Ok this meaningless series that no one is interested in watching is being hyped up so that people might tune in. But the fact is that even though usually Sri lankans punch above their wieght, they are plainly put, mediocre. They play in favourable conditions and they play against alot of bad teams. Still not even in the top 3 test teams. They have no talent like indians and usually lose to Pakistan in big matches. The fact is they are still sidekiicks to indians and they should recognize their place. Also their win in 1996 WC was a fluke as their team went on to prove. By the team 1999 WC cam about no one took them seriously. I still remember how their tape recordings came out right after the WC in Singapor Tournament in 1996, where Jay'sria scored fastest century of that time and thy still lost. Sorry no respect for them. However the team that played 200 WC looked more professional and thorough. But it is not our duty to play with them and help them improve. India should play Eng , S Africa, NZL Aus more often. Enough of playing with Pakis and Sri lankans.
vengsarkar complained to bcci abt kumble's comments that kumble put his foot down when as capt, he was asked to do away with second keeper n get the service of dravid as the emergency keeper. vengi angry with anil has complained to bcci.
now recall the incident where vengi himself as chairman of selection committee, during team selection of the odi world cup in wi, stated abt non-inclusion of viru but he was taken at the behest of capt dravid. that time, vengi himself was responsible of leaking the selection secrets to media. now he himself blaming kumble abt 2 keepers' issue.
The respective cricket boards mostly don't handle the players properly.(Eg: Zimbabwe cricket crisis, WI crisis few years back). Bcoz of this the players look for more better options. Its all due to the bad management of players by the respective boards. Strict measures should be taken so that, if either the players or the board are doing bad things, they should be taken to task.
