So many good players like W.V.raman, Robin Singh, Sharath, T.Kumaran, Badrinath, Hemang Badani were not given recognition/chance due to dirty politics by cricket selectors. Robin singh if given more chance would have defiantly overtaken all sachins records. But even at the age of 37 robin singh played like a lion.

Badrinath is probably the only one who can be considered really unlucky considering the extraordinary talent the guy posesses and consistent performance..
Robin Singh and WV Raman got enough chances and they made enough contributions as well..
Its not just dirty politics all the time. There are just too many players.
Congrats Badri & Team u guys did it, would love to see you play for India....Test u deserve to be there buddy..all the best for T-20 & IPL see u in hyderabad --- Sailesh

Then how Murali Vijay is getting so many chances ?
No disrespect to anyone. But it is very hard to get chance in the Indian team as a batsman. Gambhir has done well in South Africa, so it is not easy to drop him.

This is about cricket, not regions. Get over your parochialism. FYI, I'm "south-indian".

Because the original poster wasn't cheering the south zone cricket team. He's clearly being jingoistic, if you will, about the south zone team winning. That's the difference. I'm not a moron. :) You're a fool to not see the obvious. Quit the name calling, you degenerate schmuck.

This is in reply to Siddaraju Boregowda. Not sure why rediff found your message objectionable but I can reply only here. here goes: This is only about cricket. No need for chest-beating regionalism. It diverts attention from the actual subjects - the game and the players. FYI, the south team also has some players of north-indian descent. And while your point about the south as an entity is perfectly valid, it does not concern a south-zone cricket team. As for the trains, again, they've nothing to do with cricket. Except that those very trains probably brought those north-indian players who play in the south now. :) Make no mistake, I'm a proud south-indian too. But I do not condone jingoism. And going by your analogy, south-india is a misnomer. There should only be state teams, no zonal teams. Oh and...I'm from Bangalore. Been here over 20 years. Rest assured I'm free of hindi propaganda, bro. :)
