Why this much hoopla over IPL?

Due to the lack of para-military forces, security was declined for the IPL matches and the govt asked the IPL organisers to postpone the matches.But the board members were reluctant for the procrastination(Since the dates wud clash with international matches.)and shifted the venue to South Africa.With this kinda scenario its needless to say how the parties will do their maximum efforts in politicising the issue for their political gains Esp.When  the elections are round the corner.Adding to this IPL organisers too expressed their disappointment over the rejection of security.And everyone created a scene as if conducting IPL matches in the subcontinent is a matter of  national pride.Claiming security for 52 matches in the midst of Gen.Elecs is not an easy thing.(Even the Gen.Elecs are conducted in multiple phases jus coz of the lack of numbers in police forces.)To be more precise its not even a much significant World cup or Asian games which involves many countries,so that to seek for para-military forces.Then why this much fuss for a Local County cricket tournament? This IPL episode clearly shows cricket in India taking too much privilege over other sports.What will happen if the IPL matches are conducted frequently in the coming years? Do the security people don’t have any other job than guarding these over hyped county tournaments?

Steyn Stains the Indian Dressing Room.

An Ardent Fan Of Pace Bowling since my School Days.My All Time Favts.

• Ambrose.(Irreplaceable for another four or five decades Esp.in Giving RPO.)
• Walsh.(True Legend both in Pace as well as in Attitude.Eg.1992 World Cup Match Against Pak.)
• Akram.(Likes his Aggressiveness both in Batting and Bowling and the way he bowls is simply great to see.)

Barring these I can’t enjoy the Current Scenario Of Pace Bowling.Esp After T20 came out the most Pathetic is the fate Of Pacers.Still a Gem shines,a Star is Born,a sandwich of both Ambrose and Akram.Its Great to Watch his Bowling Sorry Firing. a Lethal Missile..

Dale Steyn who rocked the Poor Indian Batting Line up into Pieces….

Wow !!!! One of my greatest moment in my life seeing Men in Blue Tearing Apart by a Single Macho Man which ended the match in mere three days.Actually am following this guy for the past five to six months.Though i haven’t seen much of his action i was eagerly expecting him in the sub continent.But never expected this kinda terrific (Thanks Ravi Shastri) Performance. Said to one Of My Friend about Steyn before the Indo-Proteas Tour.But he rubbished the chances of shining in the Indian Lifeless Pitches.Now its Lifeless For Men in Blue.Steyn this guy has an amazing future.

Why I hate the Men in Blue to the core from my Childhood Days.Reasons ?

• An admirer of West Indies from my First Std.
• A Fanatic Of Prince Lara.(Even i can’t digest the Caribbeans Victory in any match if my prince doesn’t scores in it.)
• Comparing Sachin with my Prince.(Even I Can’t tolerate Comparing my Prince with Bradman then how with a little master ?)

Kangaroo Curry In the Laxman Pan.

Still Remembering the Words Uttered By Mcgrath a few Years Ago:

“If Dravid Gets Out Its Good,If Sachin Goes Out Its Great!!!

But If Laxman Departs Its Miracle!!!!..”

Hahaha Its Damn True!!! On Seeing Today’s Play…

Laxman Thorn Once Again Pricked in the Aussies Flesh…Thanks To Mitchell Johnson for his Contributions.

But IMO Laxman..The Most UnLucky Guy in the Indian Team Sorry Team India….

• Haven’t Given a Chance to Play in a Single World Cup.(Even D.Mongia,Uthappa Found up a Place in the Eleven Laxman Can’t)

• Frequently Axed From the Team India Without any Major Reasons In ODI.

• After T20 Championship Uthappa Got the Cash Prize from Both Kerala And Karnataka(Since Uthappa’s Mother was From Kerala!!!)..But Till now Laxman haven’t Got the Proper Recognition Even from his own state itself.

Laxman!!! A Perfect Scapegoat in the BCCI’s Politics..

Great Wall Of India.

The Worst Ever Punishment to Any Bowler…

To Bowl Against Jammy…

First Innings:5(66) .

Second Innings:16(114).

Prince Of Mumbai.

With his Counterparts(Sachin,Saurav,Dravid,Ponting,Yousuf,Akthar) Settling In IPL,Lara in ICL?

Singam Singleaaaaathaaaaaaaaaaaan Varum!!!.

Indian Cricket League.

Those who don’t have any idea about ICL. Plz go thru the Link:ICL

Thank God!!! Finally the day has come for the end Of BCCI’s Monopoly.The Stage is Set For ICL’s First T20 CUP.This is the day am longing for many years.But i never thought that it would happen in 2007 through the formation Of ICL.Hats Off to Kapil & Co. for such a daring Move against BCCI.

BCCI Sorry BPCI.(Board Of Politics for Cricket in India) Which Politicizes each and Every issue just for Money Spinning.. (Instead of improving the Quality Of Cricket) deserves this Doosrah From ICL.The Main thing i cant tolerate is the Height Of Politics Prevailing in the Player’s Selection.As a Result many Talented Cricketers still cant able to find up a place in the Indian Team.Some of the Players Sacked even after Good Perfomance.For them ICL comes as a Great Relief to Show up their Talents.

Missing Players In ODI:

1.Hemang Badani:An Aggressive Left-Hander axed suddenly without finding any reason,even after performing Well.

2.Aashish Nehra:Top Performer from the Indian Side in 03 World Cup.Far better than Zaheer Khan,Munaf Patel,Agarkar in Pace,Swing Accuracy.But still denied a Chance.

3.VVS Laxman:Oh God!! What to Say The Most Unlucky Guy in India still now haven’t played in a Single World Cup.I cant understand the BCCI’s Policy in Filtering the Players for World Cup.How Dinesh Mongia In 2003,Uthappa in 2007(Picked suddenly as a Prize for his Scintillating knock against Windies) get the Nod From Selectors without any Major Effort?

In Tests:

1.Sadagoppan Ramesh: The Next Unlucky Guy after Laxman.Though he has Poor Foot work , his batting consistency remains better compared to current Openers.But haven’t given enough Opp.Poor Guy shifted his Gears to Kerala from tamilnadu,Even then cant able to find up a Place.With Rotating Wasim Jaffer,Gambhir,SS Das Why cant they give a Chance For Ramesh?

Even Now BCCI Banned(With the firm Support from ICC) all the Players who had joined the ICL and also taking necessary Steps to Prevent ICL from Hosting Matches in Cricket Stadiums(Which are State Govt.Controlled).As a Result ICL has to Host all the matches in Chandigarh.

In addition to that BCCI has started Operations to Kick Off their IPL(Indian Politics League Sorry Indian Premier League) by the next April 2008.

Now the Ball is in the Central Govt.’s Court.Unless the Govt take any Right Steps BCCI will keep On Playing Football with the Players.Eventually Where the Cricket is more than a Religion is loosing its Spirit and falling into the Trap Of Politics…
