BCCI at it again...

Like the bottomless coke offer, BCCI has a bottomless incompetence offer to the cricket followers of the country. First of all to schedule the country's premier domestic contest from Monday to Friday takes extraordinary vision and meticulous planning...really! Then to have two teams from where the country's 2 best batsmen hail, making it to the finals was a real blessing and the ideal trump card needed for marketing the game on a grand scale. But how can we expect BCCI to have foresight and schedule the matches in such a way that it doesn't clash with the all important net practice before a crucial test against the all conquering B'ladesh! Really when did we start expecting such professionalism from our beloved BCCI...

BTW anyone's money still on K'nataka? What if Manish Pandey rises to the occasion in the fourth innings?

Is this the same old Aavishkar Salvi (the almost Mcgrath!) playing for Mumbai again? Where was he absconding all this while?

What's about my blogs that motivates people so much - first it was Dhoni, then Bhajji, now the almost Mcgrath???

When will Agarkar retire?

Is the pitch at "Gangothri Glades" the best in the country today?

The most heart-warming aspect of this classic in progress is this comment by a cricinfo follower:
"Darshan: “Update From Mysore – My colleague just got back to office from the Gangotri glades & said the ground is jam packed with lots of Buzz, Hats off to the curator for making such a CRICKET FRIENDLY PITCH!" (I got this from Prem Panicker's blog)

If on a weekday somewhere in Mysore without any of the star players, good quality cricket can generate this kind of a following, imagine what could have been if BCCI had any bit of sense in them to fittingly host this most important match of our premier domestic tournament...But then, do we expect any better from BCCI? I order a hostile takeover of BCCI with immediate effect...
