    BCCI Contract System

    I think the reasoning behind 3 tiers was the financial part where Sachin, Dravid and the likes may not want to be clubbed with the same sort of compensation that Irfan Pathan would get and understandably so. So I would have preferred to club all the current set of test and ODI players into the...

    BCCI Contract System

    Yep, Patel should have been in group B. And group C should have been expanded a little bit to include the likes of Dinesh Mongia and a few others who are in the selection radar from time to time.

    **Official** Australia in India Thread

    With the emphasis by the Aussies on playing this series very patiently and not go for their natural slam bang game, I think this series can be one grinding stalemate with neither batting side giving an inch and not taking the initiative to force the issue. It all depends however on how the...

    Ganguly v Tendulkar

    Yes I agree that Ganguly has his failings in strategy. But he is a very capable leader of men. That's what he has shown, and its an essential and important part of being a captain. He can improve on strategies. Before Ganguly came in, India were getting thrashed in overseas series all the time...

    Ganguly v Tendulkar

    I am talking about Ganguly. When he took over, India even lost at home. There was young blood in the team in the form of Harbhajan, Sehwag, Zaheer and Nehra coming in and Ganguly fought with selectors on occasions to get these guys settled in the team to an extent. He stuck by his team and made...

    **Official** Australia in India Thread

    Yeah, I guess when Dravid would be at the non-striker's end he will be the target of Warne's "back-firing" and will pass out anyway. :D :D But seriously, Dravid's stature as a batsman has grown by a huge proportion since the last time Warne and Dravid faced each other. So IMO, the fact that...

    Ganguly v Tendulkar

    What is this rubbish. This team was built by Ganguly and he has delivered. This ODI tournaments thing is taken way out of context. How many Indian captains have won ODI tournaments outside of Asia anyway ? And home ODI tournaments aren't that many as it used to be earlier. When Ganguly took...

    **Official** Australia in India Thread

    Armed with emergency supplies of baked beans and spaghetti, Warne targets Dravid :D :D :D http://foxsports.news.com.au/story/0,8659,10891241-23212,00.html

    Appealing decisions?

    This is completely mindless.If this were implemented then it will destroy the game of cricket as we know it. There maybe errors on the part of umpires but to make the umpire a completely toothless creature is going to destroy the game. If umpires commit mistakes, the concerned parties can voice...

    Now, SA threatens to cancel India tour

    Actually Delhi police never got a chance to make their case. The CBI in India took over the case and went through the special investigation route in the form of a one man panel(Madhavan) based on which the BCCI took its actions in banning Azhar and others. The Delhi Police case which was the...

    The FINAL--> Westindies VS England

    Hopefully this win will go a long way in reaffirming the faith of the Windies fans and players in their team, atleast to work towards building a more committed team for the future in both tests and ODIs. And if Windies can maintain this form to an extent till the 2007 world cup, I guess it will...

    The FINAL--> Westindies VS England

    Whoa ! this is awesome. I never gave the Windies a chance when the 8th wicket went down, and there they are with the trophy. What a match !! Congrats to the Windies. The chain of events have been exactly what I wanted after India went out.

    India v India A in a 4-day warmup

    The mainline Mumbai players were not picked in these squads because Mumbai plays Australia before the first test anyway at Brabourne Stadium where Salvi, Powar and those guys will get a chance to show their skills.

    Now, SA threatens to cancel India tour

    Police work is not bound by any cricket.Does police work take into account a person's personal issues...like "I gotta work and make money now, talk to me later" type attitude. That's never the case and never should be. Anyway, it is very unlikely that the Delhi police will do anything. But the...

    Why Pakistan is so "Unpredictable"??

    I feel that one of the reasons for the unpredictability of Pakistan from the 90s onwards is due to the number of internal disputes within the team. Earlier, it was the Akram versus Waqar and many more such pairings in the team of the 90s. Now there is the Shoaib versus Inzamman to an extent...

    Now, SA threatens to cancel India tour

    whatever it is, these guys have no right to ask for such immunity from judicial and normal police work. they are as much liable to cooperate in any police investigation on any matter as everyone else and if the cops were to have a need to question them, they should be able to......although i...

    Now, SA threatens to cancel India tour

    This is absolute madness. How can the cricket board grant legal immunity on behalf of the cops ? This is a very unreasonable demand by Nicky Boje and Gibbs and if the SA board and other players back them, its going to be one hell of a mess.

    How come...

    Hmmm...I guess you were so engrossed in those arguments with TEC that never got a chance to look at his signature.

    How come...

    Well, I guess there are the theorists who want to create an algebraic equation for everything including this game of ours and then there are the ones who watch the universe (and the game) and see and form their opinions. Not sure which one is correct but I prefer the latter given the phrase...
