Players from Bihar do not get opportunity

Its good that Dhoni has created in Vizag.He smashed Paki bowlers to create an impression.Thanks to great knock of 148 otherwise he would have been replaced by now.Biharis are expected to excel , always give 200%.Rather than delving too much into conspiracy theory.I will say that when people from Bihar are selected into team , there is always an element of doubt.As history is not with Bihar.I have heard commentary when Ramesh Saxena and Daljit Singh were playing for East Zone team against visiting West Indian team of Allwyn Kallicharan.In short innings of 84 Ramesh Saxena struck 5 sixes.That was era of Karry Packer and Bihar had elements of ODI's.Unfortunate part of Indian Cricket is that it never looked eastwards.Daljit Singh was better wicket Keeper and much superior batsman than SMH Kirmani but was always overlooked.Having done many things wrong , Mr Dalmia brought Cricketers from East into limelight.Otherwise fate would not have very different for SS Das or Mohanty. Sunil Singh , Randhir Singh , Avinash Kumar got into team but were not given opportunity , not even to play practise match.
Dhoni has right temperament.He should not get carried away by media reports. Best wishes.
