standards will only decline if u vomit hatred here !!! forget about ranadeb bose there are several players from many part of the states who have been deprived.being a bengali, I know ranadeb has been ignored that also wrongly, in the same regard I have seen both shibshankar and ranadeb bowling together, they as a pair is marvellous, and bengal's recent success is just based on these 2 players and tiwari and jhunjhunwala. but i don't know much about other states except a few, they too have some good players also. but as u know everybody cannot be included and i think Ranadeb's age is his biggest enemy now. But he can be the McGrath of India with his immaculate line & length, he just don't know how to bowl a "no ball" !! It just proves his discipline and effort. He is consistent and a proven player in each form of the game.
