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...?

are we gonna see last of them...together?
little did i knew that i will be using this phrase so quickly just after my previous post...couple of days ago...but
this news at toi has forced me to use it again...
so guys go get it...get your swan song ready...
ah...i know cricket songs are very rare but we have got talent as well as songs for every occasion in india...don't we?
let me introduce you to gaurav of
naked cricket...and
these are his offerings...i bet you will fall over it...to say the least...
emmm...nuff of pleasantries exchanged...coming to business end of this news...
The BCCI has already made its stand clear, saying that the senior players should approach the Board with their future plans so that they can be accorded an honorable farewell.
and this part
For example, if a player wants to be considered for the next two series (vs Australia and England), he will have to formally intimate the BCCI that he would quit after that.
It will be subsequently made public. The selectors will then draw up a plan to groom his replacement to ensure that the transition is smooth.
the first few expressions which came to my mind after i read this news were...why this should be made public at all? are they putting indirect (or direct) pressure on our seniors by using media as platform? can't they find any guy with bit of gut to call them (read bell them)...or sit with them to have one on one...?
i don't have problem with...that knowing their future plans they will groom certain set of players which they deem fit as their reasonable replacements...
i don't even have any problem with management planning their farewell...befitting their stature and the services they rendered...and i sincerely believe...without an iota of doubt that......if we are treated as some force in world stage...most of that credit should go to them...
but what you get in return...this media trial?
its one thing criticizing them for their performances (or non performances) and its another thing altogether to make the mockery of them and subject their integrity to this trial...
what's your first thoughts when you read this news...
am interested...
