[SACHIN]

There is nothin gud happenin in Indian cricket since the last one month.

For starters the team is not doing well

Then comes the ganguly-chappell spat

Now the drama surrounding the AGM of the BCCI



well anybody followin the team can def say that these are not gud signs. Tdy i read tat Chappell has sent a 6 page email to the BCCI questioning Ganguly's attitude, where is this heading to.... i dont see an end to this....

Will Chappel be sacked????

Ganguly excluded????

i dont see how this dispute can be settled amicably but mind u .... we hav the best diplomat in Jagmohan Dalmiya I think its time he sets his foot into this turmoil.... hope really hope he can solve it.....

[Peeved HP]

I don't understand why Ganguly is always singled out for criticism. He's on his way back from a loss of form - dammit...name one player who hasn't gone through it....the Don and Sir Viv included. He hits a century in the first test and everybody is pointing at the time he spent on the crease and the number of balls he faced. Dravid makes 98 in almost equal number of balls and everyone goes up saying "Wow!! What a wonderful innings." Guys....atleast give him credit that he came back from such a slump to score a 100.



No discredit to Dravid - he's without doubt the best batsman India has had since Sunny and Sachin. But doesn't this smack of an outright bias? I can understand people criticising his current performances but it goes way beyond limits when people like Bishen Bedi call him a worthless cricketer. If he was such a worthless cricketer, how come it was he who took the beleaguered Indians (remember the series against WI and NZ before the last world cup?) to what they did in that WC? Not to mention his aggressive captaincy that even threw the Aussie toughies into a quandary?



As for his problem with running between the wickets, it has been so since quite a while. Nobody said he was jealous when he was scoring runs? How come he siddenly becomes the epitome of jealousy? And doesn't Laxman have a history of effecting runouts too? And doesn't Inzi have it too? Nobody calls them jealous when they run someone out.



Get a life folks....its very easy to keep pummelling on someone who's down. But if you call yourselves sport lovers, remember that its a give and take game. You give the players something only because you get something from them. At the same time, you'll get good performances from the players only if you support them through bad times. Fans might make stars...but just for that, they have no right to disrespect them.

Expect a a few hadtal's and protest march's in kolkata ne time now...

thats the tragedy in india...fans treat their idols as Gods...if he is in a bad form he shud be out, atleast till he gains it back...



we shud borrow a leaf outta australia's book - there are no prima donnas in the team. everyone shud be there on basis of suitability or performance, be it Ganguly or Tendulkar or Laxman or the 12th man.

The media plays a very important role in this...and in India the medis lives only in extremes (chadhao ya girao) which has a direct impact on the fans (u cld as well say that they showing what ppl. want to see). one more reason i see for this is the that other sports are not covered the way cricket is. the avg. persons' only source of info being the media he is ignorant of the success of indians in other sports (eg. the recent success of indian atheletes at the asian athletics championship), the situation gets worse when u have sh!t heads like these governing the other sports...

for that to happen, the politicians at the top level mgmt of BCCI should be replaced by serious administrators...

...and i blame the public for letting the media exploit their weakness. in india fans and followers get emotional when it comes to their idol - sportspersons or filmstars or politicians. "they can do no wrong" and "they should not be touched" is the attitude the fans have. thats why u yrself predicted hadtals and protest marches in kolkata. just last week in allahabad kaif's fans started a mini-riot and burnt ganguly's effigy coz they were upset abt non-inclusion of kaif in the team. it might have been unfair wtf is their problem if kaif is not excluded? protesting is fine but did it justify violence and arson?

[Peeved HP]

CAD.....



I still feel that Ganguly IS the right man to lead India at the moment. He has had a problem with his batting performances of late but I don't think anything has been wrong with his captaincy. He's still mentally very tough; does not give in under pressure and has a very shrewd cricketing mind. I'd like to state the case of Mike Brearly here. He is recognised as one of the best captains ever to have taken the field but his cricketing performances have been pedestrian to say the least.



You talk about Australia not having any prima donnas. Please tell me what was the test record of Ricky Ponting over their last 3-4 series till the 3rd Ashes test. Not very good looking I'm sure. But he was still retained as captain. You cannot chop around with the team every now and then. A playing unit needs a lot of coordination and that can come only by playing together over a period of time. Regular chopping will do nothing but throw the balance out of the team.



As for Chappell, how long has he been with the team for his words carrying so much weight? Why doesn't one ask John Wright, who I think is a better person to give this assessment?

... they also pelted his house with stones once (dont remember why...) aise log to har jagah rehte they need to b kicked and straightened...



My point is, if there are enuf number of distractions, interms of the coverage of other sports, for the fans they'll largely stay subdued when their hero's in one sport perform poorly...too much focus is on cricket and cricketers (sania mirza being an exception)...

[akhilis2cool]

Well I read a lines of the email in todays Ind express and it did not seem like chappell was really harsh on ganguly. It seemed more like he was trying to help him. This only goes to show how unreliable our media (esp TV) is.



The Text

...Sourav asked me whether I thought he should be captain of the team. I said that I had serious doubts that he was in the right frame of mind to do it. He asked me if I thought he should step down. I said that it was not my decision to make, that only he could make that decision, but if he did make that decision he had to do it in the right manner or it would have even more detrimental effects than if he didn't stand down. I said that now was not the time to make the decision but that we should discuss it at the selection meeting to be held later in the day.

Sourav then said that if I didn't want him to be captain that he would inform Rahul Dravid that was going to stand down. I reiterated that it was not my decision to make but he should give it due consideration under the circumstances but not to do it hastily. At that point Sourav went to Rahul and the two of them conferred briefly and then Sourav left the field and entered the dressing room. At that stage I joined the start of the training session.

A short time later Mr Chowdhary came on to the field and informed me that Sourav had told him that I did not want him as captain and that Sourav wanted to leave Zimbabwe immediately if he wasn't playing. I then joined Mr Chowdhary and Rahul Dravid in the dressing room where we agreed that this was not the outcome that any of us wanted and that the ramifications would not be in the best interests of the team.

We then spent some time with Sourav and eventually convinced him that he should stay on as captain for the two Tests and then consider his future. In my view it was not an ideal solution but it was better than the alternative of him leaving on a bad note. I believe he has earned the right to leave in a fitting manner. We all agreed that this was a matter that should stay between us and should not, under any circumstances, be discussed with the media.

The matter remained quiet until the press conference after the game when a journalist asked Sourav if he had been asked to step down before the Test. Sourav replied that he had but he did not want to elaborate and make an issue of it. I was then called to the press conference where I was asked if I knew anything of Sourav being asked to step down before the game. I replied that a number of issues had been raised regarding selection but as they were selection matters I did not wish to make any further comment.
