Thanks Greg for showing us the Mirror!!!

How can the cowered cricketers want a grassy pitch!! If you remember our 'great hero' Sachin gave 2000 Rs to curator of green park stadium for making a 'dust bowl' after winning the test against Newzeland when he was captain. The reason is that he wants to thrash Newzeland on a dust bowl and want his players to make century and double century on that pitch!! If our heros have these kind of 'Skin-saving' mindset,how can we expect our budding cricketers to not follow them!! I'm not in favour of making all the pitches in India a dust bowl but there should be a diversity of it, like in Australia where Sydney is spinners haven then Adilade is batsman haven then Perth is a fast bowlers haven. But here O God! what a poor mindset. Our captain(Ganguly) ran away from the test bcos of the green top of Nagpur...ha! ha!
All these players are selfish and only selfish....
There is nexus not only between 'Mafia' players and 'Match fixers' but also between BCCI and corporate world. I mean how can you include the kind of player who is in pathetic form like that Veeru...match winner??..the truth is that he was backed by the companies for which he was endorsed!
One thing Chappel did was absolutely right that he opened up this nexus..Sachin is now behaving like our 'Netas' and trying to gain sympathy from Indian public..and we stupid Indians believing him again like we believe in our 'Netas'...Chappel has shown that how rotten the Indian cricket is from inside and the CANCER is in the last stage, where no cure is possible.. or is there any cure?? any body who tell me the suggestion to cure it...huuh...no body can!!!

Well the philosophy here is grass is for cows, so our batsmen are scared of grass on the pitch.

I do not believe that BCCI will take any constructive action. They will form an Inquiry Committee and that committee will submit a report after 10 years. By then the non-performing cricketers will have made their money and if possible, become office bearers of the BCCI. The only hope of unearthing young talent is the Zee TV. Our superstars will certainly not play there as one has to work to earn the money offered.
