Post of the Week
"No one can doubt Sachin's class and contributions to the Indian team.
But as of now I am afraid he is just hanging on. Most Indian cricketers
have been selfish for their personal milestones starting from the great
Gavaskar to Sachin to Azhar and Sourav. Very few like Srikanth, Sidhu
and maybe Sehwag are not. Even Dravid who is unselfish was very
insecure, cynical and selfish in the Ganguly issue. That was perhaps
because he was so tired of playing the second fiddle to Sachin, Sourav
and Laxman that he wasn't ready to let go of his new found reign over
the team even if it meant being a sycophant to someone like Chappell.
Regarding the exclusion of Sachin, I don't see it happening because he
is in the good books of Chappell. Sourav was straight forward and
audacious and Chappell had personal issues with him. He wanted an
obedient captain but the same yardstick won't be applied in case of
Sachin. As long as the team does well there won't be any problems.
The likes of Yuvraj, Raina and Dhoni are hiding the failures of bigwigs
like Sachin and Sehwag."

CWD Editor's Corner
Does Ganguly matter anymore? --By Ranja
"Life has a cruel way of catching up with you and demoting you from the
lofty heights of the Captain's seat to obscurity. It can be even
worse when the demotion is accentuated by certain factions' hell bent
on not adhering to the cricketing etiquette. A run of low scores
doesn't help the cause either and certainly precipitated the demise
of a player once heralded as the saviour of Indian cricket.
Reminders have a purpose. Ganguly's sole purpose, however, after the
ignominious fall from grace was to remind any one who bothered to
listen that he is a cricketer of worth and has over 15,000 runs under
his belt. Suffice to say that irrespective of what he may be actually
worth for all his troubles, these runs will never desert him in the
statistician's almanac. Neither can anyone discount his contributions
towards Indian cricket. Even the staunchest anti-Gangulite would find
it daunting to claim that Indian cricket team were not beneficiaries of
his contributions.
Critics, and there are dime a dozen in every nook and corner of the
world, would gripe against the resurrection of someone disbanded to
history books and it would appear, on the face of it, that any gesture
to tinker with this assumption would be tantamount to serious affray.
As night follows day, the selectors seem to have stressed in no
uncertain terms that the inevitable cause of happenings has followed
its rightful course in eliminating Ganguly from the core. "

Poet's Corner
The little paper boats I made as a kid,
Those little trinkets that I would build,
Had a story well concealed.
Little did I realize them as a child...
I would leave these paper boats afloat
In those shallow waters I would frequent
And would clap and scream at the sight
Of those boats that sailed gently down the route.. read more..
