Take it easy, guys. We have all endured an over dose of Mumbaikaars (Agarkar, Kambli, Manjrekar) when we had Mumbai selectors and Karnataka players (Dodda Ganesh, V Prasad) during Karnataka selectors. Its the rule and not the exception. Now, we a Tamil BCCI chairman, a Tamil chairman of selection panel and a national captain who is pretty much a Chennai boy. There WILL be bais towards Chennai. Dont waste your breath cursing it. Learn to swallow it. In any case, its this chairman, selector and captain who won the world cup for India and took us to the top slot in test ranking, so I guess they are doing a much better job than many of their predecessor.

1) SRT 136 vs pak is better thn Lara’s 153 vs aus. * SRT’s 136 out of 258 i.e 52% Lara’s 153 out of 311 i.e 49% * next top scorers frm India ws mongia (52) n thn 10 frm dravid next top scorers frm WI wr 38, 35, 33 * tailenders (joshi, kumble, srnath, prasad) scored 10 runs, tailender ambrose scored 12 runs
if SRT hd got support frm others which Lara got, team wud hv won. FYI SRT is the ONLY PLAYER who is in best odi n test batsman list that too at no.2.
2) A player usually gets man of the match whn team wins, kallis, akram, ponting team won more matches thn India so they got more awards, BTW why did u not mention SRT’s highest MOM in ODI’s ?
3) his average is not good against mcgrath, akram, Donald so acc. To u only these 3 are best bowlers bt u conveniently forgot lee, gillespie, warne, akhtar, younis,saqlain, vettory, caddick, vaas, murli, steyn, pollock and many more who r great bowlers.
SRT hs been compared right frm Don Bradman (1930’s) to Desilwa, Lara, Jayasuriya, Anwar, Inzimam, Mark/ Steve Waugh (1990’s) to Dravid, Kallis, Ponting, Sangakkara (2000’s) bt all these players hv never been compared to each other. Everyone is compared to SRT bcz SRT bashers also know that everyone is compared with the BEST n SRT is the best...

If he is so best,Why Wisden chooses Kapil dev over Tendu for Indian Cricketer of the Century.??
1) Sachin played for his personal records from the beginning at the cost of the team ( ie. the team looses when Sachin is the best performer) 2)Sachin never had champion's attitude 3) had problems against high quality bowling attacks all through his career 4)Values his hindreds more than team chievement 5)Never had any memorable innings. Has gotten only lousy useless knocks. 6)Begged his colleagues to win a world cup as he could not. 7)even after plyaing for over 20 years still does not retire from oneday cricket and does not give opportunities to youngsters. 8) claimed that oneday cricket be stoped and made into a two innigs 25 over game fearing that someone will over take his hundred's tally 9)Throught 90s what was india's performance inspite of a good team and sachin's presence in the team? Only after players such as Sehwag, laxman, dravid, Ganguly came in did india started performing well 10)Sachin has misused the popularity innocent Indians have on him to make his personal records. imagin Sachin playing these knocks in australia, He would have been kicked out of the team long back. Why Sachin is being hailed 1) he is from mumbai 2) There is huge money invested on him by corporates in the form of advertisements who want to promote him ( media promotes him saying he is the greatest player) while he is nowhere close to players such as gavaskar,Viv, Malcolm Marshal, Wasim Akram and many others 3)our corruption friendly country Like people like him

Well said. We lost the Adelaide test 100% becoz of Kohli.... :) He's very selfish; as rightly pointed out by your Point number 1. and 4. Also, I noticed that Dhoni had to beg 10 other Indians to win the World Cup for him. He was afraid to face the opposition by himself... :) So you make an excellent point no. 6 against the so-called Best Captain .. Point 7. should be a lesson for Umesh Yadav who doesn't retire from One days even after playing a full series. There are so many - as you rightly pointed out - youngsters and Yadav doesn't give them opportunities by recommending them to selectors... Point 8. is an excellent one. It shows how much "intelligence" you've got about Cricket... :) Point 9. again proves that Brian Lara is world's worst cricketer... right? :) Even Ravindra Jadeja and Harbhajan Singh are better batsmen than Lara - no? :) Point 10. you are an "innocent Indian"? I thought you were a "super intelligent" Indian who puts his IQ on full displays on this forum..
BTW, 1) Ratan Tata lives in Mumbai. 2) Dhoni is being promoted more by corporations. Which means Dhoni is the most selfish player born on the face of earth - as per your logic. 3) Our Corruption friendly country Like people also like Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam and Mother Teresa. So kindly explain what are you trying to prove by your "super intelligent" logic... :)

First Rediff should change the photos and use new ones to bring freshness. The first photo in this article showing MSDs face is very boring. You cannot serve same food for both marriage and death ceremony. Its very irritating to see same dirty face of MSD for all types of Cricket articles.

dhoni is doing correct by sidelining seniors by telling he wants to give youngsters chance that will play in wc 2014. but he also keeps on taking raina, ashwin which is causing burden.
