Our owners don't have the guts for repeated knocks. And this year, if the pompous owners have another losing year, they may decide to exit this business once and for all. When a sham like SRK criticises Gavaskar, you know that all sense of proportion has vanished.

Just set up a board with all 5 Captain on it and chance your arm to decide the Captain of the day! In fact Bookies should set up bets on "Captain of the Day" and there could a good deal of profit in it for Buchanan. Oh wait... he isn't as enterprising as the Pakistanis now is he!

When Bengalis praise Rabindranath or Netaji, they are living in the past. When Sourav is admired, its highlighting the so-called only sports star from the state. It amazes me that inspite of captaining the side over the years and effecting a total turnaround in team fortunes and attitudes, every Ganguly action is looked on through the prism of Bengaliness. If Arnab chooses to write about Sourav's sidelining and not Dravid's removal from captaincy, that's bloody his prerogative. As for the anti-Aussie taunt, readers may try to remember the choice epithets John Buchanan has invited from his countrymen, some, like Shane Warne, with more than adequate knowledge of the game. Especially with regard to IPL, regional considerations cannot be removed from consideration. That's the reason behind the city-format. When SRK has tried his utmost to play up the Bengali quotient (as have other teams with their own regions) he should realize that without Dada, his support base will drastically decrease. By the way, I have encountered Dada in person at an event and found him quite unfriendly. But I will always be a fan. Because I've seen what a man, universally written off, can do on the minefields of South Africa when so-called legends of Indian batting were looking flabbergasted. I am proud to be an Indian, a Bengali AND a Dada fan. I don't think being one in any way negates the other. I don’t think Arnab da has to apologize for being a Sourav fan.

I love dada, but this seems like a bit too desperate.
