Boria and BCCI Burst

When anything served in a very aristocratic way then that would end only in disaster. This we find Boria Majumdar, who used make use of all adjectives to praise Team India and slow down when the team lost it out disastrously.  This we have seen after the 2011 World cup and continued unabated until recently before Times giving pink slip to the agitated commentator.  Cricket is Gentleman's game and we need to a liberal outlook rather than just showering praise on your favourite side all the time.  Other countries are also performing well at the highest level and that too without fixing on home conditions and winning overseas series also. It is a matter of great concern that Boria made Board and the Indian players demi-God and now find a wrong foot and getting ousted. BCCI ended the career with a masterstroke on this occasion and we could not hear a heavy voice always at the pitch of the voice shouting for nothing. It is better to be a freelancer as I did for the last 42 years giving my bold and purposeful comments on the fall out of Indian cricket time and again.  Boria chose a wrong way and now paying heavy price for complacency.  That was how a historian did not find the name in the news channel and pushed out even without a Thank You.  It would indeed be in the interest of all parties involved and transparency in journalism if official communications would lay all speculation to rest.  Indian cricket is full of controversy as we saw even we saw South Africa's Logat was suspended then the likes of Boria Majumdar is nothing against the Board of Cricket Controversies in India.  Missing Boria Majumdar blurred my favourite news channel.  What a a pity for a historian?

BCCI on the dock

The seven match one day series between India and Australia reached an interesting stage as the Aussies have established lead from the start and play according to Indian conditions.  Perhaps, a few seasons of IPL cricket helped them a lot in adjusting to the climatic conditions and the low bounce in our pitches very well.  Both Ranchi and Cuttack matches were washed out resulting in Aussies lead the series.  Even Rain Gods seems to be against the Board for having made an attempt to keep things under control in the matter of pitch, its umpires and even the commentators.  Now everything have gone awry and not it is survival to save the series. We opened up controversy from the word go in appointing BCCI commentators.  After all the hype and the hush up, the series is interestingly poised and if Australia win one more match it is curtains for Team India in the remaining two matches.  Thus the bossing around by BCCI may not yield much fruit.
