Shastri thought it was media interview which generally gives. he does not politician like him never can face a real interview. Come on Shastri dont try to make fool every one
In your playing days you were never a friend of anybody, be it kapil or Azhar. Today you are here because of Sunil Gavaskar only not by your own merit. Neither you are a good batsman nor you a world class spinneror fielder. Ofcourse you are a good commentator. You know whom to polish better than anyone in cricket freternity. You don't have any guts to speak against Sachin Tendulkar because you know all mumbai cricket association will kick you out. You know better than anyone that Tendulkar does not likes you. He is always fond of Kumble, Dravid,Saurabh. You wait patiently ,certainly your time will come.Don't blame like a immature school girl yaar.
Ganguly allowed other two to select, if he was present he must given negative vote to shastri. So it was actually plus point for him, he want to put everything on ganguli.
Immature Shastri even though not direct but hinted that his non-selection is due to Ganguly. I wonder had Ganguly been present during his interview, what would have been Shastri's reaction?
Yes both of them are right and wrong. They are right when saying that they should be present in person for such an important meeting. In fact all that is both interview members and candidate should be present physically. That they were not means both were wrong. Whatever the outcome i am not convinced that the selection process was correct, since Kumble has no prior experiences at this level how was he shortlisted in the first place. I am not casting aspersions on any selector but i am saying that the procedure was wrong.
