Shastri's soft corner
Ravi Shastri is trying for a higher post in BCCI as he praise Board members for nothing. He is trying step out of the crease when he was playing and played Chapati shot most of the time. And now he is trying to jumps out to drive to please the Board members The man who once hit six sixes in an over was at his slamming best while delivering the 5th Dilip Sardesai Memorial Lecture to a distinguished audience at the Bombay Gymkhana. During playing days he was a slow starter in International matches and that made others to go for runs and sacrifice their wickets for the sake of the team whereas Shastri was just a pusher and plodder. So, the Board game continues and the members of the Board are in a fix and the spot fixing charges and Sachin Tendulkar's extended stay in the team upset the balance of the team. Just to make him pleased we avoided a hostile series against Steyn and Co of South Africa and play against a weak West Indies side and that too at our backyard. How Sharad Pawar faltered in the Lalit Modi IPL scandal is now an open secret and still Shastri is showering praise on Sharad Pawar. The former all-rounder, who is now also a member of the IPL governing council, named former BCCI chief Shashank Manohar as the Best in BCCI. Again, N Srinivasan is on soup after his son-in-law caught by MumbaiPolice for fixing is also a good soul for Shastri. Shastri defended present head N Srinivasan too blindly. If Srinivasan is a genuine sports lover he ought to have quit the post of President till the inquiry is over. Thus Shastri is playing second fiddle to Srinivasan. Shasti is in no way to comment about umpire Decision Review System (DRS) as he is not an International Umpire. The DRS was not giving the chance of survival while batting and in bowling we were not getting dubious decisions to cheat the opposition at home. DRS has taken the confidence of all the nine countries playing test cricket and the umpires. Only Shastri as a spokesperson of BCCI is having problems with UDRS. Thus, Ravi Shastri should read in between lines of the laws of cricket to come to a conclusion rather than just rebutting Decision Review System. Shastri is totally biased there is no doubt it.
