Throwing away wickets ! Has it become a hobby or habit for our great batsmen?
by Dr . V . Ravindranath Reddy on Oct 30, 2004 02:05 PM

We have been noticing consistently that our GREAT TOP ORDER batsmen have acquired a recent fancy ... throw away the wickets and run to the pavilion in a hurry and keep cool under the shade rather than work little harder with a touch of patience and do proud to the country . This is the price we pay for their millions and millions of rupees contract they have with BCCCI who says the players do not represent India but BCCI ( that's what they said in the court of law , isn't it ? . If so it should be said that it is Australia v/s BCCI team but not India v/s Australia . When we can carry our players on our shoulders when they play well and praise them to heaven ( and they enjoyed it to the hilt then, mind you ) , we have equal right to be critical and dump them when they do not perform.

The top order were shown how to bat by the tail enders .I think may it is time that we reverse the order of batting if this thing goes on in future . Even the BCCI should be held responsible for this kind of pathetic performance , for they are the ones who have chosen the team and the y seem to be keen on earning Crores of rupees but have scany respect or regard for the nation's prid

Accurate sentiments of most Indian cricket fans. But is this the Indian team or the BCCI team?

CANN'T BE PROUD

We are the people of a country, where almost every child has played the game of cricket, and I think we have many potentials like those of Sachin, Rahul.

But neither we should feel proud nor should we be ashamed of losing the match through a team which is filled with politics and only corrupt people can survive through it.

Greats to Zeros

After hearing the defeat in Nagapur, I would suggest one thing about compensation to cricketrs..



It should not be like Grade A, B, C. It should be based on their performance in each match.

Our Grade A people like Sachin,Dravid, Laxman scored single digit runs in both innings..

Will they be good enough to pay Grade A pay now, event though Grade C people scored better runs..



Sachin, Dravid, Ganguly and Laxman makes that Indian cricket lost its crown ..
