Seeking change, sometimes without reason

And so another inmate of death row walked out of the kangaroo court that was sitting in judgement over him. And he did it with poise, simplicity and dignity.

Well saidUKBy: Ruschil | Sunday , 11 Jan '09 5:40:39 AM Reply | Forward It is really tragic that a simple, down-to-earth character like VVS is not given his due and flashy showmen given to histrionics on and off the field, while catering to media sound bytes grab the limelight, and needless to say, the money. For someone who has spent his formative years eating, sleeping and breathing cricket, it does lead to considerable disillusionment. It is time that the likes of Dravid, Laxman, Kumble, Chanderpaul, Pollock, M.Hussey are recognized as ideal role models.

great articleBy: raj | Saturday , 1 Nov '08 8:26:13 AM Reply | Forward great article.. whats hes trying to say is that sucess and arrogance dont always have to go together.. dravid, kumble, tendulkar and laxman embody this notion. No doubt ganguly was a great captain and is a very good player. But he never looked to be a humble man. Its not necessarily a fault, rather concidering the crux of the article i dont find it to be a glarring omission. Though laxmans average pales in comparison with that of some of the "modern greats" I believe that by scoring 6 centuries against the australians, the most dominant team in world cricket he has joined the parthenon of the great.

Million dollar manBy: Cellinis | Friday , 31 Oct '08 19:59:13 PM Reply | Forward I have no idea whether you read the comments, you do seem to write in a lot of places! However, I have to say this... thank you for reminding everyone about VVS Laxman

Boghle Bhai ka kya hoga?By: debjani | Friday , 31 Oct '08 14:10:32 PM Reply | Forward Bhogle Bhai, a small matter - why have you left out Saurav Ganguly? Or is the line ' a visit to match referee' an oblique refernce to SG? If so you have maintained your consistency at least. The players' forms see ups and downs but your form as a 'Hate Sourav cadre' is constant. If you are really serious about young Indan players, it is surprising you omit any mention of the achievements of the most successful Indian Captain so far.What you will do , bhai . once SG takes the final bow? Kis par nishana sadhoge?
