What Kumble has said is true, At young age, without or with little of education, lots and lots of illgotten money, crores of endorsements, fame and star status, some of these players are not able to contain themselves. They are losing their gravity and balance of mind, and are exhibiting their obnoxious behaviour on and off the field. Adding fuel to fire, the undeserving support by some of their worthy friends and the BCCI treating them with kid gloves and bulldozing ICC when the need was a tap on knucles has encouraged them to become more violent and ferocious. This is very sad. The remedy lies in treating the trouble by nipping in the bud, rather than pampering them. BCCI HAS GIVEN THEM A VERY LONG ROPE, now is the time to think and act in a proper way.

Correctly said! BCCI must have learnt a lesson that it should never support a player for a wrong cause. Infact, it should not have appealed against Bhajji's ban during the recent Aussie tour. Had it been carried out, Bhajji must have learnt to behave himself and also it would have been a warning for other volatile players like Sree.
