Whatever the reasons, you can’t drop sitters at this level

When we were growing up in Hyderabad, there were days when we got swarms of flying insects virtually enveloping a light. Somebody told us that if you placed a large flat vessel full of water under the light, the insects would fall into it. It worked. I suspect we are now seeing the equivalent o ....Read more

Age of cricketersBy: J.

BCCI have ignored this factor for reasons best known to them. So this talk about "age" of player is nothing new.

Not everything has an explanationBy: Jaideep Dave | Friday , 15 May '09 17:24:47 PM Reply | Forward [i]Whatever the reasons, you canâ€™t drop sitters at this level[/i]There doesn't have to be a reason for everything in life. Why are the fielders dropping catches? We don't know. Every catch is dropped for a different reason, sometimes due to misjudgment or due to ball not being visible due to the crowd-backdrop or some other reason. Or maybe it is 'it just is', reasonless phenomena.And I agree about the commentary thingie. It's been horrendous. Let's not blame Harsha. He cannot shit in the plate from which he eats.

How about some introspection on the IPL television coverage...By: Sudheer Ravindra | Friday , 15 May '09 12:19:15 PM Reply | Forward Nice points about the standard of catching and the issue about age. Now, we would appreciate some candid comments about the pandering by the commentary team! What the heck is a 'DLF maximum' or a 'Citi moment of success'(now that is a company that you associate with success!)? May be it is too close to home to comment on. It is absolutely unbelievable the way you guys have sold out!
