East vs. West

Dinda takes another bagful of wickets.

Anustup Majumdar got East the crucial first innings lead with an unbeaten ton in the first innings with their backs against the wall. He again kept his cool and saw East make the run chase to qualify for the semis against North.

This follows his comeback match against Baroda where he held his nerve with a ton to take a crucial first innings lead which saved Bengal from relegation.

Anustup's inspiration: http://www.telegraphindia.com/1111223/jsp/sports/story_14918263.jsp

[ramshorns]

So Tinda gets a bulk of lower order batsman and that is news.  Just one wicket out of the 10 top order batsman that got out in both innings.  In other words this guy is still a Tinda with a  FC average of over 30 that makes the likes of Vinay Kumar appear like Ambrose in comparsion at one look at the FC averages.

And by the way Tinda can be called Dinda once his FC average gets close to 27 or so.

Some people can't even read a scorecard, forget about understanding the longer version of the game. AM Nayar (first class average 50+) and Pawar are top order batsmen who came down the order in I2 to set a total. If Dinda had not ran through them when they were in a threatening partnership, EZ would have had a tough chase. Effectively reduced from 151/5 to 172 a.o. thus making the win feasible. 40-50 runs more on a turning track would have been dicey.

Remember this was against same Darekar who pulped Hyd for 54 with figures of 20-8.

WOW.  What a great achievement.  Got Nayar who averages 50+ so much so that he got demoted to No.7 after getting figured out by Aby Nichem a much better prospect then Tinda.  Who cares anyway about this Tinda Pinda?  Tinda averages 30+ per wicket in FC, this in a FC format which has Vinay Kumar averaging below 25 and we all should pay attention to some wierd match analysis on how getting lower order batsman is a big deal by a bonafide stat fudger of this DG.

I know Ganguly was pimping for this guy to be included in the Indian team just because he plays for the Bengal Ranji team but believe me Tinda is far from a finished product that needs two more seasons of consistent performances ib FC to be allowed anywhere close to the Indian team.

[Cernunnos]

Someone can't even grasp the simple point as to why a wicket-keeper was sent to open on a sporting track and the top order batsmen sent to bat later in a situation where a total was to be set. Calling it "demotion" exposes how little cricket he understands. If only the top 5 batsmen are worth taking as per his diktat, that means VVS, who batted at #6 after Ganguly, was a mere tailender? LOL.

Dinda has had two good seasons, 2008/09 & now. Definitely he should be one of the front-runners for contention, if not now, but in the future.

[Cernunnos]

And great white hope Rayudu (averaging 42) who got "figured out by Abu Nechim" for only 9, got promoted to #3 in the second innings!

As if you were in the dressing room and Nayar the world beater coming in at 7 will set the world on fire and help set up a total.  Great piece of cricketing wisdom.  Nice grasping power (or wierd logic?) usually derived out of tarnishing facts to show something that is not true.

Calling it "demotion" exposes how little cricket he understands. If only the top 5 batsmen are worth taking as per his diktat, that means VVS, who batted at #6 after Ganguly, was a mere tailender? LOL.

I do not expect you to get the point as there nothing set in stone when it comes to making judgemental calls (It is clear Nichem Ahmed got the top order batsman while Tinda could not).  Just because the selfish Ganguly misused his captaincy to play himself above VVS despite being a inferior player does not mean much here excepting prove what a jack-ass he has been while captaining India.   

Dinda has had two good seasons, 2008/09 & now. Definitely he should be one of the front-runners for contention, if not now, but in the future.

Yeah he had one good season 3 years back and this year after being s*** in those 3 years in between.  Trust Ganguly fanboys to twist things and pull things out of their a$$ to come up with such stuff and pimp inconsistency just because the player is from Bengal.  Thank god Ganguly is not the captain if not he would have pulled a Deep Sh!t Gupta on Tinda and drafted him in when it is clearly evident even within the EZ team Abu Nichem Ahmed is a better prospect than Tinda and their FC averages testifies that.

Daant kelane baancharaam - in need for Rogaine

[ramshorns]

Love the foto. What great focus and determination in his eyes.

Yes the photo of Tinda and his great determination.  FC average of 31 - Compare that to some of his EZ teammates - Mohanty - FC average 23 and Abu Nichem - FC average 25.  But but because the stupid Ganguly said he should be playing for India just because he is from Bengal all his fanatics blindly follow suit to pimp for him.

If only Leady had showed half as much of the same qualities in the last 8 months!

What about the pathetic *uly and his qualities?  Any knocks that compare to Eden 2001 through Durban 2011.  Not a chance. 

So let us briefly look at the great qualities of the great *uly.

1) Run-ins with the coach while in the Indian team as the skipper trying to hold on to the spot despite being a liability.  Kicked out of the team for being a bad team guy and a player.

2) Run-ins with another coach while with the KKR team because he was told he is not fit enough to lead a 20-20 side and rightly so.  Kicked out again from the team this time from his city team for being a cancer in the dressing room as attested by Akash Chopra who was proved correct when SRK and Whatmore relieved him the next year.

Need more such things to assess the great qualities of *uly?

Nothing beats the below and the source of your stale food fantasies and burps.  One hopes the idiocy of *uly in the commentary box asking to recruit some cheap hookers from Bengal into the Indian team(read Tinda)is not because of the after effects of consuming the stinking half cooked fish curry the staleness of what has gotten into the head.

Agreed.

About time you did with the above.  Admittance is the first step.  There is hope.

Is anybody talking about the Duleep Trophy here? I think South Zone will win hands down if Dravid and Laxman play for them- hopefully or even otherwise.

[Cernunnos]

LOL.
This is the record of South Zone whenever Laxman played since 2000:

vs. NZ, 3-5, vvs captain
vs. SZ 3-5, rd captain
vs. EZ LOSS, rd captain
vs. CZ LOSS, vvs captain
vs. WZ LOSS, rd captain
vs. NZ LOSS, vvs captain
vs. WZ LOSS, vvs captain
vs. WZ WIN, vvs captain
vs. SL-A LOSS, vvs captain
vs. CZ, 5-3, vvs captain

So in 10 matches, 6 outright losses, 2 losses on first innings, 1 first-innings lead, and only ONE outright win. His captaincy record speaks for itself.

Yes as opposed to the mediocre Ganguly and his captaincy when captaining India or KKR leave alone a zonal side.

Let us dissect it.

Despite having greats like RD, VVS, SRT at his disposal with the bat and AK and Darty(pre-2007 one) along with a younger ZK, Srinath etc he has no wins where he can take credit for in Tests.

Couple of examples -
Eden 2001 - (VVS, RD with the bat nothing from bat of Ganguly)
Adelaide 2003 (RD, VVS with the bat nothing from bat of Ganguly)

In short
As a Test captain for 5 years this guy did nothing but ride on the bats of greats such as VVS, RD etc while lazing on his game so much so that he averaged 35.00 or so in those 5 years a mark bettered by bowling all-rounder Vettori close to 39 average and WK all-rounder MSD 40+ average.

It got so bad that the then coach GC had to take a tough stance to remove Ganguly primarily because of his attitude and refusing to change and work on his game.  By the way the only master stroke of GC while he was the coach.

Coming to ODI's again having some of the best talent around he lost 13 Finals a record thus far and a shaming WC Finals loss when the whole world wanted India to bat upon winning the toss.  Single most brain freezing moment in Indian cricketing history.  India could have won the Final had they batted first.  Well that error was corrected by MSD who got us the much needed WC trophy 28 years later after goof-ups by skippers such as Ganguly who proved to be a bad leader outside of getting wins due to individual brilliance in the presence of great players (such as Eden 2001 or Adelaide 2003).

Speaking of Ganguly being a bad leader outside of having great players and results due to individual brilliance his stint with KKR gives one a chance to reflect upon it.  SRK after the player auction entrusts Ganguly with the captaincy of the KKR team.  Ganguly messes it up so bad while being not able to deal with the local talent to blend in with the abroad players KKR remained the only team in his 3 years there to not make a SF round (Yes the rest of the teams made it to the SF atleast once in that span).  It has gotten so bad in the 2nd year that Ganguly had rifts with the coach there (What else is new?) and as per the reports they were groups with in the team and it is such a shame that KKR became a laughing stock with this unwanted circus outside of the playing field.  SRK after 3 years of this non-sense had to make a call and he along with Whatmore had to cut Ganguly loose from all teams the Kolkata team.  Think about that.  Ganguly being let go despite the threats of a backlash and SRK was prepared to face the consequences.

Contrast that to MSD, AK, Gilly, Warne, SRT etc.  They all did well to lead and show leadership skills to inspire the local talent to blend in with the abroad players and got the teams to SF or later atleast once.  In MSD's case he won the IPL outright twice.

While it is easy to make of fun of others(VVS, RD etc) there are some gaping holes when it comes to Ganguly and his leadership skills.  So if I were a fan of Ganguly I would think twice to poke fun at others.

What?

Isn't it clear? Despite having an excellent team he did not achieve the desired results owing to his ineptness as a captain.  Our abroad Test series wins (Eng, WI) were gotten under RD and our No.1 Test ranking and WC wins (both 50 over one and 20-20) were gotten under MSD.  Anyhow I do not expect you to get it.  Plus when will you learn to take things with a pinch of salt despite everything listed in my eloborate post above are 100% factually correct.

How a certain *uly looked in people eyes when he appeared in front of Pawar's house for his dinner meeting when he was given a back door entry after GC correctly showed him the door owing to poor attitude and not setting an example as a captain by refusing to work hard on his game(35 average in 5 years as captain proves that).

Yes from time to time players have to show such emotions when *uly's of the world are given preferrential treatment by the BCCI (2006 back door entry given by Pawar, 4 free Tests to say goodbye despite being dropped after the SL series, continuing for 5 years as captain with a 35 average etc etc) wondering what is going on.
