Strike 2 ? (by worma)

As soon as the 'leak' of email came out, my opinion had been that this doesn't look like GC vs SG anymore. And therefore the core members of the team need to sit down and discuss it together, sans GC and SG, and probably moderated by Sunny, Shastri etc since they can take those opinions and recommendations to the review committee as well.

And now it does seem that all's not well in the dressing rooms. Read here , here, and here. And in this one, Bhajji is the first player to openly speak out on this issue.

Right...all that on what 'should' happen, and here's what more likely to happen. JD may actually be right this time! If this email did come before the second test, and if the so called 'truce' was brokered on top of the knowledge gained from this, then there are chances that it may still partially hold, with some additional compromises thrown in for all parties.

Meanwhile, on a different note, Harsha, in his latest article, is visibly disappointed at the sorry state of affairs in Indian cricket administration. Here's a warning shot at us fans

Oh, and meanwhile, there is the issue of television rights to sort out. I can tell you already that you cannot get a genuine world class telecast for the matches starting October 25. There isn’t enough time for it.

So for heaven’s sake don’t ask why the coverage of the Ashes looked so much better. Channel 4 had a year to plan their first telecast, Sky Sports have a year to think about the tests next year, Channel 9 have had their contract extended well before the earlier one ended.

We have a year to go before the next juicy, terrible, election.
