Can you please ask this reporter to write the language which is modern, active and commensurate to the topic. This reporter writes "pavlovian response" (sic!)in a sports reporting. Perhaps, this individual thinks in Hindi and translates into English! Our reporters have this style in Hindi and possibly, this individual is attempting to make English reporting look like Hindi! Or, you sample a piece of his writing in quote."With Inzamam and Afridi playing immovable object and irresistible force and--" I do not know whether such absolutely mistaken writing provides good picture of rediff reporters!
Dear Prem, Why cant you write straight instead of writing all those fancy words and lines. Just try to cut short the crap and bakwaasbaazi and concentrate to write straight forward about cricket.
Everyone woke up today morning to the surprise package of the Indian team composition. Ganguly has been dropped to accommodate an additional bowler. While the decision to include RP Singh was justifiable, the decision to include two spinners is lopsided on a pitch, which is not expected to turn. After all, India has three players in Sachin, Sehwag and Yuvraj, who can bowl decently. Including Harbhajan was no masterstroke as proved by his bowling statistics on the first day.
The decision to drop Ganguly is really inexplicable. After if he has been selected after all this controversy, he should have been given a chance to play atleast two tests and prove or otherwise his form. No way to treat a player and an ex-captain. I think we have forgotten the basic tenets of decency.
Dravid needs to maintain some level of consistency in his field placement, without changing it too often, as proved by some would have been catches, had the fielder being placed in the right place.
It was also pathetic the way Kumble ducked at a likely catch off the first ball of RP singh-speaks great volumes of the improvement in our fielding-he should watch a few video clips of Australian fielders
