You are absolutely right about that. I can give you more than one instance when Gavaskar's ego clashed with his arguments. <BR/><BR/>But my thrust was not on Gavaskar's personal attack.It was on theory and resposne of Bollywood.<BR/><BR/> Gavaskar punched Buchanan's cheek with his personal comments. I expected Buchanan to punch back and come to media to defend his 4 captain theory and slam Gavaskar's personal attacks. That would have been a sensible and fair approach. Everyone who understand the game would have enjoyed the clash between a great coach and a great player.<BR/><BR/>My question is then why did that idiot from bollywood come in front of camera when his job was to provide finances to experts in cricket as you said previously.<BR/><BR/>And besides that he didn't criticize Gavaskar's personal attack on Buchanan in front of media. What was he up to then?? <BR/><BR/>Criticizing 4 captains theory is acceptable to you and me. Why did SRK find it hard to swallow it since obviously he was not defending personal attacks on Buchanan. <BR/> <BR/>The essence of bollywood joker's commens was don't criticize 4 captains theory and if you are so upset about this theory then get your own team. <BR/><BR/> As I said before these jokers like SRK, Akshay Kumar, Preity Zinta and Shilpa Shetty are desperate to be on camera and their role should remain to be owner of teams rather than experts of cricket.Anil Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07185075142594811893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-35408823401781245212009-04-07T20:33:00.000+05:302009-04-07T20:33:00.000+05:30And I say this again Mr. Anil, Gavaskar has every ...And I say this again Mr. Anil, Gavaskar has every right to criticize the 4-captain theory. You may call whatever you like. To each their view. He is not the first one to do that. Wadekar, Vengsarkar et al have debunked the idea one time or other. The question of paramount importance is what kind of critiquing is this.<BR/><BR/>If you say, you have a flawed theory. I respect that. If you say your theory is flawed because you are an idiot, I do not respect that. The age of you hit me and I will show the other cheek is gone. It does not matter who you are. In your own private space, you can be as condescending as possible. In the public space, everybody needs to be restrained. This is how we got here and this is how it gets worse. Save the soul, not the man. That is how a civilized nation breathes and is taken seriously. <BR/><BR/>Gnadhiji preached the biggest form of violence to bring change.

My language is sometimes blunt and crude and some things which may seem minor to be part of IPL actually impact larger population in different ways...I have nothing personal against people like you.<BR/><BR/> I don't know why you decided to skip the last comment which has been reported across different section of news media and that was<BR/><BR/>"If you have a problem with 4 captains theory then you buy your own team and run it the way you want." <BR/><BR/>This last statement of SRK nullified everything and shows his frustration with Gavaskar's comments. You are right that SRK was not educating him on cricket and I think he tried hard to say positive things about him but he couldn't resist taunting him to bring his own team. In other words if you don't have money to buy a team then just keep quiet. That's the essence of his statements which is shameful. <BR/><BR/>Let's wait and see how these 4 captains theory is going to unfold when this tamasha actually begins. To me this is probably the only politically correct way to tell Saurav Ganguly about his last few seasons. But the dillema for SRK is that he is too afraid to mess up with sports crazy bengalis and hence this bizzare concept. <BR/><BR/><BR/>You also mentioned <BR/>"I again ask you Mr. Anil. Would it have made a difference if Ravi Shastri or Kapil Dev had owned the team. Does it make difference??"<BR/><BR/>Yes. It does make a difference. And it's because of combination of bollywood and TV journalists. If the owner of the team is selling cement or daaru, no journalists ever bother to ask for their comments on cricket. Because OUR MEDIA is GREEDY, and lacks journalistic values, the moment something happens in cricket field they will rush to these sleazy owners from Bollywood for comments. And people from Bollywood always look for any opportunity to come in front of camera. That's why when SriLankan players were attacked in Lahore or Indian team was in New Zealand I had to hear comments of these same bollywood jokers namely Shilpa Shetty, Preity Zinta, Shahrukh Khan who suddenly become experts on all matters of cricket. Could you explain to me that NDTV and other TV channels showed Preity Zinta doing bungi jumping 20-30 times in 2 weeks period. What the hell that has to do with cricket. Why not they show Mallika Sherawat doing bungi jumping in 2 piece bikini...just because she does not have a share in IPL franchise. <BR/><BR/>That's the UGLY side of IPL being in the hands of attention seeking bollywood sl_ts and for some it does make difference and that includes me.<BR/><BR/>There is nothing wrong when younger players are getting money. In fact I wish sportsperson from each sport category earns good money to have a descent living. Be it cricket, hockey, archery or weightlifters. But that's just a wishful thinking in other sports.<BR/><BR/>On the question of sl_ts being someone sister or mother. I think that's clear to everyone as no one lands on this planet out of thin air. But these kind of loose character women, which are in plenty in bollywood, used to be in the past as well though not as high in number as today. The biggest difference is that in those days their turmoiled lifestyle were limited to this bollywood fraternity and few magazines like stardust...probably Shobha De was part of it. It's one thing to read and see few pics and completely different thing to see these same sl_ts coming personally on TV and tellling their filth on TV 365 days a year. This wave of sl_ts in bollywood these days are affecting family values with the help of those in the TV news channels. If that provocative dances, cheap talks stay in magazines, theatres or a DVD , it doesn't affect masses that much and specially kids. But if the same provocative dances are shown on National TV, 24X7 every single day then it creates havoc in the mind of a large population. And by large population I mean 80% of population who is downright poor and specially poor women suffer the consequences of this western ills. <BR/><BR/>You can say it's not their fault but to me the bollywood, TV News media and now sl_ts alias cheerleaders in Cricket who are there just to show their bustline are the true axis of Kalyugi times in which we are in.<BR/><BR/>The culture and favourite past time cricket is being hijacked by Bollywood with the help of many journalists on TV news channels.

After the fact that SRK press conference and its unedited version is in the public domain, here are the facts translated from hindi verbatim.<BR/><BR/>Quote 1: Gavaskar Saab knowledge of cricket is 1.5 billion times more than me. So I can not even think about commenting on his statement.<BR/><BR/>Quote 2: Gavaskar saab never played T20 format of the game. Even if he did not, he has enough knowledge to comment on it. <BR/><BR/>Quote 3: Please let us try this. Everybody says to me, do this do that. Please give the team some breathing space. We give Gavaskar's saabs comments very seriously. But we also take our coach and the team seriously.<BR/><BR/>So SUSH! to Shobha et al. The larger question and obviously to the named persons are:<BR/><BR/>Will you lick (not eat) the comments or whatever u can lick; you made earlier. <BR/><BR/>Whose honesty are we discussing here. Shobha's and Gavaskar's or SRK's. My answer is clear. Every sleaze needs to be dealt with the sleaze. <BR/><BR/>"You truly are a joke in a designer saree". You demean Tendulkar, he dedicates a century to the country. You demean Aamir, he encourages the right to vote. You demean Preity, she becomes the activist for inspiring causes like no other. You demean SRK and Amitabh, you truly lick your own words and I do not know what else.<BR/><BR/>4th attempt.

I am not passing sermon here, but attempting to let people the truth. Want to watch the entire press conference. Look at youtube or other news articles on the same in today's paper.<BR/><BR/>Yes FYI! KKR had selected 57 players. Out of which 25 are currently in SA and 16-18 will be selected after the final trail. According to news reports, there is a talk of developing a cricket academy in Kolkata, spearheaded by John and possibly Ganguly. They form the Jr. KKR team (that is why these many youngsters).<BR/><BR/>I again ask you Mr. Anil. Would it have made a difference if Ravi Shastri or Kapil Dev had owned the team. I understand that you have your reservations about IPL. Try distinguishing between two things. A company owned by a Bollywood star owns a cricketing franchise. Similarly a large petroleum and cement firm owns a franchise. Both the franchises are operated by a cricketing technical staff consisting of former captains as coaches, team captains et al, while the finances are handled by the said firm/star. Does it make a difference.<BR/><BR/>People had reservations when ODI came to being. Even more during Kerry Packer's WC (otherwise called pyjama cricket). Things do take time. <BR/><BR/>When we used to play for school, colleges or for some low level division league, the matches used to be 25 overs or less. I got paid Rs 50 per match for playing in a division league in 1995. Today, a youngster gets paid 30-40K for getting selected in one of these franchises and playing one season. If he performs, he gets a call for the national team. While not having to worry about the next food on his table, he can concentrate on his game. So I ask, what's wrong. There aren't enough platforms for sport in our country where people can give it their best shot. <BR/><BR/>If I may comment, pardon me for saying this, but the sl_t happens to a somebody's sister, daughter who happens to be in a acting profession. I do not understand what is wrong with that. Are they dumb as many (including Shobha) claims. Is it not true that the same Shobha shared stage protesting against the govt with the same sl_t in the aftermath of 26/11. Is is also not true that the same person worked personally towards cleaning Mumbai beach in televised program, geared to get support for getting electricity in villages, cleaning Yamuna river and so on. This work was spearheaded by our Nobel peace prize winner for this year Dr. Pachauri. I did not do any of this. If you did anything like this great. If not please refrain from passing character judgements (3 times, 997 to go). <BR/><BR/>And for the record, Shobha De used to be a model prior to becoming the editor (I think) for a film gossip magazine called Stardust, which was nothing more than a tabloid. Her book to fame was called Superstars, based on Bollywood film industry. <BR/><BR/>"Those who live in glass houses should not throw stones on others"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-73459391149235775072009-04-07T01:04:00.000+05:302009-04-07T01:04:00.000+05:30@GauthamI am not against experimenting and I appre...@Gautham<BR/><BR/>I am not against experimenting and I appreciate your clear thoughts. <BR/><BR/>I think more than experimenting I am against businessman/bollywood trying to educate a legend of the game....Just because he has filthy money from bollywood. <BR/><BR/>I find the concept bizzare but there is nothing wrong with experiment. I have followed the game closely when it was not a commercial business and have played it too...though not at higher level.<BR/><BR/>I don't follow IPL seriously but what I heard there were two statements from SRK...one was that KKR will not doanything wihtout Ganguly...Ganguly denied that he knows anything about 4 captains concept (although I doubt it) and the coach says that he wants to have 4 captains. <BR/><BR/>From above statements I gather that Buchanan and SRK wants to have 4 captain but because of backlash they don't want to hurt Ganguly and therefore bengali sentiments. And as I told you that even if Ganguly has willingly told that he is happy with this concept, I would still say that this concept defies logic because it creates more confusion and disillusions and it will cut the KKR team to pieces because there are always some hidden loyalties among different players for senior players. <BR/><BR/>It surprised me that there are 57 players in KKR team and 60% of them are youngsters. Is it fair to assume that all 57 are going to South Africa as part of the KKR team?? <BR/><BR/>I have my reasons for negative against IPL even though that was not part of original discussion. I belong to an era when cricket was a sport and not a business. I would have enjoyed IPL as well but by bringing these sl_ts from bollywood and abroad as cheerleaders and showing their bustline and cheap dances have made it difficult for some to watch it as a sport. <BR/><BR/>And the way our media rushes to Preity Zinta, Shilpa, Sharrukh or daruwalaa for comments everytime something related to cricket makes me feel, how CHEAP are our TV journalists.

My capability of persuasion are limited, unlike others whose 10-word sound bites create more ruckus like no other. Are we living in a cynical world. What are we so cynical about. Ridiculing an idea and ridiculing somebody are two different things. Ridicule an idea, but make a point on why. Do not berate. <BR/><BR/>Why do we like to ridicule others. Because it makes us feel good about ourselves.What is so cynical of SRK saying something or respectfully disagreeing with Gavaskar (again check facts). What was so cynical about any public figure disagreeing with the general opinion, no matter who made that opinion. Even if the opinion maker literally berates the individual. <BR/><BR/>I am a researcher, a teacher and used a play a lot of sports for school and college team. My professor and coach used to tell me: "No idea or question is stupid or insane enough." To me insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. I have seen success (however modest) and failure because of these stupid ideas. I firmly believe that I would never have known how stupid an idea was until I tested it. Edison took more 1000 times to make a light bulb. When asked, he said " I have discovered 1000 ways how not to make a light bulb. I only needed one to make it work."

If we are talking technicalites, I am sorry to say, I did not find it in the original article itself. If it is the latter, then we should atleast get the facts right before passing judgement.<BR/><BR/>@ Anil<BR/><BR/>With the exception of Ganguly and 10 international players (some of them just made to the national teams), a lot of them are still youngsters. Out of the team of 57 odd players, more than 60 % are youngsters.<BR/><BR/>As I said earlier, is this a case of indifferent attitude or indifferent stratergy. A cricket player will perform (90% talent) whatever indifference the coach have with the said captain. While not completely agreeing to it, it is still a experiment. <BR/><BR/>The question is should it receive some benfit of doubt to be tested. I believe it should. Nobody is saying there should be 44 players in cricket. How much influence does a fielding captain have on the game being played. What is captaincy all about. Is it the capacity to stratergize, make the right decisions for the team and push players to perform at the highest levels or is it an ego trip to oblivion. If key decisions within the team are made collectively, and the decision makers are given a title, what is wrong. <BR/><BR/>Single player sports (tennis badminton et al.) are based on pure talent. Multi-player sports are team efforts and this includes the coach also. <BR/><BR/>And BTW, the comment or idea behind the 4-captain theory did not come from a bollywood character (just making sure the facts are right here). It came from a coach who had a stratergy for the team. What happened pursuant to the announcement of such a theory was some debunked it, some said it could work.<BR/><BR/>@ Siddhusaheb<BR/><BR/>With due respect to Gavaskar who thought T-20 would kill the game of cricket, he is entitled to his opinion. Tell the readers why the thoery would fail. Give its merits/demerits. That is food for thought. However, just criticizing the coach as being arrogant, incapable, calling him failed cricketer (and his multiple cronies) is not good opinion. Same applies to Shobha De. She knows Gavaskar very well and can have a high opinion on his honesty. The point is she does not know John Buchanan (I am sure of that) and thus can not speak about his character. John Buchanan may not be as accomplished as Gavaskar, but he has earned his right to test his views and theory within his team. <BR/><BR/>All the Bollywood character said is please give the idea the breathing space (obviously defending his coach). He said let me run the team as per the wishes of the coach (for now). If it does not work, we will know. So I say, that is ok. The bigger question is if Vijay Mallya, N Srinivasan (CSK), Ness Wadia, GMR and Ambani defended the same idea, what would you say. That they do not know cricket and should be in the business of running the big companies they run.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-33616883343042323632009-04-06T17:33:00.000+05:302009-04-06T17:33:00.000+05:30Nafisa is a good polo wife.

I thi...@ Gautham,<BR/> <BR/>You have made some good points.<BR/> <BR/>I think the basic difference is that Buchanan is coaching players who are already established players. <BR/><BR/>They are not in the age group of MRF pace academy. When a 20-22 year old player comes and plays unders a high profile coach, like Buchanan, he can only polish these players. If he tries to change their basic techniques the player will get confused. Cricket is 90% talent and 10% luck. There are lucky captains and coaches who keep winning because they have a good teams at their disposal. Similarly there are good coaches and captains leading mediocre teams and lose repeatedly.<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Same is true with a good captain wo can get best out oftheir players. But the moment there is rift among different captains and coach the whole concept of experimenting is defeated. <BR/><BR/>Test matches are won by bowlers. Indian bowling is still way behind in terms of fire power. It works in only in patches. Best batsmen in the world can only help to draw a match but rarely they win for the team.<BR/><BR/>American footbal is not for human race in my humble opinion. The offensive and defensive coaches are because of the nature of the game. If I remember correctly there are different players in offensive and defensive team in a single match.<BR/><BR/>If cricket is changed in such a way that there are specialized batting team and bowling team playing in a single match. In other words a team batting first can allow all 11 players to bat and then in the same match when they are bowling, a different set of 11 bowlers are allowed. In theory 22 players can play from one team in a single match and 44 players if both teams are considered. That kind of cricket will be equivalent to the American footbal and hence two different coaches.<BR/><BR/>But 4 coaches in a traditional T20cricket match is height of stupidity and when the comment comes from a bollywood character then this is the crude form of commercialization of the game of cricket.<BR/><BR/>If people have any respect for the legends of the game they should boycott these IPL matches. And SRK is stuck with Bengali babu for at least 2 years because he knows how Calcultta will respond if he goes against Ganguli unilaterally.Anil Kumarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07185075142594811893noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-73887093508787047032009-04-06T15:58:00.000+05:302009-04-06T15:58:00.000+05:30There appears to be a clear distinction between Ga...There appears to be a clear distinction between Gavaskar's comments and SRK's.<BR/><BR/>Whereas, Gavaskar attacked Buchanan's multi-captain theory, SRK attacked Gavaskar the player.<BR/><BR/>So, who's hitting below the belt here?Sidhusaahebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08428201823375343016noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-75143390888939420462009-04-06T15:03:00.000+05:302009-04-06T15:03:00.000+05:30I would agree with the opinion on Miss India... tr...I would agree with the opinion on Miss India... truly girls look so similar ... the originality is missing ...Rajlakshmihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05947753574286557864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-74534223555180468292009-04-06T14:43:00.000+05:302009-04-06T14:43:00.000+05:30Super models...

Make up can turn a dowdy to a glamour star, with all the innocence running out the door! The only model I actually liked in ages has been Frieda Pinto! She isn't drop dead gorgeous but there is this charm about her smile! Fresh! <BR/>Miss India is definitely lost its touch. A lot of the gals look as boring as me!

We dont hv many educated and honest people standing for elections, so i guess she is the next best option. People who complain can themselves come forward and run, dont u think??? And i repeat (ur words actually) India is on Auto Pilot. So not unduly worried.<BR/><BR/>Gavaskar is a legend yes..But he believes in cricket being a traditional game, that has to be played in a traditional format. Thats the reason he was against 20-20. He still cannot adjust to the fact that The Gentleman's Game has gone totally commercial. Maybe it pains him to see what cricket has come down too. Hence his outburst. SRK is the present generation, an actor and definitely a businessman. For him its about raking in the moolah for himself and his investors, cos its a lot of money at stake. He is answerable to his investors offcourse and thats what he is worried about. Any fortright businessman would think this way, cos he has a reputation to protect. U may remember the ABCL fiasco, and how Mr. Bachchan went all out to repay the money he owed his investors. Almost to the tune of 100 crores I read. So SRK is also right in his own way, cos if someone tries to project his business in a negative way he will answer. And its upto him how to run his business. The purity and sanctity of the game be damned !!!<BR/><BR/>Have stopped watching beauty pageants a long time back. There was a time we knew who were our Miss India's representing our country in the Miss Universe / World pageant.

But I wonder why she has dirtied her hands and legs and everything in this politics of politics. <BR/><BR/>************************<BR/>sunil gavaskar, yes, i trust him. though i must admit that i dont follow cricket that well, i do understand that gavaskar would definitely weigh his words before he spills them out. SRK on the other hand is a businessman. and he is very pr-wise. he could do anything to get his knight riders team in news. see, we are all just speaking about knight riders. they will always remain in the news. <BR/><BR/>preity, shilpa vagaira vagaira.. is all forgotten. <BR/><BR/>*******************************<BR/><BR/>misshhh india... o! i still remember Ash's tripping on stage, madhu's straight-from-the-heart statement about the need for big stadiums, Sen madam's mother teresa blabber with grace and poise... <BR/><BR/>but woh sab is past... abhi everything looks so so mechanical... no innovation, no modification.. i loved the pradeep guha days... it had some special style and class. <BR/><BR/>TOI has managed to get more eyeballs to filmfare though, i loved nangu kapoor and tweezer khan's performance at this years event... whereas I was appalled by the lukewarm response that Om Puri received when he was given the lifetime achievement. And SRK usually bring a lot of energy on stage, but this time he was terrible.Harishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12609011423304441643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3452007250221117551.post-23379113002624095392009-04-06T11:28:00.000+05:302009-04-06T11:28:00.000+05:30Srk is a pompous big mouth.
