Thanks Aruna M,
Thanks for stopping by.

BCCI believes a cover up is the right way to proceed.
I don’t think it is.

Everyone remembers the unfairness and injustice.
It will always be at the back of their minds
and is bound to affect performance.

The only way forwards is acknowledging mistakes
and taking concrete steps to prevent them in future.

I do not see it happeing.

with regard to yr comment that u cldnt find anybody who agreed with u, i wld say that i hv come across lots of them (read non-bengalis) who r ardent supportes of ganguly n really feel for him. The common man also supports him esp. after his fighting comeback. He truly has inspired.

I do agree with u though i feel ‘politics’ is a more suitable word than ‘dishonesty’. Yes, dravid is terribly insecured where ganguly is concerned. He was ok with sachin, but once sachin was made VC he felt insecured with him also though sachin is too big a name. Ganguly’s problem i feel he comes from Bangal n is unable to garner enuf support in the board for himself (dalmiya cld b another factor). I lost all respect for dravid ever since he kept his mouth shut when ganguly was dropped in dec 05 n allowed chappel n more to bad mouth him.

Thanks Aruna

I have been banging my head against the wall
for so many months now,
trying to find someone to agree with how I feel.

Atlast someone has done so.
I feel vindicated.

I loved my team, but not anymore.
I cannot associate with this team.
It is a team built on dishonesty.

The reason Sehwag is being supported
is to block an opening position
and the position of vice captain.

Dravid, by hook or by crook
wants to stop Ganguly becoming captain again.

Well written n appreciate the pains u took to put the entire story together. Though chappell has revealed his true colors, our own guy dravid is no less innocent. he is the kind of guy who doesnt want to get into any controversy n wld want to keep his captaincy at any cost. he was always the yes man to greg earlier n now to the Board. His kind of nature normally suits everybody around. Whereas ganguly was more forthright n frank n thus earned more enemies. Dravid’s blind support to sehwag also reeks of some politics, as he is not the guy to support anyone so openly. He might win against banladesh, but his captaincy will definitely be tested in other outside tours.
