Sreesanth in grade B Irfan in grade C .Bunch of jokers(whoever did it )Totally partisan I did not know clowns are graded better than cricketers

Abe Pranam... u are saying sreesanth as a clown .. just because he shows agression. . You certainly requires somebody like him who gives hi s heart oout and can give back in the same coin. Try to give respect. As Irfan is concerned his is a great cricketere .. but he is in grade C because he was out of Indian team for quite some time..Take a walk moron.. just remember sreesanth's spirited performance against aust. If Yuvi can get a crore for just 2 innings whyc cant sreesanth be in grade B
RE:Pathan n Uthappa

What agression? Has won any man of the match in 20/20 Does agression fetch wickets. Giving tough looks does not show agression Getting wickets boss Getting wickets U dont win matches with clownish agression.Does he think he is Dennis Lillee.TELL HIM TO BOWL AND TAKE WICKETS LIKE zaheer, rpsingh irfan AND AFTERWARDS HE CAN SHOW AGRESSION
RE:Pathan n Uthappa
by manoj kumar on Sep 28, 2007 01:38 PM
iam not at all discounting Irfanor any other pacer . Why , has sreesanth not got wickets ? Irfan was out from the team for almost one and a half years.

Manoj now u r analysing Good. What do our parents teachers say concentrate be focussed DOnot get disattracted is it not What is Sreesanth doing.He is a new comer what should he do ? focus Instead he is doing everything else How will he get wickets boss?
Despite winning 20-20 WC people are apprehensive how we would fare against Australia in ODI's. The problem with us not talent and capabilities for our players, but problem is to play the more deserving players into ODI's. Players like Rohit, Uttappa, Sehwag , need to playing in ODI's. But still we cannot accomodate them all same time.
Thanks to Tendulkar's recco he has had a career in cricket.
The selectors should make the senior players to own the responsiblities, that causes mediocrity in the team composition and also derailing the careers of others aspirants during the process.

Stop fighting like monkeys these grades are not decided on 20-20 or last eng tour..it is purel based on merit and entire year's performance..most of it is fair to me...Agarkar may have been out of form; but he still deserve at least in grade C..I am sure he will make yet another comeback when 1-2 get injured and we will have no seamer left to play in 11..
RE:Agarkar
by naveen chauhan on Sep 28, 2007 07:56 AM
He should be in Grade A, he has taken around 290 wickets in oneday cricket, he is the fastes 50 wickets taker in the one day cricket (for this effort he deserve 1 cr, like yuvraj six sixes), he is part of 20-20 word cup winning team, he is part of 50-50 over finalist team in 2003. What more people wants from one player, he is the player is requirement of one day team, very soon after lossing 3 or 4 matches against australia he will back in the Indian team.

He is only part of every winning team, when he sits a 12th man ... yes promote him to GRADE A or GRADE 12the man HaHHAHAHA
Has he done something due to which his team has won hahahah
players have been graded based on seniority rather than performance. Make grade a point based system with certain points for wickets, runs and responsibility (captaincy/ catches etc.) Leave a few discretionary points too. This way the system is fair. BTW, do you think Harbhajan and Irfan should swap grades. Also Wasim Jaffer should swap place with Robin Utthappa. Most/All the senior players should be lower grade till they perform.
RE:Grade look like seniority list..
by VOIndia on Sep 28, 2007 02:29 AM
I like the idea of discretionary points. BCCI and Pawar will use all their discretion in Agarkar those points so that he can quickly move to grade A
RE:Grade look like seniority list..
by Jay Veeru on Sep 28, 2007 02:39 AM
As opposed to 100% discretionary points that they have now! The selectors need discretionary points to try new players with no experience, hence no points. Plus they should be able to boot a player like Shoaib, who is a good performer but bad influence to the team. or someone who gets good point because he plays for points/records and not for the victory. Infact add some popularity points too, ie. other teammates assign you some points. Thus everyone will get along with everyone. Also award special points to captain for each victory, so that he can bust teammates balls to get the performance and won't care about popularity.

Why award advanced grading for 12 months. Give one flat rate to all (say 40 lakhs), and reward special performances on spot as they happen. Honest and fair to everyone, make it dynamic and challenging, leave past behind - rightly said by Dhoni. This will bring out the best of all players.
RE:Grade look like seniority list..
by selva on Sep 28, 2007 02:26 AM
Jay, u may be wrong stating the grades are based on experience. See where Agarkar is placed, as far as I remember, he was shining in 1997, its 2007, still in grade C. Also is this Viru... still on Grade B, while Yuvi is there in Grade A already!
So much has been given to Indian cricket team. I am happy with their achievements. But We should also recognise other sports. Hockey team putting so much effort won the Asia cup for second time. But that went unnoticed. Neither center not state Govt recognized their effort. It is sad that this single game is becoming a reason for other sports not getting anything.

I agree, I think BCCI has tons of money and they should take the initiative and sponsor other sports. Its about time cricket helps other sports
RE:By Kumar
by CricFan01 on Sep 28, 2007 02:54 AM
Why should BCCI help other sports? BCCI means Board of Control for Cricket in India. Why dont the other sports bodies take the initiatives and promote their respective games
RE:By Kumar
by coldkiller on Sep 28, 2007 03:08 AM
BCCI has kept aside 50 crores for unearthing talent in athletics. they are waiting for the respective federations to reply. i do not think BCCI will support other sports such as hockey and tennis which are direct rivals of cricket in India.

When did he speak Hindi! All his interviews are in English. He has spoken in English where required just like Hindi. I saw his interview on NDTV he spoke in English, even in the world cup he spoke in English to the best of his knowledge.
Tamil politics suck, stop dividing people in the name of Aryan and Dravidian, its been more than 10,000yrs since they settled, its too dam late, for that division. Try Muslim Hindu, you will get jailed.

Hi Gopal... its seemingly understandable that you belong to the south India, where people have an anti-feeling towards accepting Hindi as the National language... but all said and done... Hindi is our National Language... documented in the Constitutional guidelines... and you can't deny the truth... So, Dhoni, speaking in Hindi to the press-conference... is a moment to feel proud of... and there is no communal feeling (unlike the Madrassa driven Pakistani team)... Cheer up Gopal... accept the fact and stay happy...

With all respect to all Indian languages Marathi, Tamil, Bangali, Kannada are not National langugaes, but Hindi is and almost 44% public speakes.

hey Gopal!!.. surely..you are one of such an idoit!..no doubt about that.. Having said that..First..Be proud of Dhoni..who is speaking in his native language which refers to as mother tongue. and Who stops you to speak in your own language.. Let me tell you...without having a proper respect to your own language..you cannot reach anywhere...many great people recognised that fact.. Quite clearly you are one of those kind of people with whom, india soon may loose the originality.... Dhoni spoke in english in many interviews..and sometimes..he spoke in hindi..which is very good.... Learn how to respect your mothertongue..atleast from japanese people.. and I am totally a south indian..If you have any doubt. Also..40% people speak hindi..and rest of 60% do not speak any common lang...they all have different lang. Ok.. Stop writing these kind of comments..

You should come out of your ignorance - there are 22 national languages in India.
Does dravid speak in Kannada which is also a national language?
Does Ganguly speak in Bengali which is also a national language?
Does Sachin speak in Marathi which is also a national language?
Why is this uncouth bihari acting like those pakistanis who talk in urdu? He should act professional and not create rift in the team. He should stick to English so that no one feels slighted! Someone teach professionalism to this backward caste bihari!

There is one national language - Hindi. There is one national level official langugae - English. There are 22 scheduled languages.

Fool Gopal Krishna,
India has only one National Language and that is Hindi. If South Indians can't speak Hindi, it's their problem.These bloddy Southies hate anything and anybody outside Tamil, Kannada, kerala and AP. and hence they can never be part of mainstream.
RE:Dhoni, stop Hindi imposition
by amarendra kumar on Sep 28, 2007 02:01 AM
if you are a true indian,then you should tell 100% people should speak and understand Hindi whatever your regional language.Only one national language can bind you all indians.So understand the inmortance of one national language and one international language. Thousands of bolies and reginal languages can not make indians close.So dont politicize youself with mania that Hindi speaking is bad. No one is stoping you off speaking your mother tongue language ,but respect the Hindi,which in National Language.
If not go and see the world ,you will understand the importance of being a national language.
