Today's story (by worma)

Here is what Sanjay Manjreker has to say on 'the issue'...this portion is the theme of his opinion

For me, this difficult choice that they have to make, is not so much between two people as it is between two ways to go ahead in Indian cricket.

..but before choosing, those in the say must also heed to this:

Coming back to the current issue, before the decision is made, the BCCI will surely talk to Chappell and Ganguly and if after that, they feel they need to go the Chappell way, it’s important they also find out whether the rest of the team and not only the new captain is ready to go the Chappell way.

For, you are talking of those players who found much of their success the Ganguly way.

Peter Roebuck also has a look at the controversy, and has advice for sides.

Meanwhile, there's even a leak of the questions that the committee is supposedly going to put up to GC and SG!

This story, in HT, gives a list of names supposedly on 'one side' and this one carries Bhajji's explanation on what he 'actually' meant, while giving statement in support of SG(and supposedly against GC)

Meanwhile, news doing the rounds that the dices are getting loaded in favour of SG, for the review meeting. Calling up the tour manager, who has already started giving statements refuting GC's claims, is one of them. Ahh...looks like big mess-up coming up.


A personal note, there would be a week-long blogging hiatus from my side...am on 'vacation' as they say here (yes in my part of the world they do have it!). Anyways...will keep a close eye on the 'news' around the showdown....and may the 'best' side win :-)

update : Do read this piece from Rahul Bhattacharya on the current situation. So far, probably the most balanced analysis of all the issues.
