amithaba - i have neutral opinion on dada

however i want to pull rediff for posting such a useless article. did you know that V Anand became chess world no.1. do you know how many articles we got? 2 (1 interview of his and 1 from his mom!)

after the world cup, this is probably 1,729th article on cricket and this article has no meaning or relevance.

so why did rediff write it and host it?

thats the point to ponder .. dada is just incidental. for i care, they could have written an article on sachin's 20/20 debut.... and my reaction would be the same

Completely agree with you Kalyan. People like Vishy should be our real heroes who keep performing doggedly without getting media and fan frenzy or monetary carrots. Even if India spends one tenth of the money and time spent on cricket into other sports, we wont make a fool of ourselves at the olympics.

yes kalyan true
But how many people view the article on Anand.

The fact that we are writing thes blogs prove that cricket sells ... and not other games...and we really dont give proper respect to players ..

We won the world play offs in Davis cup? how much it was covered ???? it get less coverege than Leander / Mahesh fight off court...

so no point blaming media.... players....
if fans behav the manner we are behaving ... we will get such players .. media .. and results
:-)

I agree with ur opinion. This is just papparazi of cricketer's like Dada, Sachin and is of no use. Atleast rediff should stop such low level marketing stratergy.
