Say what? Times now, Headlines today and NDTV all saying Dalmiya is front runner to take over.
The "Wow", was because if that happens the wheel would have turned almost a full circle since 2004/05. Dalmiya's adminstrative career almost seemed over a few years ago too. The dynamics will completely change if he comes back.
Plus his views on the recent changes and IPL are well known too and pretty negative. But i guess, as Interim president he won't be able to do much unless he wins again in September.

Whatever it takes!!!
As I said, there seem to have been a few deals brokered at the Kolkata lunch hosted by Dalmiya around the IPL finals... maybe NS found himself an ally..

Well, Ram is as bad as NS when it comes to arrogance.. I will definitely take whatever he says with the same pinch of salt any words of NS deserves..
Cannot believe that possibly the best piece written on this whole saga has not yet been linked to here in CW..

So now we are accepting the police are playing games?
Still, think the Delhi police have followed a logical investigative route that has led them from bookies to players to the owner.. Can't say the same about the Mumbai police who just jumped in out of nowhere.

Where did i deny it ? Doesn't mean there investigation is incorrect though. I was referring to these leaks and selective quotes police are giving which seem odd.So now we are accepting the police are playing games?

And Mumbai police followed as logical investigative route as Delhi police did (Bookies arrested leading to other info). It's you're bias talking if you think otherwise.
Infact, atleast they put their money where there mouth is and pressed charges against Meiyappan whereas Delhi Police just oddly made a statement with commissioner coming out and then said they are not pressing charges. Mumbai police also had transcripts of conversation and arrested bookies on which basis they made the other arrests while regarding this case there doesn't seem any admissible proof yet.
Will be interesting what BCCI does now though, as Delhi CP's statement seemed targetted for their consumption rather than one with any legal basis. Surely they can't terminate RR and leave CSK alone ? Either Both go or both stay.

Actually, motivation of police or how they got the info leading to crackdown is irrelevant here, as long as their case is solid and provable in court.
But Police need to gather information and then press charges in court rather than do these selective leaks and press conferences.
And as far as BCCI is concerned if this info is correct, they need to terminate CSK and RR too. Throw out Srini.
But what they'll conveniently do is wait for the "probe" on CSK and terminate RR happily. Will be a utter disgrace if they do that and even you won't be able to defend that.

Hey.. you are the one who jumps up and down when someone says something remotely negative about Sachin.. Why pick on me?
And no, the Mumbai police trail was not from the bookies... It was always aimed at certain people.. Delhi police basically stumbled upon this during another investigation. Pretty much how Salim Malik got caught out of nowhere and how Cronjegate started... But if Mumbai police did follow a lead and got here, then good on them. I just have trouble trusting them given how information was conveniently "leaked" ahead of time... Then again, it might have been someone helping NS out by letting info. out earlier to help him devise an escape route.
I am with SJS in that NS should be thrown out.. Whether that means the CSK franchise and team get thrown out, I am not sure. Ideally, I would like to see something like what happened with Hyderabad happen.. But lets wait and see how many more teams are in the dog house.. I would bet a lot that just about everyside would be involved to some level.
NOT even you would then suggest banning teams is a better idea than scrapping the IPL itself.
BTW, still hanging on to that fantasy of Modi is better than Srini?

What a train wreck of a post. You want to desperately defend Srinivasan because he happens to be from where you are, but can't find any reasoning for it and hence try and make up all kinds of weird arguments and bring up irrelevant things.Hey.. you are the one who jumps up and down when someone says something remotely negative about Sachin..

1.) Wtf does Sachin have to do with anything being debated here ? Irrelevant as per usual.
2) And Mumbai Police arrested Bookies first. Who then spilled Vindoo's name. Who then in turn spilled Meiyappan's name. Get your facts right.
3.) Ideally, i would like the franchisees stay where they are and the ownership shifted. But as per BCCI rules if RR has to be scrapped, then CSK has to go too. Simple as that. Infact, the case against CSK is far stronger.
4.) Other teams are to be presumed innocent unless found guilty and scrapping IPL is throwing the baby out with the bath water. Might as well stop International cricket too because of Srinivasan?
5.) Yeah, Modi was a better adminstrator than Srinivasan in terms of efficiency and doing things. No doubt about that. Whether one was cleaner than the other is open for debate though. A bit like Lalu Prasad Yadav vs Chidambaram, if you like.
