Indian Cricket team captain Rahul Dravid offered worship to the lord of Seven Hill on Saturday after waiting in queue for around 45 minutes. The TTD was criticized from several quarters over the VVIP treatment accorded to the newly-wed film stars Abhishek Bachchan and Aishwarya Rai last month.
Tirumala Tirupati Devasthanam (TTD), which manages the temple, had recently imposed a ban on providing free VVIP treatment to non-protocol visitors like cricketers and film stars. Dravid and his family had to purchase VIP tickets of Rs 500 each to have darshan of the Lord yesterday.
They had to wait in the queue for about 45 minutes for the darshan, temple sources told. But TTD officials ensured that Dravid and his family members had a comfortable stay at the temple town. "They were provided a good paid guesthouse," the sources said.
POLITICIANS WITH NO RECORD OF HUMANITY, WERE GIVEN VVIP STATUS WHERE AS NATIONAL STAR CRICKETERS LIKE DRAVID WERE ILL TREATED. OFCOURSE GOD'S BLESSING WERE WITH HIM ANY HOW, BUT IS IT NOT SHAME TO INSULT LIKE THIS TO WOULD BE RAJIV KHELRATNA OF INDIA. FIRST OF ALL TTD CONTRO MUST BE TAKEN OUT OF THE HANDS OF STATE GOVERNMENT AND IT SHOUD BE HANDED OVER TO VHP OR RSS WHO WERE MORE DEVOTE TOWARDS HINDUISM AND HINDUS.
A NATIONAL AGITATION TO PROTECT LORD BALAJI FROM THE HANDS OF WICKED POLITICIANS IS IN NEED. SONIA GANDHI WAS GIVEN VVIP TREATMENT WITH CM ACCOMPANYING HER. WHERE AMITABH WAS GIVEN IT IS QUESTIONED. IT IS NATIONAL SHAME.
You are Bowlers men and not batsmen!!! so when you make wrong move, you have another chance, but no worry on the Hitters....
Bowlers must be equally respected, they are not low profile, its the bowlers who win the Game when chasing and the GREAT Sir. Sobers always says "Let the other side set a target and Chase" so he trust his team and his team was too strong for anyone in those days...
Now, Bowlers need their due respect, Over stepping a Run and an Extra delivery?? so if it happens to be an Excellent delivery? and breaks all 3 Sachin Stumps? so the bowler is fool?
Level playing is needed ICC... Who gave you name "Speed" ICC Chief!!! prefer you change to Mr. M(Mindless) S(Slow).
the newly proposed rule again favours the batsmen.i think they should introduce a "over-stepping" rule ie the bowler can over-step to a certain degree for max 10 balls a match.
That's a silly rule ! It's already a boring batsman dominated game these days, this'll make it more so... How about one ball from each end throughout the 50 overs ? That might restore the balance somehwat...

I expressed the same in my previous comment. If ICC/BCCI is not hearing this, let us forward this to Zee.
