India Team Discussion

[Bevab]

I rest my case now. Thanks for the wonderful explanation of the situation about the Rahane argument. If you can answer the latter part it would be absolutely great.

I'll post that in the match thread as it seems more relevant there.

Whats up with Sehwag attacking Maxwell over his IPL form. Its so pathetic - gotten worse than his usual self in the commentary box.

IPL is done and dusted - Maxwell has smashed our bowlers over the park in Australia. Deal with it . Viru is sounding like a basic troll with nothing better to do than give soundbites

What’s going on at the BCCI?
By the way, always admired that Sharda Ugra has the journalistic integrity to speak her mind, even if it’s an unpopular opinion. Such journalists are a rare breed in the subcontinent.

As big a fan as I am of Dada, his stint as BCCI has not been up to the mark. It was absolutely shocking to see him feature in advertisements despite holding such a high profile solution - when conflict of interest has been a pain point for BCCI recently. And then free riding Amit Shah Jr. with him on the trip.

Also moving court to extend their tenure as BCCI heads (thereby asking the court to repeal a rule set by the court itself) is something that I had not expected off Dada.

Well, I do not know how to feel about this.

Difficult to judge, as I have no idea about what they have achieved so far. All I remember of Mohanty and Kuruvilla is that they were leading one of the worst bowling line ups ever fielded by India

Talking of new appointments and nominations

Arun Jaitley’s son files nomination for DDCA president’s post, Gautam Gambhir’s uncle for treasurer

Late Jaitley Sr. had anyways done a crapload of damage and DDCA is just going to fall further into ruins with appointments like these *cough*Nepo*cough*



Luckily Gulati (GGs uncle) lost the election. But Jaitley Jr. Won it unanimously after everyone dropped off the race at the last minute *cha-ching*

Glad to see Bhuvi back
But unfortunately, his team lose due to Raina's slow innings

Raina did play a little slow, but I can't judge him based on just the score. Maybe it was the pitch, who knows?

Now either India has to win 4 matches or win 3 matches & draw 2 matches to qualify for the World Test Championship final.

Going on past statistics, India is definitely the favourite side to sweep the test series, especially due to India's great record at home. (Lost on 1 test match in the last 33-34, iirc)

Trying to get back in the know with the runnings of the BCCI, apparently the Supreme Court are attempting to remove Ganguly and Co after they have hijacked leadership of the BCCI despite their terms ending well over year!

Lots of info to sift through, cant believe i missed so much in the 2 yrs I was out of the loop.

Srinivasan still a figure in local cricket?

I do not know the origins of this, but if there is even a little bit of truth to this then boi...

I only wish. I do not think its going to happen just for the fact the lines read The source has also revealed that if the series goes ahead, then the Indian team will tour Pakistan for a three-match T20I series over a six-day window in late 2021.

I do not think India or Pakistan will visit each other. I am sure if it ever happens, it will be at a neutral venue.
