ECB, we hope you have the will and courage to say no to this nonsensical request. Just flip the bird at Lalit Modi and say enough of this crap. Test cricket cannot suffer at the expense of this hit-and-forget tournament.
now you can hav this exaple that for a t20 final match BCCI want to change the date of an international Test Match. why don't IPL's champions league matches dates will hav to cancle, if you want to play a particluar player.. in both matches. same to BCCI
BCCI wants everything and gets everything if not they scream Racism headed by Sunil gavaskar the champion Hypocrite of all time... BCCI want ball tampering charge dropped against sachin even with evidence...Done BCCI wants steve bucknor kicked out...Done BCCI wants Bhajji let go for calling Symonds Monkey ... Done BCCI wants ICL to be discriminated against...Done Only one thing that BCCI will never get....guess what..that is Sachin Tendulkar to retire...hahahahaah BCCI wants Gambhir to be let go scott free...Not done..scream racism

Hi Sachin, A very apt comment. BCCI behaves like a medivel period Badshah and there is no limit to its impoliteness. I would be happy to see a day when the air is pulled out of their bags and they see the reality.

Yea thats exactly what i mean,Bullying at its best,this is been going on for almost a decade now.. Makes u wonder Who is the racist here? I mean if Steve Bucknor is removed then imagine how many matches India benefitted by umpires like AV Jayaprakash or that umpire who adjusted his hat on the way to changing his decision to give jadeja not out or so many other umpires who cheated to save us from defeat. In Srilanka Mendis bamboozled us and we lost,but guess what they said Referral system sucks,so BCCI got their way and its gone now,Gavaskar sits in ICC and comes up with some nonsense like Freehit for a noball,how stupid can it be and its DONE,cause it was Gavaskars idea... Pretty much Gavaskar and BCCI have totally ruined cricket for now..what they dont realise is everyones time comes and one day Gavaskar will be gone and Sachin too,then what happens to BCCI and their bullying ways,someone else is going to take over that as after Powerhouses like Sachin are gone where is the money gonna come in?

Hi Sachin,
I partly agree to what you say. However if you see the past history of atleast 50 years before BCCI's domination began, ECB and Cricket Australia were doing the same thing at a bigger magnitude. However the difference is that they do it under the aegis of ICC. If you actually observe for what Shane Watson has done, he should have got a bigger punishment and Broad has let him off. What Gambhir got is what he deserves, but in all fairness, Watson should have got a similar punishment. Has anybody rebuked Mc. Grath for what happened between him and Lara, Similarly lot has been said about Miandad but has anyone said anything Lillee. If you carefully observe Brett Lee has a arm asction wherein he chucks the ball sometimes but he was never clled for false action because he is from Australia.
Somone has to champion the matter of racism and thats what Gavaskar is doing. Thankless job no doubt but necessary to safeguard the interests of the subcontinent cricketers. There are somany greats like Kapil, Zaheer, Bedi, Imran but no one takes up the cause. Only Sunil does and instead of appreciating, you mock him, Thats a sorry state. You can understand the issue only if you are a cricketer and u face unfair action.
Besides what is wrong in showing the money power if you are contributing to 70% of ICC's revenues. There was money even before Sachin and it continues to be there. No one in this world is indispensible.

Sriram ur wrong,as per the rules Gambhir deserves bigger punishment,morally sledging is wrong,but tell me have indians never sledged,infact they sledge more than aussies these days,pretty much against every other team,so the rules states u cant get physical and gambir got banned rightly so u cant make rules as u go by,that is what sunil gavaskar wants,to suit us all the time u tell me has India ever asked for complete banning of sledging or any chit chat on the field,no we havent,only when our players get banned for getting physical do we scream racism y cant gambhir just sledge back or chat back and then lets see who gets banned do u remember what hayden did when zaheer khan ran around him?>he didnt hit him with a bat,he just gestured what the hell that was.... cant gambhir do that? is gambhir allowed to get physical just cause he is indian?no not at all.

Re: BCCI wants everything and gets everything

Yea Mera Bharat,think about it,Gavaskar is a sick psycho.he points out to David Hookes death to piss AUssies off,i mean comeon,if AUssies refer to Sidhu being a killer he will say Sidhu go kill Aussies as they hurt all Sikhs together. He gets plumb LBW to Lillee and asks his partner to go with him to Pavilion. If Gambhir elbows out Watson Gavaskar says the one who provokes needs to be punished,but u idiot thats not in the rule book,so he wants us to make rules as we go by or what? If Matty Hayden can walk back without reacting for Zaheers jibes why cant Gambhir just complain to umps for watson sledge? Tell me if u have ever seen Gavaskar( i mean ever)praise Lara or any contemporary great?Ull never hear him stop hailing Sachin(who is great no doubt,but i mean come on stop it Sunny) He says a aplayer should retire when he is in prime,but for Sachin he wants him to play till 2011 WCUP..i mean come on man...havent we had enough of Gavaskars nonsense,someone just ask him to get the hell out of India and go to his fav nation Pak who once he famously backed to win WCUP and had dinner there..lol...remember foreign currency found in his locker,till this day he hasnt answered where it came from..

Hahaha i knew some moron like u will come up with this the most idiotic defense in the whole world. Have u played cricket to defend Sunil Gavaskar? If to criticise him i need to play cricket to defend him u need to play too Just because u and ur family get free food from Sachins restaurant doesnt mean u should question my generations ability to play cricket u beggar...lol..
For eg.. if dhoni is not a member of Chennai Team and Flintoff or Peterson are playing for Chennai, BCCI will agree to postpone the test match. Why u guyz are making politics. IPL has started by copiying ICL and BCCI are saying they are rebels. Hey BCCI dont play dramatic games. All indians are watching, they will shut u. Its a "Bharat Cricket Council" Not a Board of Cricket Council.

Face it guys !All cricket boards vouch for their players and if they bring in moremoney they wud embrace the dollars than skill! Look at how Lalit Modi bullies players to honour their IPL contract than national duty! Face it guys..cricket is deteriorating with these guy at helm. Once India loses lots of 20-20 games see the enthusiasam wane off..Face it people who really do play cricket understand that 20-20 is slam bam cricket without any beauty ..of a bowlers line length swing!He just bowls to restrict..Play cricket to know cricket!No use being couch potatoes and munching on the chips and colas that blindly makes you all people addicts.It aint cool! U all are being taken for a Grand RIde! Pure Cricket with interference from politicians,bookies and dumb dummies like Shashank Manohar is teh rule of the day!

Take it easy dude. National duty? both are just a game of cricket. Though I love both forms, it is hard to believe one is a national duty vs the other is a conspiracy.
Chill out and enjoy the sport. Dont worry about pure cricket. Sport is a business and the more money making events will win in the long term.
I think Sourav should be back as Captain for this One off test as he only matches the grit and panache of Dhoni.Let it be a tribute match for Sourav!Its so obvious that BCCI wud dump him if he did not perform but time and again he shows he has it in him to go another two years as a batsman..
Re: Bring Sourav!
by Nihaal s on Nov 18, 2008 03:12 AM
Duh!!WOke up..Sourav hain?Kambli?Jadeja?not even Prabhakar! Ok fine lets settle for Bhaskar Pillay!

For once if laughed out loud when I read that! I like the sense of humor displayed by Nihaal!!!
BCCI should Pressurise Dhoni to play in Champions LEague instead of the awful test cricket. LEt Sehwag captain the test side in his absence and beat England 2-0
