Cricket Again....

Cricket is something which is close to most Indians and no matter how much we get disgusted by the ineptness shown by the BCCI, or the bitching about inside and outside the dressing room, the sight of Sachin or Sehwag hitting a Six or Kumble getting someone with his googly just makes you forget everything for a few moments.

I was reading the newspaper this morning and there was an article on the front page about BCCI putting Dada on some kind of notice. And I thought what this was, after having "solved" the rift between Chappell and Ganguly. But after wasting a couple of minutes on the article, I had no more information than I already knew.

Quoting from the article,

β€œTo a specific question on whether Ganguly should continue as captain, Mahendra said "It is for the selection committee to decide and the Board does not interfere in the matter." The BCCI chief also rebutted suggestions that the Board was turning a blind eye to Ganguly's poor form and his tendency to get embroiled in controversies which was a dangerous sign for the country's cricketing future.”

"See what you are saying could also be the feeling of many other cricket fans in the country. But let us all not forget that recently Ganguly has scored a Test hundred in Zimbabwe", he said. "Ganguly also might be seriously thinking about his form. So to say that we are not concerned or bothered is not right, we very much are," Mahendra said.”


Well, thanks Mr. Mahendra for thinking that many in country "could" also feel for the country's cricketing future. Maybe, in another few years, he will know that many "do" feel for the country's cricketing future. And about Ganguly's century, I don't have words to talk about it. And about Mahendra himself, why can't he get Dalmiya to write his public speeches as well and keep a spokesman for giving all interviews and reading out the speeches on his behalf? He might make more sense that way.
