• Irfan Pathan is mentally and physically unfit to be in the playing eleven.
• Pathan should enrol himself in Kiran More's academy to learn some bowling.
• Pathan should concentrate on opening the one-day batting instead of test-match bowling to prolong his cricketing career.
• Harbhajan Singh was threatening to do a Siddhu if sidelined any more.
• Chappell wanted to prove to Brian Lara that he can bowl WI out for under 100 even without the attack spearhead.
• Chappell wanted to prove to Akram that he has a better record than him.
• Pathan told him that the umpire has injured his middle finger and is not giving LBWs any more.
• Pathan intends to carry out secret experiments at the nets.
• GC wanted to show to the world that Sehwag as a young bowler can outdo the experience of a Pathan.
• If Pathan manages to gather any more confidence under his belt he may start emulating Bhajji, Sehwag and Yuvraj Singh and start giving interviews.

Proloy, what does drop-show mean?

Proloy, what does drop-show mean?

Drop players at will until the force of experimentation conquers the universe or the player's confidence rises back to normal.

kban1, plz nudge  
dex, plz ask proloy about his household dinner table conversations(it will have much rhetorical value)

 

[kban1]

flute:

Do you see the point I was getting at now ?

Certainly not amusing to me. The only good thing is things have not yet gotten nasty. Hope that that does not happen.

Anyways, If my Internet connection is not fixed, I shall not be online for the whole weekend --I hope you guys can be nice to each other till then.

nope In fact, this is the perfect way to react to Ruchir's post rather than talking abuot ruchir's family and his dinner table conversations. Its fun, its safe and its time pass.

I was asking for a nudge from your logical perspective(in a light hearted way) and hoping that you will see my point.

[ruchir]

And I can guarantee that this thread will not turn into another fight BECAUSE it is about GC, not SG....    

[dextrous]

And I can guarantee that this thread will not turn into another fight BECAUSE it is about GC, not SG....    

And doesn't involve anyone's itchy balls.

[kban1]

flute,

I saw your point but what if someone took the same approach but said a few nasty things about GC (in the manner of Ruchir's thread having at least one not so pleasnt comment about SG)--then things would have gotten nasty.

Someone other than proloy may have done so or could still do so --thats my point.

[Aloo Kashmiri Ul Haq]

HOW DARE YOU MAKE FUN OF A PERSON WHO IS TRYING SO HARD TO BE LIKE US INDIANS. APART FROM GOING VEGETARIAN AND LEARNING BHANGRA HE ALSO PREPPED HIMSELF ON TAMING ANIMALS SHAME ON YOU PEOPLE

oh blasphemy, dex, is this statement something which can be used at an indian household dinner table?

Ruchir and Dex are using the Bollywood strategy of cat fights to get DGians to be more active BRAVO!

You want me to reply to this one??? I will give you one chance to reply.

Come on Flute, how is this a perfect reply? No mention of GC's affairs, no mention of his anatomy, his bathroom needs, no references to faked injuries, political connections and so on. It's a reply, but far from perfect

kban1, when will it turn nasty? when someone abuses or calls names or uses abusive language, right? that is when moderation comes into picture, right?

kban1, my point is, as a  DG community we should not be sensitive to GC or RD or SG's sensitivities, only personal attacks are off limits, if not a lot of things said on this DG will become invalid, we have so many stand up comedians in USA making fun, abusing even US president, all that is not banned, right?. there is no end to it if we allow that logic, where does it end? I can be sensitive to anything and ask for a thread to be locked down. for each and every issue, we cannot consider every damn member's perpective and react accordingly. We have to go by rules and not by feelings. The rules are supposed to take care of the feelings, not each individual application of these rules. Really, indians gotta learn to laugh at themselves and be more chill..look at the most extreme comedy hurled at US president day in and day out, noone bats an eye lid..thats the way to go IMO.

but prfsr , proloy is leading the way, why don't you follow suit and incorporate your ideas into it..oh sorry, you just did 

on the whole, I think pro-GC guys are more chill,fun loving and easy going and SG fans come across as more uptight and more sensitive  because very few pro-GC guys are really die hard fans of GC..

Ah generalization buddy not all SG fans whin for attention knaw mean?
Btw, I am pro-RD the player not RD the captain is a follower not a leader
GC is a dictator with personal biases
1. Players cannot comment on their fellow team members
2. Middle fingers can be shown to the fans

Agree agree agree!! At least the latter.

Flute, why shuld personal attacks be off limits? I dont care if someone wants to accuse me based on what they know of me. I am not insecure enough to feel threatened by any lame posts which do this. We dont see each other face to face and except for a small percentage, the rest of us dont even know each other's last names. What personal attacks can anyone launch based on this info? This is what I have always suggested. What if someone abuses Bengal? (BTW, abusing commies, the Bengal CM, SG, Rupaji etc are not the same as abusing the whole of Bengal though sustained attacks of such kinds may later be deduced as being anti-Bengali!!)? Why do a lot of people lose sleep over it? I still cant figure it out. And for those who may ask me how I would react if Kerala was abused: well, try that and I'll kill you

I don't care what GC is or is not..I was just provoking SG fans..thats all, being progressive and being supporters of the new, confident and energetic India, pro GC folks have more self assurance to take humour/abuse aimed at GC without any probs..Dex & blwe, you listening?  

example no matter what is said about Gc, I am not offended, for all we know, maybe some of it is true too, I am not his fan and he is not my personal friend, what's the big deal. my reason for support to his decision as coach are that in my opinion it will help Indian team.

So the India post Natwest trophy wasn't new, confident and energetic? be as honest as possible in answering this question. What was more to write about? Our performance in all forms of the game post Natwest trophy until WC 2003 or the "GC regime"?
and let me correct my earlier statement I am not a fan of any player but a fan of the team and a person like GC to me seems to be thinking India to be a RDB lead cast, I don't think we Indians can endure any form of radical change but that's my view

DY, yes India post Natwest trophy was new, confident and energetic, but the processes were not in place 

[Cover Point]

Yaar these Gangulk guys are too lame. Theek se insult karna bhi nahin aata,. Let me try to help them

Proloy add thse to the points

1) GC Dropped Pathan because he did not like the way Pathan was handling his balls (neither in nor out... swing yaar.. dutty mind)
2) VRV was dropped to be able to help GC digest the vegan crap that he eats. One look at VRV and GC runs to the bathroom.

Would have added more but I really have to go now!

Ganguly Sues Tabloid For Itchy Balls Comment
by Hu Mangus-Fallis, The Telegraph

An outraged Sourav Ganguly has hit back on claims by the The Moon that he has itchy balls and has sued the tabloid for the amount of 20 Rupees.

The scandal erupted following speculation on online discussion groups and ever since has been a major irritant for Ganguly. When asked to comment Ganguly replied, "They cannot get away with this - it is slander". This is in complete contrast to the millions of times he has said "I will prove them wrong at the crease."

Crease or no crease Ganguly has been caught with his pants down according to The Moon. When told about the lawsuit that Ganguly plans to deliver against them, Mr. Rupert Forsythe-Jones said "He will not see one new paise."

In the past several batsman have been alleged to have itchy balls at the crease. Most famously Sachin Tendular is known for hitting scintillating centuries while suffering from itchy balls. "I am not sure what it is...but my wife tells me that my strokes are more effective (when suffering from itchy balls)"

Several have protested to this discussion on Ganguly's condition. "It is not appropriate for dinner time conversation" was the most common repsonse from the masses. Apparently it has not been excluded from conversations at  water-coolers, public parks, locker rooms and presidential suites.

When asked what should be done in such circumstances, an unidentified Indian graduate student in San Diego had the best response. "Everybody's gets an itch sometimes, whether it is the seven year itch or the itchy balls. You just have to scratch that itch and move on.

Jiet,
ROFLMAO!!!!

You are talented, maan...do something with it to make a good career out of it. And, when u become a hot shot comedian, do remember us from this DG!

[ThankYouChappel]

jiet! Applause!

Jiet has stated what I wanted to say.. Hey guys, what the f***.. Who gives a damn whether anyone says what as long as it doesnt sound sensless or one liers and literal abuse.. I dont care whether someone says "Chappel sucks RD" .. psot after post.. who cares.. I only care if it is a straight fight occurs among DG chaps when they go on after each other without the cricket part in context.. By the way, I would add a pont --

1) GC dropped Pathan because "Pathan wanted to f*** Sehwag's wife and HS wanted to have a sneak peak.." GC got the best solution to upgrade the team morale. However Pathan and Bhajji have become used to the habbit and are underperforming to stay on the bench. Nice move but went wrong.. and what if Sehwag comes to know about it...   Drop GC.

I will remember how cool all of you are, next time someone starts complaining about feeling hurt or persecuted. Enjoy your party but do watch what you're saying about other members.

There you go generalizing again. How many of the sensitive uptight die-hard SG-fans did you read in that thread Ruchir created? How many of them actually said that they had any problems with it? I think kban counted 18 SG fans or thereabouts in the DG. Again, how many did you count before making such generalizations?

PS: I have reported you to CP for name calling  Okay, have not done it yet, but I am thinking about it.  "uptight" is not suitable for dinner conversation at my household (especially when I eat dinner alone).

jiet
lol great post, applause.

i for one think that this is the best combination india could have had given the circumstances (wrt the bowling selection) its a different matter that they have managed to score handsomely in the first two days and heres to india not succumbing under the pressure of a big first innings score.

[pieterSAN]

Jiet - how about doing a Test Match Report along the same lines 

Gee...that is a good idea! 

Unfortunately, I have not spent much time watching this Test. I felt a little put off by the umpiring...Add the weather factor and it seems unlikely that we will see a result.

Anyways, if I do catch te action tomorrow then I will try to come up with something.

prfsr , I din't count, just simply felt like generalizing and I did, now its upto you to defend just like I been doing for the better part of last 2 days from attacks from SG fans 

btw, I am offended at your eagerness to get offended. I will report you to Ruchir. BTW, the standard is not everyone's household, we go by what happens at Ruchir's household as Dex, the Mod suggest officially. By that logic, you are not supposed to report me.

Sorry Dex, unfair comment about a good member of this DG. Not befitting a Mod. Toney's always been a good balanced debator on this DG. Did he ever give you any chance to warning(friendly or othertise  ) or ban?
