Cricket feud
by chandrasekhar on Sep 28, 2005 12:31 PM

After all, the BCCI is a private company that has Jag Dalmiya and co as torchbearers or palbearers of the cricket. Why should the government allow BCCI to function like that? It should have been dismissed and the government should have formed a federation to run the affairs of cricket like hockey or any other sporting body. Since the BCCI is flush with funds, a handful of people like Dalmiya are playing havoc with the game. For the last so many years, after the first world cup title won by Kapil Dev, the BCCI chieftons are playing the spoilsport with the game. Their main motive is to earn money by making players guinea pigs.
Now, none can expect players to display their best talent ever in the field but only in dressing rooms and private mails.
Besides, when the country is having so many talented cricketers like Gavaskhar, Vishwanath, Venkatraman, Gaekwad, and Patudi where is the need to look for outside talent as team coach? Why should the BCCI appoint Greg to this post? In all these matters, I pity my fellow Indians to read much about the cricketers, follow the matches at the cost of exams and yet cheated in the matches.
