And from our own land(-worma)

Here comes the next twist in the BCCI tale...the Supreme Court has asked the concerned parties (within BCCI..and member clubs etc) to sort out the differences and chose a non-judicial observer for the polls. So JD's winning move of last time...already quashed. Whats he gonna come up next...wait and watch :-)

And here is an interview from the other 'camp' contender...Sharad Pawar...read it yourself and judge what's he got in store for us.

In other news..Kambli looking for the captaincy of Mumbai team...and even a chance to get back into Indian team!...Ahh well...anyway its good to see him healthy and back to his 'normal' self again :-)

  • mau tor: aren't you mixing test cricket with ODIs? So which 'talented youngster' got a test callup without proving himself in domestic games?...as far as I recall...it is Pathan(good find)....Yuv(good find...century and half-century in first two tests in Pak!)...Sehwag(good find...test century on debut...although he had established in ODIs)...Parthiv(mix bag)...Kaif(when he got his test debut he was doing well in domestic, if I recall correctly)...

    ..so i dont see your point? The Rainas and Raos are being tried in ODIs...which is a totally different issue..since there is no domestic structure of ODIs to judge them in..

    i agree with u abt the youngsters. however i do feel that ppl like yuvi kaif etal have a responsbility to play domestic cricket as much as possible. why on earth are they not playing the irani trophy ? for that matter why on earth are VVS, SG, Pathan, Zaheer, HS etal not playing ?? DO they find it below their dignity ? Are they already exhausted so early in the season ? This is just preposterous ! How do u expect the other players to prove themselves if they do not het the opportunity to play with the best in the country ? then if they do well we say indian domestic cricket is of no value bcoz the top players dont play !! whos fault is it that the top players dont play ?

  • the rational mind: I think they are not playing because they have such a busy season...that any rest is most welcome. This is a common complaint around the world...that the national players dont play enough domestic games..for the same reason of getting as much rest as possible...and in India the amount of international cricket played is probably amongst the highest...so I dont blame them.

    Sure...if there are enough breaks...and if they do want to fine tune their skills....or if their state teams need them desperately..then they should play (and they do)...but otherwise I can see that the main fault is not with them.

    Yes it is hard for the others in domestic curcuit...since they are not judged in as much good competition as possible....but thats the way it is...I dont see a way out...unless the amount of international cricket is reduced (btw, check out that Bob Simpson article I posted...same problem in Aus also!)
