And let THEM know we are watching and we are not abashed to stick up for these folks. Read my comments. It happened to Utpal Chatterjee and a lot of others. Let it not happen to more. @Ashok: We need to make our vigilance clear and fair so that decent people do not buy into this injustice.

This is the best article I have read on SG's comeback. It celebrates excellence, and I fail to understand some of the criticisms that seem to focus on comparisons. @Suzi, Ranjan: Yes, we need to highlight seemingly baffling exclusions. Ever wondered whether the lack of representation of East Zone in the national cricketing contingent is sympotamtic of a greater malaise in the system? Budget allocations, for instance? @GB: Indeed a fairy-tale return, one only a prince can script. This is the best article I have read on SG’s comeback.

And please, Mamatadi is a self seeking politician and will do nothing that's not in her self interest. She couldn't care for Ranadeb Bose or for that matter, Dada. @Suzi: Yes we should do something, which is what we are doing: we should write and flood the blogspace that we are aware of the injustice and we have noted it: we can act just like the Jewish Defense League — it cannot eradicate anti-Semistism, but can highlight it where it sees it overtly so at least decent folk don’t fall into it; similarly we can highlight this and show that we are vigilant.

I do not doubt that and that’s what baffles me. So what is stopping this talented player from being in the national team is a question which definitely needs to be pondered. I am a laymen in this issue, but is it that the powerful lobbyist are not representing the region? Cricket is the game of money and power, so what is making our region lack that or is it something else? Iam not saying that the selectors are free of any kind of prejudice, but to hold that as an absolute reasoning is a logical fallacy or so I believe. One more thing I do have to add is that Iam a probashi Bengali, and all the years I had been watching cricket , it never occurred to me that why there was not a single player representing the eastern region before Sourav until I started reading GB’s blog ofcourse? Hey, why don’t we all do something – write Ranadeb’s name and injustice on a big red flag and wave it in front of our Mamata Di, the bull that she is, will start running after that issue leaving alone the Singur issue and let the CM bring some money into the state. @RC

Recognition trickling in. But still nowhere near the WC 30. @Suzi: Don't you think there's a point to be pondered here. @yourfan2, GB: Ranadeb has just won the Ceat tyres Domestic Cricketer of the Year award, Manoj Tiwary the Domestic Batsman of the Year award.
