Did you ever criticise Srinivasan by the way hb? Or did you love him because he was a Chennai supporting fellow.

There is nothing to accept.. The worst rule was Dalmiya when fixers ran rampant. And of course I Have criticized him and Dhoni. Just because you were not on CW does not mean you cant dig up old posts. But then again, talking sense can be hard for you when posting about BCCI... BTW did you book your WT20 tickets online? Did the site work? Do you recall having similar issues in 2011? Or just conveniently forgetting good things just because they happened under Srini like you always do?

IPL always had Sidhu and another guy alternating with another guy as host in extraa innings. Harsha was seen more as a commentating role in commentary box. BCCI could terminate him from IPL coverage as they own the rights but don't think he's expelled from Star Sports coverages yet which is independent of BCCI (?)

Yeah that is what I am trying to understand coz I dont see anyone new in the box except Nathan McCullum and I dont think he was the replacement for Harsha. You guys seemed to be implying Sidhu from the earlier posts but from what I saw, he is doing the same thing he has been doing in the earlier IPLs.. Being the studio "expert" and a pain to the senses with those "tokhos"...

Rampant corruption is obviously the same as poor booking methods of tickets.

Yes.. non-cricketers involved in betting is the same as players fixing international matches and getting to captain their side for it as a thank you... But then again, why let facts get in the way, huh?

And btw, Rampant corruption was what it was when Dalmiya ran the show.

What are you guys even fighting about? This is the BCCI. Pretty much a collection of India's most corrupt politicians and industrialists. It is never going to be a good place.

I thought RCB finally got the side to win the whole thing and then Starc went down.I wont be watching much of the IPL but what do people think of RCB's chances this yr ?
They've definitely got better balance than previous yrs.I am glad we roped in local guys like Rahul and Binny.

I think Rahul should follow Kohli's textbook of T20 batting.Pick the gaps and run hard rather than doing something which you arent accustomed to i.e playing fancy shots.He was incredibly underwhelming at Sunrisers.Hope he turns it around at RCB.

I picked them as my team this year.. And next thing I know, they will be without the 2 best T20 bowlers in the world for the whole season.. :p

I know Delhi were horrible today but i really do like the look of their side tbh.Good Indian core with quality but not WC foreign stars.Some of them are new to the international scene afterall.
De Kock is going to be the next superstar of South Africa.Even AB wasnt this good at his age.
Whilst Nair and Iyer will be representing India on the test scene pretty soon imo atleast i hope.Dhawan's got enough chances and its time to bin him.Not to mention Samson who's proven quality in the IPL.
Nice exciting young core they've got.
