Laxman and Tendulkar

LAxman always played under pressure - on tough pitches where he would get a chance to bat long because the top order invariably failed.

We take very fast decision in removing Azharuddin and put him in cricket winderness and when a situation has come to give him his rightful place we are hesitant to take decision. At the same time we lack courage to take decision in respect of Sachin.

Vishy - Azahara-VVS are artist - rest are craftsman
by sudip majumder on Dec 13, 2012 01:10 PM

There would never be another Vishy, another Azahar, another VVS. They are the artist. rest are all craftsman of various hues. Only David Gower and Zaheer Abbas could be compared with them. Surely Artisans will always loose to the industrialists

Sachin -Dhoni

Both Sachin and Dhoni should be thrown out of Indian team once and for all .Sachin is a totally shameless person as he is not letting desrvin youngsters like Tiwary , Rayudu , Rohit Sharma come in the team . Sachin is playing only for records . He has hardly scored in last 2 years and still is enjoying a regular spot in the team . The BCCI should demote him to Contract D i.e the lowest category . He himself will retire then , for sure . N. Srinivasan should also be shown the door now . Harsha Bhogle should head the BCCI as president . He has got a great understanding of Indian Cricket .He is also possessed with a management degreee from a premier institute .

Different yardsticks

I remember that the same author himself was extremely critical about one other Indian cricketing hero named Sourav Ganguly in the mid of 2005. I believe he too had different yardsticks for different cricketing heroes. Or may be he didn't consider Sourav a cricket hero at all.
