Shame on BCCI !!!

Two greats retiring in the same series, I hope you know who I am talking about. Greats who have carried the torch of Indian Cricket for over a decade now. Taking retirement in the same series will be a sudden loss and it will take a lot of time to fill their boots.

First of all talking about Ganguly, Respectful exit is what he had deserved but the rich and powerful BCCI entangled in all kinds of politics ruined his career. He was first removed from captaincy then from the team, But Ganguly was not the one who would be boggled down by this. He proved that if a man wills he can break the shackles of money and politics. He returned to gain much more respect.

Secondly, Kumble a man of honour, a man of true sportsman spirit. 19 years and not a single controversy. Astonishing isn't it. There is nobody in the entire BCCI who can point fingers on him. Always given 100% sometimes with success and sometimes without. Feels really bad to hear him retiring.

BCCI, the governing cricket body of India rather cricket screwing body of India are planning to retire the greats, there is no objection on retiring them but why all at once? why in a way that will put anybody to shame. These seniors deserve some respect give them that.

On top of all that, there is media which believes in cooking up stories and sensationalizing them. Some of them being so cheap that i feel ashamed to even mention them. AAJ TAK is one of the channels which belives in this policy. Have they forgotten what the journalism school had taught them? I would be really interested in knowing the education backgroud of the people running the show @ AAJ TAK. Keeping the criticism on sensationalising aside, They should atleast respect people who have done so much for cricket in the country.

A real bad day for Indian cricket where the players are being treated as scapegoats of the politics around money rich BCCI. Please spare the cricketers atleast for the sake of the SPIRIT OF CRICKET which is feeding your children's stomach rather your expensive cars fuels.
I salute SAURAV GANGULY and ANIL KUMBLE for the entertainment they have provided and the level of cricket they have exhibited. GOD please make some more cricketers like these from your factory so that we dont lose the game of cricket.
