What does this mean? One rule or Strauss another for Pietersen. idhula obfuscate paNNa enna irukku? apdiyE othukka vENdiyadhu dhAnE? idhula koodavA thayakkam? Enga ellAmE varalarula varumnu carefulA badhil sonnA epdi?

Anyway I don't actually have a problem if there is one standard for Strauss and another for Pietersen. All I am saying is, it has more to do with his IPLness than Kolpakness
And it has got nothing to do with IPL. KP isnt behaving like he should- grateful to the English masters for giving him a chance - apdi irukkaNum, ivan jealous, Nick Knight sari illainellAm publicA pEsaRan. adimayA latchaNamA vaaya moodikittirukkAma. There was a section of English press and board which made him captain then - Ted Corbett and co put the public nomination and somehow he became captain. But the traditional ECB elements brought him down at the first opportunity.
Andy Flowerai poRuththa varaikkin, KP antagonised him by demanding his removal along with Moores when he was captain. ippO samayam pArththu Andy pazhi vAngaRApla.

- as you and Plum are saying, illaiyA? Of course, idhu 'vanjikkappattai veLiyE irundha vandhavanE'-nu solRadhukku ungaLukku oru saans.
Nonsense. This is more to do with cutting KP down to size. As you said, if they had thought so rationally, they would have done this AFTER the T20 world cup. This is a case of their nAdhAri minds jumping ahead of their practical side, and ending up making them do things that they would do more carefully and rationally in another situation.Quote:
If you want to play IPL and thus want to opt out ODIs then sorry boss, you can't play T20s is what they are saying.
Really, if I were in the BCCI, I would use this opportunity to actively try to get KP to play for SA. namma seenu mAma's minions avLO creatively think paNdradhA theriyalai. hmm....
Not at all true. IPL's got nothing to do with it. Where does IPL come in? KP came back to England froM IPL when they needed him. There is no conflict in KP's case between IPL and Country, I mean, international team. England is not his country, is it? Last year also, they took in Morgan right back from IPL into test squad. The fact that they are going ahead despiute the T20 world cup shows how personal vengeance for KP is blidning their eyes. IPL may be culpable only to the extent that KP called England as jealous of IPL.Quote:
And mind ECB has more to lose, trying to defend the T20 title without KP. Yet they are going ahead - and the way I see it - to warn those who may be salivating at playing IPL at the expense of matches for England.
- How despicable! Pehaps, malinga really feels the pain? Perhaps, the chance to make a living with 4 overs per day of matchplay is a Godsend for him? This is ridiculous speculation and gossip against a honest man making his living.Quote:
I have the same sentiments about all. Malinga mEla kooda enakku sandhEgam dhaan.
Typical Anglo Saxon nAdhAri statement. No wonder you liked it I guessQuote:
Regarding Malinga missing out on tests and playing IPL I will have to remark as Flower did when KP returned during the world cup, 'when someone is pain, you don't
now what they are going through. You have to take their word for it'. :lol2: idhu naala dhaan ivanai enakku pudikkudhu :-)
The difference is highlighted in the article itself. Of course the article says, in reality there is no difference because Strauss has not played domestic T20s and is thus in effect saying he is not available for T20s without actually making such a statement. So it is not as if he is not being picked but is actually not available. And so there is no difference between his case and KP's. I see the point. But, since this is something contractual I think 'not actually expressing unavailability' is not something I ignore away easily.
Unselected. You are quick to say such things.Quote:

Disagree. It is a career he wants to prolong at the expense of playing for England. If he wants to spend time with family, why not sit out of IPL and do it? No I want to make money by playing T20 in IPL and then opt out of Eng matches - in formats I am able enough to play as demonstrated by my performance in IPL, is his stance. England doesn't allow him to pick and choose as it can encourage many others youngsters to do the same. indha aLavaavadhu oththukkunga.Quote:

Imagine starting thus: KP says he is in pain; And KP is an honourable man :lol2:
Here is an article by someone quite critical of ECB (considers it worse than BCCI!), who likes KP, acknowledges Flower paaltics etc. and yet feels KP was trying to have the best of all: http://www.thesightscreen.com/post-m...shade-of-grey/
Padichuttu, kOvappadaama, karuththu sollunga.
As I told him on twitter, I found this good reading because my opinion is neither informed or balanced, when it comes to T20s. Palestine will recognize Israel before I recognize T20 as a format. So anything that to undercut T20, its major vehicle IPL, and frustrate players who choose it over playing for their nation - is something I will be hesitant to criticize.
And there is just no doubt whatsoever that England is doing this to 'prove a point'. There is no denying a personal angle to it - cutting KP down to size. But that's surely not all. It is by sending message to all kids out there - Kolpak or otherwise. And England wants to make this point so badly that they are even willing to significantly reduce their chances in ODIs and T20s.Note KP got centuries in his last two ODI matches. IMO it is quite daring of Flower to drop KP now, when he has so much to offer.Anyway, even if KP was dropped after he became a spent force - you guys will say: SAffers-ai sakkaiyA pizhinju thookki veesittAnunga indha bleddy Brits. oNNum prayOjanam illai Krishna.
Your equating 'cutting KP down to size' to 'cutting Saffers down to size' is what I don't buy.

This is why I think Strauss is not the appropriate example. ayyO enakku T20 varaadhunga'nRaan avan. So they are making an exception for him. Unreasonable, on the face of it. But I see the difference. Don't you?
btw I saw a docu about the '81 Ashes and Kim Hughes azhugaachchi press-conference on the flight home last week.

That and Bob Willis' spell hanging by his teeth to even get a chance to play in Leeds and then destroying Aus. Brearley merely changing ends and making him click.

This article makes sense. That the boards are stuck in the past and are arrogant. http://www.legsidefilth.com/?p=693
I totally see his point of view, but I would rather identify with the head-in-the-sand, stuck-in-the-past oldies who will do all they can to scuttle such 'developments'.Quote:
The notion that anyone who plays for a national team should constitute a pliant, forelock-tugging workforce grateful simply to represent their country is outmoded and needs to change, ....... It’s time cricket boards accepted the reality of today’s economic climate and faced the fact that sportsmen will occasionally make decisions based on something other than what is best for Team England.
udanE, 'do you think ECB is a defender of the game'-nu kEkkappadaadhu. They may have their reasons. Here it works for me. That's all.
I dont know much about this series. But he writes in Guardian occasionally and makes a lot of sense - man management ellAm yOsichu senjApla dhAn irukkum - he doesnt claim that but his sense of analysis of psychology of cricketers (een contemporary) sounds a lot sensible. I am inclined to believe in the myth of Mike Brearley.
About Kim Hughes, it seems like Rod Marsh, Lillee, and qutie unsurprisingly, Greg Slipper conspired to make his position untenable and made life hell for him with their attitude in his teams. It is notable that the infamous match in which Lilee and Marsh betted against their own team on the 5th day of the match - and which Australia promptly lost froma winning position - happened during Hughes' captincy.
Imagine how much derision and coutnry-based sarcasm that will evoke if Salman Butt had done it under Misbah? Also, I guess it should have been investigated even closely - the aussie bas***ds (this is not a profanity - this is an aussie term of endearment, remember) got away with murder.
BTW, just a week before, Broad tweeted about the media with some cuss words masked with *s like "bas***rds" or something like that. Nary a word of protest from ECB let alone a fine. ECB have one rule for KP and another for natives. This much is obvious. One has to see how many Saffers (saffer whites) understand this eventually.
Come on - ODI is a dead format. As your friend Mahesh out it - Test Cricket offers legacy; T20 offers money. ODIs have lost relevance. If Bell or Broad or Anderson had the same level of marketeability- they'd do the same. And mark my words, ECB will bend over backwards for them. This will happen int he next 1 or two years - nInga pArkka dhAnE pORInga. (not Necessarily maNi, agalam or adhyilmagan)Quote:
If he wants to spend time with family, why not sit out of IPL and do it? No I want to make money by playing T20 in IPL and then opt out of Eng matches -
This IS the problem. The creme-la-creme would slowly want to move away from ODIs -except perhaps MSD, who is primarily suitable for that format more than any other format. adhanAla dhAn sonnEn - the day SRT and MSD retire from ODIs, that format is dead as a well.. dead duck. Sticking to the letter of the contract might be amusing for you because it suits you but a) ECB will one day do the same nAdhArithanam on things you hold dear just because it suits their politics. Remember at that point - you have no right to complain then. b) It is stupid and self-defeating for ECB.
T20 is a lottery so I dont believe KP enhances England's T20 WC chances - for all we know, England might win the WC again. And/or probably the 2015 ODI WC. But that doesnt change the fact that ECB are being extra ordinarily nAdhAri here and one day, Cricket lovers will pay dearly for encouraging the ECB just becuase it suits them now.

Nope. 'All is fair when you are hurting someone who chooses club-cricket T20 over national colours' 'ngra platform-la dhaan ticket eduththirukkEn. I am not forfeiting my right to complain. Rest assured I will, when things run counter to this.
I know one day England will 'look forward', 'make peace with changing times' or change their stance when things turn convenient for them. naan appadiyE kodi kaaththa kumaran range-ku koLgayai maintain paNNuvEn.

Botham is picked as the captain for the first of the six tests!! Imagine, a home ashes, not even assured of captaining it fully.
Aus win the first easily. Botham is unimpressive.
They pick him to lead the next two. Botham gets a pair. With some rain, they manage to draw the match. 1-0. Aus looking way better, 4 tests to go.
Botham can't take the pressure of being on judgement after each match. He wants an assurance that he be names for the remaining 4 tests. The committee refuses. And - out of the blue - calls Brearley - who has kinda retired and is doing book reviews on BBC!
Brearley is a nothing player. He makes the batting weaker. They have to drop Woolmer to accommodate him in the eleven and the bowling needs to get all the more sharper. They were going to drop Willis - who seems old and ineffective and hasn't played domestic matches. When the news is passed on to him, he kinda pleads for one last chance. Says he didn't play the domestic matches because he wanted to be fit for the tests.
And that is the famous Leeds test. Botham takes a five-for, but sitll Aus put up a good score.
Then England concede huge lead despite Botham getting a fifty. Following on, England still vulnerable. Scorecard flashes a sign saying a bookmaker offers odds of 500-1 for England. That's how hopeless the situ was. Marsh-Lillee bet. (Gideon Haigh's comment to the effect that: it is not a question of integrity, but the sheet stupidity of such a thing. And the complete lack of respect they had for Hughes. They'd never had done that if Chappell was the captain).
And then Botham smashes a 150 batting with Dilley and Chris Old and set a small target. Willis - who was nearly not picked for the game - bags an 8-for and Eng romp home.
Next match Aus still reasonably on top till the last innings, where Botham bags a 5-for and bundles out Aus
Next match is again a Botham-Willis show and Eng win.
Last test Botham bags ten wickets in the draw.
A complete change in mood ushered in by Brearley, who didn't even get a 50 in the 4 matches he played :-)
Yup. ippo kooda Rod Marsh unapologetic-A dhaan pEsuraapla. Not about the incident. He kinda said that was a dumb thing to do. But his refusal to cooperate with Kim. "He was probably a good follower, not a good leader" 'nRa range-la. Outspoken Aussie-yaam. vengaayam.Quote:

Whatay :lol: next time they should plainly refuse to play in ICC knockouts with their history.Quote:
We would like to clarify the Boxing Day Test issue that many fans are upset about; according to the ICC Future tours programme, the Proteas were only ever scheduled to play two Tests against New Zealand. The Boxing Day Test has not been replaced or cancelled in favour of T20 cricket for good, we will have Test matches from the beginning of January. There will be the normal five Tests. The scheduling is just slightly different. We may revert to a Boxing Day Test next season. The fact is that the Proteas have performed very poorly in Boxing Day Tests. The last time they won a Test at Sahara Stadium Kingsmead was against the West Indies in 2008 when the Test was moved to the end of January and the Proteas won easily. We have only won two out of our last 10 Christmas Test matches in South Africa.

இந்திய ரியாலிட்டி ஷோவில் முன்னாள் இலங்கை கிரிக்கெட் வீரர் ஜெயசூரியா நடனம்!
முன்னாள் இலங்கை கிரிக்கெட் அதிரடி துடுப்பாட்ட வீரரும் நாடாளுமன்ற உறுப்பினருமான சனத் ஜெயசூரியா இந்திய ரியாலிட்டி ஷோ ஒன்றில் இந்திய வீரர் ஹர்பஜன் சிங்குடன் சேர்ந்து நடனமாடப் போவதாக தகவல்கள் வெளியாகியுள்ளன.
இலங்கை அணியின் அதிரடி வீரராக களமிறங்கி வந்தவர் சனத் ஜெயசூர்யா (42). கடந்த 1996ம் ஆண்டு இலங்கை கிரிக்கெட் அணி உலக கோப்பை வெல்ல முக்கிய காரணமாக இருந்தவர் ஜெயசூரியா. சிறந்த ஆல் ரவுண்டராக வலம் வந்த ஜெயசூரியா ஒருநாள் போட்டிகளில் 13,430 ரன்களை குவித்து, சிறந்த பந்துவீ்ச்சு மூலம் 300 விக்கெட்களும் வீழ்த்தியுள்ளார்.
1999 முதல் 2003ம் ஆண்டு இலங்கை அணியின் கப்டனாக இருந்த ஜெயசூரியா, 2007ம் ஆண்டோடு டெஸ்ட் போட்டிகளில் இருந்து ஓய்வு பெற்றார். மேலும் 2011ம் ஆண்டோடு ஒருநாள் மற்றும் டுவென்டி 20 போட்டிகளில் இருந்தும் ஓய்வு பெற்றார். ஐபிஎல் தொடரில் மும்பை இந்தியன்ஸ் அணிக்காக சில போட்டிகளில் பங்கேற்றுள்ளார்.
இந்த நிலையில் சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினியின் தீவிர ரசிகரான சனத் ஜெயசூரியாவிற்கு இசை, நடனம் ஆகிய துறைகளில் அதிக ஈடுபாடோ, விருப்பமோ இல்லாதவர் என்று அறியப்பட்டவர். ஆனால் தற்போது இந்திய ரியாலிட்டி ஷோவில் நடனமாட உள்ளதாக தகவல்கள் கசிந்துள்ளன.
சோனி சனலில் ஒளிபரப்பான பிரபல ரியாலிட்டி ஷோ, 'ஜலாக் திக்லா ஜா'. இதில் சின்ன திரையில் வரும் நடிகர்கள், நடிகைகள் இடையிலான நடன போட்டி நடைபெறும். தற்போது இந்த ரியாலிட்டி ஷோவை சோனிக்கு பதிலாக கலர்ஸ் என்ற டிவி சனல் ஒளிப்பரப்பி வருகிறது.
இதில் பாலிவுட் நட்சத்திரங்களான ரேகா, மாதுரி தீட்ஷத், கரன் ஜோகர், ரிமோ டிஷோசா ஆகியோர் நடுவர்களாக தோன்றுகின்றனர். இந்த ரியாலிட்டி ஷோவில் தான் ஜெயசூரியா நடனமாட போவதாக தகவல் வெளியாகி உள்ளது.
சனத் ஜெயசூரியா மற்றும் இந்திய சுழல்பந்து வீச்சாளர் ஹர்பஜன் சிங் இணைந்து நடனமாட போவதாக கலர்ஸ் சனலில் விளம்பரம் வெளியாகி வருகிறது. இது குறித்து நிருபர்கள் ஜெயசூரியாவை தொடர்பு கொண்டு கேட்ட போது, ரியாலிட்டி ஷோவில் நடனமாட ஆர்வமாக உள்ளதாக தெரிவித்தார்.
இது குறித்து அவர் கூறியதாவது,
இந்திய ரியாலிட்டி ஷோவில் நடனமாட நான் மிகவும் ஆர்வமாகவும், உற்சாகமாகவும் உள்ளேன். ஷோவில் சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினிகாந்த்தின் நடனம் அசைவுகளை பின்பற்ற முடிவு செய்துள்ளேன். இந்த ரியாலிட்டி ஷோவில் சிறப்பாக நடனமாடுவேன் என்று நம்புகிறேன். இதற்கான கடும் பயிற்சியில் ஈடுபட்டு வருகிறேன் என்றார்.
ஏற்கனவே கிரிக்கெட் வீரர், இலங்கை நாடாளுமன்ற எம்.பி, போன்ற சிறப்புகளை பெற்றுள்ள சனத் ஜெயசூரியா டிவி நிகழ்ச்சியில் நடனமாடி புதிய துறைக்கு அஸ்திபாரம் போட உள்ளார். ஜெயசூரியாவை கிரிக்கெட் பிட்சில் மட்டுமே பார்த்து வந்த ரசிகர்கள், டிவி நிகழ்ச்சியில் டான்சராக பார்க்க ஆர்வமாக உள்ளனர்.
