    On another note I must confess to being a bit embarrassed at seeing the ages alongside the names of some of the players. Either there is an ageing pill that is taking effect too quickly, or we are seeing a major evolutionary change or people are just lying brazenly. I suspect we know the right answer and it is not “none of the above” this time. It must be stamped out now.

    Age of cricketersBy: J. Jayaraman | 16-May-2009 Reply | Forward Hope Harsh Bhogle must have watched age-category matches like under 22 etc. in India and must have noticed that a few players are definitely overaged, though "certificates" may prove otherwise. 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 | 15-May-2009 Reply | Forward [i]Whatever the reasons, you can’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.

    RE: How about some introspection on the IPL television coverage...By: Sanjay | 15-May-2009 Reply | Forward Couldn’t agree more with Sudheer. While one is commenting on cricketers and their ages, why not some introspection of commentary team of which the author of this article is a member!!! What next are they going to sell???
    How about some introspection on the IPL television coverage...By: Sudheer Ravindra | 15-May-2009 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!
