• Rahul Dravid is retained as captain...Your views please

bad- he should have been the first one to be sacked. he inherited a team that was pretty good and managed to just take it down to the cellar. didnt even take him too long to accomplish that feat😊

😊
• About the endorsements- your views..I for one am happy 😃

happy happy. those ads were pretty bad😛

Scrapping the zonal selection system..Good or bad??Do you think, not all the deserved ones would get a chance this way, or is it the other way round??
• Making it compulsory to play the Ranji and other national cricket more- would that help the game??

doubtful. they've underachieved not because they did not play enuff. remember, they play so much international cricket and that did not do them any good. they underachieved simply because they got rich and useless.😊

• Generally what are your views on this whole reaction or action of BCCI??

BCCI is pretty useless and the root cause of all evil. fish usually rots from the top😉

I am happy over all...And the retaining of Rahul Dravid as captain is also in a way good..We will have a captain who is confident now and also he will be more careful now..😃

so he wasn't careful earlier?😛 the guy is totally insipid, hardly the hard of motivational guy to lead anything

and what's up with censoring sachin and yuvraj? much as i am bummed out with sachin, i think either of these two guys would be better captains than that dravid. they shld have been complimented for speaking out against chappell, not censored. but i think the guys at BCCI did not want to set a prededence whereby players attack authorities and expose them for the bunch of buffoons they are

Actually if India were to find a way to reconcile total worth of a person and name the Richest man in the country, Pawar would sit somewhere in the top.

There is absolutely nothing that earnings in BCCI will give him.(it is like you have a crorepati and there is an avenue where he is earning couple of rupees).

Pawar is into the power thing and he is a cricket fanatic.

true. next time we see him on TV, we should remember we are seeing a multi-billionaire. should accord him due respect😆

Rahul( the cricketer) has had his well deserved highs and some glaring lows.... its better to have a known Devil than an unknown angel ...

right. 😛and the one thing we know about this devil is that the team loses when he's in charge.

hmmm, wonder if that angel will be better? cant be worse than the devil me thinks.😊

🤣🤣🤣@ Pawar not making any money and a cricket fanatic.

When did he become a self-proclaimed cricket fanatic. Where was his fanaticism when Dalmiya was busy making the BCCI the richest and most powerful cricket board. He waits for Dalmiya to do all the hard work and when the time was ripe for the taking, he steps up and takes the cake along with all the icing. All very convenient to live off someone else's hardwork. Nothing new for a politician and nothing new for the Mumbai cricket board.

Pawar is into the power thing, right, and he is a cricket fanatic, wrong.

Someone please teach him the importance of communication and interaction with one's teammates before retaining him as the captain.

• About the endorsements- your views..I for one am happy 😃

Doesn't matter one way or the other, but in my opinion it may somewhat adversely affect upcoming cricketers.

• Scrapping the zonal selection system..Good or bad??Do you think, not all the deserved ones would get a chance this way, or is it the other way round??

Yes scrap the zonal system but also ensure that Mumbai and the West doesn't monopolise the whole system like it was in the earlier days.

• Making it compulsory to play the Ranji and other national cricket more- would that help the game??

If the pitches remain the same way, flat and slow, whoever plays the Ranji it won't help.

• Generally what are your views on this whole reaction or action of BCCI??

The suggestions are good but let's first see the action and then I'll believe it.

Dalmiya defeated Pawar in the last election(and if you want to think of Dalmiya the great, just look back at the last two BCCI elections, they were a mirror image of Indian politics in general), Dalmiya did good work, but got out of hand and became a egomaniac, a few more years under him and we would have been toast. I think you are forgetting about the indescretions of Dalmiya and declaring him a saint😉

Should politicians be in Cricket, dunno, but anyway Dalmiya had brought back the politics to BCCI, In that sense Pawar is just an extension to the Dalmiya rule😉

Brought back politics to Indian cricket?? When was it out btw?? I'm not declaring Dalmiya as saint but acknowledging his hard work. The fact still remains whether it's Dalmiya or Pawar they're all in it for the money. At least Dalmiya did something to empower the BCCI which I seriously doubt Pawar could've done. These politicians simply can't look beyond their pocket. And if Pawar is such an achiever can we have some of his achievements and contributions to the country and its politics as a politician.

well said.

assuming these guys are all crooked, at least we should have a performer like dalmiya than a dismal non-performer like pawar. dalymiya at least brought with him business management skills, pawar simply brings an ability to cut back-room deals for himself😆

how much money will Pawar make by getting into BCCI, let us think, 50 crore a year? That for Pawar or any politician of that stature is peanuts😆

What has Pawar done, well look at the latest whipping that he and the BCCI handed down to the players for non-performing😉(I think both of you guys are arguing for that in the other thread😆)

QED😉
