (courtesy:NDTV) the selectors felt that dravid was not comfortable with the seniors in odis.So they have dropped the seniors. Big joke! I want to know whether our captain is comfortable with himself. May be he is suffering from inferiority complex.

The Board the captain and the captain's fans all are stinking and farting in joy.
The entire place is full of foul smell.
India will return loser from Bangla outing.
The great captain shall silently pass three more farts in joy again.
Only new player is Manoj.
He will not be given any chance to play and be dropped again.
The scheme is such that they will call Tendulkar agin but won't give chance to Ganguly.
Farting captain is farting all over the places with his farting fans who write long eulogies on this joker Rahul.
Bare his back and cane him with an oil soaked cane stick 10000 times.

Indiraji,
Nobody is indispensible. Dear Saurav & Sachin are also humans & can only for limited periord. If India depends only on them for winning matches, then better India stop playing International cricket.
