All glory to Pandey

Whatever Dhoni may say his body language when he came to bat today was pathetic. It looked like he had already decided that this match also would be lost. The Required run rate which was 6.12 or so when he came to bat rose to 8.52, which shows his contribution. But for the determined show put up by Pandey, it would have been a whitewash.

Pandey deserves all the credit for today's victory. I do not what is wrong with Dhoni His body language when he came to bat today was pathetic. It looked like he had already decided that this match also would be lost. The Required run rate which was 6.12 or so when he came to bat rose to 8.52, which shows his contribution. But for the determined show put up by Pandey, it would have been a whitewash.

Indian team can win matches only when they stop selecting players based on whims and fancies of captain and selectors. Today, selection is done by selectors & captains wherein they have no explanation for selecting or for dropping players, which reeks of corruption, nepotism, shamelessness, dirty attitudes and selfishness. Indian team is bound to fail in matches as long as a proper, ratings based selection of players is not done. Currently, there is no justification to why any player is selected or dropped. Players who are in good terms with captain & head of selection committee get selected. Karnataka won Ranji trophy for 2 consecutive years. It was shocking to see that not even one player from Karnataka enjoyed a stint in the Indian team's playing 11. Selection of Indian team is currently happening with the logic of catering to whims & fancies of egoistic selectors including captain. There is no logic at all. Sad part of Indian sports is that there is no algorithmic rating system in place to select teams for any sport in India. As long as the dirty game of politics in sports exists, Indian sports and sportspersons have a bleak future. Why can't selection be based on a ratings system designed to rate performance of players in various conditions that would finally lead to selection of top rated players for appropriate matches? Top performers get sidelined and 3rd class players get selected if they are close to selectors/captains or businesses that these crooks hol
