Stop sounding like you have all the answers
by Sridhar Sundaram on Sep 29, 2005 08:59 AM

Prem,
You are a senior journalist, and in my honest opinion, you need to stop sounding so judgmental in your articles, especially concerning the BCCI. You need to sound more positive and creative in your ideas rather than a cynical old man. That is the only way you are going to graduate to the next level - on par with Harsha Bhogle, Ravi Shastri, etc.
With reference to your article "Is Greg Chappell a liar, Mr Mahendra?":
What is so ridiculous about what the committee did? If there is a spat between two employees that report to you, as a responsible manager, wouldn't you encourage them to try and work together? or, would you buckle under public opinion and fire one of them just to look decisive? Clearly, Chappell wants a bigger role than any coach has had in Indian cricket. Ganguly, on the other hand, does not want to yield because he is already in a precarious position in the team due to his poor batting form. The Committee would have looked silly if they totally took one side or the other. They did the right thing by demarcating the roles of the Captain and the Manager, and also stating clearly that henceforth, everybody will be judged on merit alone.
GROW UP, PREM
