India's tour of South Africa 2013-14

Lol, yup i despise him for the simple fact he has got the most no of chances in indian cricket history despite shoddy performances.
Other cricketers wait/struggle for a lifetime even to get a single odi series. Then this guy gets everything on platter series after series.
i thought after last years sri lankan odi series where he scored just 13 runs out of 5 matches he would be permanently booted out after having played over 75 odi's at that time.
we get to see so many scathing articles about sehwag/gambhir/yuvi if they don't perform like how they scored x runs in last 10 matches, they are out of form etc, despite playing for 10 yrs.
i am yet to see any article questioning nohit's non-performance or how he is out of form or anything related to his selection.

After Sachin I thought it was going to be Rahane !

Feel bad for Rahane. Does everything but still doesn't get to play.
Whereas Rohit and Vijay practically do nothing to warrant a place in the the team. At least Rohit performs in the IPLs, Vijay doesn't do that either.

For all the agony caused by Rohit Sharma, I want him to score at least 3 centuries in the upcoming Zimbabwe tour. But then we have tonight as well. Let him start from now. Please don't laugh at me!

Not a Rohit Sharma fan by any means but if it comes down to selection between him and rahane I would blindly choose Sharma ... Rahane so far is a domestic king and needs to improve a lot to cement his place in the test team atleast ... Plus dont forget even Manoj Tiwary comes inframe for test selection ....

Real reason of objection is this
http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cricketnext/bcci-to-pull-out-of-sa-tour-over-haroon-lorgats-appointment/405680-78.html

[color=rgb(60,61,61);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;]But now sources have told [/color]CNN-IBN[color=rgb(60,61,61);font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:14px;] that Lorgat's possible appointment by CSA could be the key issue behind BCCI expressing it displeasure.[/color]

Bcci has gone nuts. they have no right to interfere in selecting the chiefs of other boards

 

[moindear]

Most powerful cricket body in the world, they can do anything
No cricket board would want to say no to BCCI since the revenue generation for one series is enough for them for a year.

There you go!

[color=rgb(51,51,51);font-family:Tahoma;font-size:13px;] The BCCI said it hadn't ruled out ending the CLT20 association with CSA, which like CA holds a stake, although South African teams' participation was to continue regardless[/color]

The BCCI's working committee, meanwhile, will meet on Sunday, and is expected to finalise its requirements regarding the schedule of India's tour of South Africa. Jagmohan Dalmiya, the acting president of the BCCI, told ESPNcricinfo that the board hadn't sent an alternative itinerary over to CSA yet, and was expected to do so only after the Sunday meeting.

The reason why BCCI hates Haroon Lorgat which led to almost cancellation of this series
[color=rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;]1.You know Bangladesh has been granted extension after extension for building the stadiums for the 2014 World T20.BCCI wasnt given that for the Eden Gardens and no India match was played at India's most iconic stadium.[/color]

[color=rgb(0,0,0);font-family:verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:13px;]2.Lorgat suddenly formulated the idea of Woolf report and wanted INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS in ICC.The question was when FIFA/IOC all other such federations function the way ICC does why get independent directors.And from which country will they come from?Whichever country they come from that country will have 2 votes.[/color]
