Dear World,

On behalf of thousands of proffessionals in IT, ITES, Manufacturing, Agriculture and Education who service you night and day, I have the following message for you.

That we the proffessionals are our nation's pride and our cricketers are an international disgrace.

That we identify with our present cricket team only with great reluctance, the reason being our common nationality.

That the similarity between us and our crickers ends right there

That we shall more than make good by improving the standard of our products and services the fall in the standards of cricket caused by our cricketers.

Thank You

Relax Guys
by RAJAT GUPTA on Mar 24, 2007 05:21 PM  Permalink 


Hi friends don%u2019t be so depressed by the defeat. Every thing has brighter side to it, for cricket team this performance will certainly help to get rid of the hype WE THE PEOPLE have created and Mr. Chappell will be thrown out. For India as a nation its a blessing in disguise as India%u2019s early exit will certainly save a lot of man hours which will help us to further boost our economy. Reports were already published around 1 or 2 year back that as matches in West Indies start very late according to Indian time so the WC be moved to some other place as the TV viewer-ship will be low, so I don%u2019t think that the companies have lost a lot of sponsorship money. Moreover all the companies sponsoring these incompetent players will also get a lesson to not to spend their money on such hopeless group of jokers and may be its better for them to give it for some social causes. May be this early WC exit will help our nation to get ahead in other fields of life. But the problem is only may be as some day in future Indian team will do well again and WE THE PEOPLE will be praising them as usual on the same board that includes me too.

Why there should not be probe?
by An Indian on Mar 24, 2007 05:18 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Defeat from Bangladesh, then from Sri Lanka and it is almost out from the race of Word Cup 2007 worst ever situation after 1979. India ornamented with so called world class batsman could not sustain for even allotted 50 Overs, what a mockery.

Indian cricket lovers can think many bitter episodes and planned chopping of its organ so that India should not come as contender in the World Cup.

Plan No. 1
Target the person who is commander of Indian winning expedition, i.e. Sourav Ganguly. Unfortunately Ganguly was passing through bad batting form and his record was too poor, controversies were created and he was shunted out with big humiliation, so that he should not be in position or dare to come back as an asset for Indian team, fortunately for India and unfortunately for Kiran More %u2013 Greg Chappell duo team that Ganguly could retaliate with his performance, which is very rare in the cricketing history and if our cricket lovers refresh their memory and go to just few months back, even cricket legends like Kapil Dev, Ajit Wadekar etc. had advised Ganguly to give up to avoid further humiliation. A player like Ganguly was inside the squad but not included in the final team and used as extra player. Bad phases are part of every player as presently it is with our great batsman Virendra Shewag, the player may be dropped and may not to be included till he comes back to his potential form and these are the regular part of the selection and game, but why the controversy and humiliation and then subsequent drop. Controversy and subsequent humiliation was an attempt to demolish the asset of India i.e. Ganguly who had promoted and nurtured many talents during his captaincy, and to communicate a loud and clear message to all the new players that we duo are the supreme and players should be ready to face dire consequences if they dare to bring the truth (one can recollect the warning to Harbhajan Singh etc.). When Ganguly was dropped our cricket lovers may go through the performance of Ganguly and Tendulkar for last 25 matches both in ODI and Tests (the date from which the Ganguly was dropped), one can compare the performance of both and would find that record of both the players be it strike rate, average etc. etc. were more or less equal, rather Ganguly was better by inches, but both were dismally poor but then why only Ganguly was dropped. I am an ardent fan of Tendulkar, his contribution is matchless so my interoperation should not be taken wrongly. What I want say that the drop of Ganguly with humiliation, especially when he had one asset with him that his character of aggressiveness, which was the asset for Indian Team was not justified, even he had to be dropped than why not gracefully so that wrong message should not go to player and whole world. Yes, Ganguly is also a player like others, and he should be dropped if he is not useful in the present context, but with clear message that your doors are not closed forever provided you prove yourself again as an asset for the country. But it was something unusual that Kiran More told that till he is there his doors are closed forever or in the other word he spread his message that he is the dictator and supreme authority and right to go against the interest of country. What a mentality (or the obvious reason behind such demolition) of Kiran More and what a tolerability of BCCI (provided there is no other intention) and in general country people and cricket lovers, who could digest such huge loss so far the pride of country is concerned. There may be differences in opinion but nobody can be bigger than country%u2019s pride and at least a person like Kiran More. After all it is not personal fight, all the activities are for country i.e. 110 Crores citizens, it is neither the personal Bed Room of Kiran More where he has right not to allow Ganguly to enter or nor is the Ganguly%u2019s courtyard that he would not touch the bat till Kiran More is there. The whole matter was quite disgusting. Apart from this it is difficult to digest that a player like Kiran More was judge for evaluating the performance of world-class great batsman Sachin Tendulkar, Ganguly, Dravid. VVS Laxman etc. and world-class bowler like Kumble, Harbhajan etc. Any cricket lover of his generation (I am from this generation) knows very well about his contribution for our country and the new generation can go through the Videos available or at least the statistics available in websites or elsewhere. I do agree that Ganguly and More has right to fight, wrestle or anything they want but those should at their personal life, outside the cricketing affair and must be once the cricket life of Ganguly finishes, at that time probably it would be their personal affairs.

Plan No. 2
Involve a person in the controversy, is also an asset for the country and should be little cool and must not a strategist and shrewd. It is ironical that the duo choose (or lured) Rahul Dravid, a cool person, through gentleman, do not involve in dirty politics, may not understand their dirty, as sacrificial goat, so that if someone in future try to rectify these wrong motives must loose (i.e. moral of Dravid) something vital. Everyone know that Ganguly is shrewd, a complicated person and absolutely not simple like Dravid, and it also true that these are assets so far the captaincy and competency is concerned required to compete in world cricket.

I strongly feel that BCCI should investigate the matter through some agencies capable to investigate such matter deeply, where Kiran More being an Indian indulges in such heinous acts, which is now irreparable. Rather I plea to the President Mr. Sharad Pawar to initiate actions to uncover the truth. BCCI should also investigate the acts Greg Chappell also as to why he dumped the interest of country (for which he is being paid) and preferred his own interests (or the interest of others), ego etc. etc. If there could be possibilities for match fixing, then a why phenomenon of country fixing for a particular period is not possible and can not emerge as new way, after all it is the era of innovation, be it bad (good for someone) or bad.

BCCI should introspect about the appointment of Greg Chappell with such huge remuneration, the consequences thereof (forget about the result) and with what object he was appointed i.e. World Cup. Is nobody in India was that capable, when we have retired world-class players?

Can one think some sort of country fixing (instead of match fixing) to wipe India from Word Cup?

Indian people (especially the people living in that city) should asked Kiran More personally and in detail about his all such nuisance acts, for which India had to pay such heavy cost.

Ganguly was the one who had told the press that Kiran More's asking for money from a cricketer for a chance in the team - should be probed. That is why Kiran More tried to chuck Ganguly out!

Shameless
by Rajendra Bongale on Mar 24, 2007 05:11 PM  Permalink  | Hide replies

Inzamam immediately anoounced his retirement when Pak failed to enter next round.Pak cricket board President also resigned.Is Mr.Dravid has the guts to do so?Is Mr.sharad Pawar has the guts to resign? All our players are shameless and they are not worried what the common man feels.They are all after money and they want to mint money.Sachin is such a shamless players, inspite of repeated failures he still is there in the team shamelessly.I had on many occassions in this coloums written, that this team will not enter super 8 when the team was announced.At that time I had told that Sachin and Shehwag are passengers and Indian tema will not enter next round.Dravid is the worst adamant and idealess captain.Ganguly should be back as Captain.Gavaskar told that Sachin should play till 2011.This
gavaskars,Sachins or Shastris are shameless Bomaby players they never think of team but they think of self and self earnings.Sachin,Sehawag,Kumle,Dhoni,Bhajji Dravid should be dropped immediately and they should be asked to explain for the poor performance and whatever they money was spent should be recovered from these players.

Cricket in India.
by ramprakash bagree on Mar 24, 2007 05:11 PM  Permalink 

India's Debacle in the world cup 07,few reasons:-1/Lack of sincere effort to improve cricket by politicians who are not only interfering by virtue of posts they held but also lack of desire to earn fame & name.
2/Probable nexus between betting syndicates,
3/Poor selection- Agarkar is always in playing 11,when he is fit,where as Shreesant & Pathan have to just watch from pavilion.[He is responsible for many defeats in the past.can check his record.]
4/Coincidence!1987 wc-semifinal- Kapil won the toss & put England to bat contrary to experts advice that team winning toss will bat first,1995-6, wc- semifinal-Azharuddin's famous invitation to lanka for batting first t Kolkatta cost India the berth in final!1999 wc- The players responsible for early exit were A zharuddin AS CAPTAIN & Agarkar as bowler.
2003-Sorav invited Australlia.Dravid is the poorest captain ever of any cricket team in India.[He is an exceelent player, no doubt]
