this should be the anthem of media...
they have forced often restrained and a man of stature like kumble to urge to show some respect towards seniors...
"We don't mind the scrutiny. If it's done rubbishly, and the way it's being portrayed, it hurts. If it's respectful it doesn't matter; everybody is scrutinised."
Anil Kumble lays down some media guidelines
look at the tone of foot note...anil kumble lays down some media guidelines...
that's some arrogance...to put it mildly...
bcci did what they wanted to...to create a reasonable platform of acceptance if they have to 'drop' any of the senior...and an indirect reminder for which they didn't had guts to put it directly to them...
to put it simply they used the media for it...
but what the hell media...thinking...while lapping up on it...
in their quest to have good trp they are falling on each other like anything...
what they don't understand is that we are not fools and this only alienate us from them...?
i sincerely believe that even a layman cricket fan don't believe in their sensational cricket reports these days...nobody with semblance of relation with brain...follows their what they call 'cricket analysis'...if some follows...i am sure its for comedy aspect of it...
what they don't understand in haste to air their opinions that it will do them world of good if they do it with some sanity...some responsibility...that if they put some mind into it which makes some sense they will automatically win over their target audience...
we that is...
and its not rocket science either...
but i guess they don't have time for it...in order to get some cheap eye-balls they are willing to stoop to any level...
it remembers me one of the siddhu quote...let me re-phrase it for you...
This media is like bicycles in a cycle stand one falls and the entire row falls!
on another hand a question is coming to my mind...
now, suppose if one of the senior retires after oz series...willingly...
will his decision be respected in same way?
who are we to snatch the right and dignity of that decision from them...?
