Captain "Karunguly"

One word to describle the axing of a "batting alrounder" - Rubbish (read it the way Geoff Boycott pronounces it..summa thaan...just for a punch). Including a player as "batting alrounder" itself was "dubaakoor velai". The term "batting alrounder" reminds me of "Deferred Live" made famous by whoelse?? DD! Still better was "deferred live ka seedha prasaran" during 2002 football WC ;-)

Captain "Karunguly" as he is affectionately called by Lollu Brothers has just played 2 good innings and saved nearly 10 runs while fielding at mid-on. No marks to anyone saying hez been made a victim of board politics. This is not the way you treat a player, leave alone the tag-lines "most successful captain" or whatever.

Hey guys.. come on... India is a happening place. Batting alrounder being replaced by a batsman at the expense of one Mr.Zaheer Khan who has been just outstanding in Ranji Trophy, captain "Karunguly" getting a place in test team while the shorter version of the game is his stronghold, retaining winning combination for one-day games while disturbing the winning combination for the test matches..... it all happens... only in India courtesy dirty administrators, or rather, a bunch of jokers belonging to a body called BCCI.

As Calcutta went berserk burning effigies of More and slapping it with sticks and slippers while it was burning, I could only say "podra.. nalla pottu medhi da avana". I feel sorry for you Sourav. But I am happy you were removed rather than being made to carry drinks. Dada, pls comeback with a bang. My prayers for that

The selectors are real puppets, rather "Rubber Stamps" - what a wonderful term Navjot Sidhu has coined for the underachieved (they say they get only TA), degenerated losers! The reason they have given for his exclusion - height of stupidity.

I will finish with the Quote of the day.

"There are two things that are abundant in this world. Hydrogen and Stupidity. Unless somebody utters something stupid, the world is a very dull place to live in" - Navjot Sidhu

Agree. Agree. Agree.

Though I didn't welcome Ganguly's inclusion into the squad, I must say I find his exclusion shocking and ugly.

And the quote was superb. As Aani has said, touché!
