Plum, you have made me carefully read and thoroughly appreciate this Andy Flower.

Flower said. "I'm not annoyed. I think it's quite sad. He's very clear about what he wants to do, so that's his choice.

"I just thought that after you've retired from sport and you look back at your career he might think: 'Crikey, I wish I'd taken part in more World Cups and helped win the 2015 World Cup with England.' They are great memories and I think it's a little sad he won't get those opportunities anymore.

"Kevin was due to be rested for this one-day series with the West Indies. But I don't think resting him for the Australian one-day series and South African one-day series was an option. These are two of the best cricketing nations in the world and we want to put out strong sides against them."

There is also the status of ODI cricket, not only in this country but over the world, to take into consideration and when making these policy decisions you have to consider the precedents. And if that policy encourages five or six other top class international players to retire from international one-day cricket, you are degrading the status of ODI cricket in this country and the world.

I think there's very limited influence I have on the schedule. The schedule is tough, there's no doubt about that. If you have been involved in that over a period of time it's tough. My job is to try and manage it as well as possible.

Quote:

We're fairly honest with each other and I think we have quite a good working relationship. I hope he can really enjoy the years of Test cricket that are ahead of him

'hope' - eppadi perfectA use paNNi irukkAn paarunga :rotfl:

Pakistan :rotfl2: chokey chase..would have Proteas proud

WI all out for 172 and England go 1 up in the series...

Ramdin - unnecessary fine. Just let players express, nah? Needless to say, Broad could brandish a note calling Yuvraj a ****, and it would be laughed off as a prank. Basically, in a few years time, player punishment statistics will be paraded to show that England is the Fairplay Trophy winner, too, or second only to New Zealand. nAdhArithanam as usual. Australians dont compete for that particular trophy - about the only trophy that doesnt have them literally stake their life for.

Flower - "Hope he enjoys his micha socham cricket life that is left" - That is NOT a statement. That is a THREAT. One of these days, this conversation will happen

Unselected. You answer with your bat. It is not how you behave on a field.
And I am hearing all kinds of support: he was not using bad weards, so let him be etc. That only goes to show how 'accepting' people have become. It is like people who cut and overtake from the left side of the road, or drive with full blunding high-beam - it is so common now, that people don't even recognize it is wrong. Nobody has taught them it is wrong and they are still exceeding their brief. If you stop and ask they'll be like "what is there?".

It felt good to get that hundred, especially after the observations of the august Sir.Viv. Nevertheless I hope, I have not inadvertently made him feel constrained from expressing his predictions in the future future.

Broad paththi kELvi kEkka dhAn kEppOm. Look, if BCCI gave importance to this matter, and arranged for non-sub continent players to be more punished for their misdeeds while letting sub continentals scot free, I will be posting exactly like you. The boot is on your foot, so you can speak all magnanimously now

I particularly liked this:

because KP had expressed interest in playing for the 2015 WC.
And then promptly retired from OneDays. So Flower is essentially taking a shot at him for his flip-flop.

IPL career-ai prolong paNRadhukkAga Test/ODI career-ai sacrifice paNRa ovvoruththanaiyin avinga board ippadi etti udhaichchA manasukku konjam kuLirchchiyA irukkum.

Plum, Flower is not bothered about ODIs. If England had a successful T20 leak, and if people quite ODI careers for it, he'd not mind (appadinnu patchi solludhu).
But right now, it is true that there is a risk of people quitting ODIs to play IPL. So FLower is putting it across that "there is a reason for that clause" and "we are interested in ODIs etc.".

Sir. Viv has predicted ENgland will dominate top cricket for a while.
yOv, Ramdin prediction mAdhiri aachchu, naanum oru note kAttuvEn..jockradhai.

Sending out Pietersen is a loss for England only. Orae oru Vengala Kinnam(2010 World T-20) Vandhadhe avanala than.

THisara Perera hatrick against pakistan :shock: ... 1 over 4 wickets 0 runs when pakistan needed 68 from 56 balls ... Only Pakistan possible :notworthy:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jEHU...eature=related

All the wickets in the hattrick were from poor shots...Pakistan should have gotten home comfortably if they had played sensibly... Just Abysmal cricket

Sir Viv's interview with Nasser, good read

The questions reveal a lot about usanbhai no? :lol2:

On the Denesh Ramdin kostin he seemed to be saying: indha matter-la unga total reaction ivvaLO dhaanA :lol:

Viv: No, no. He’s not in my weight class.

:lol: Nass could have digged more on the race angle which was a touchy subject then...when Tony Greig triggered it he took his game to different level...wish they released the 'Fire in Babylon' in theaters here :neutral:

Pakistan losing it ....Mathews playing beautifully

RIP Tom Maynard, Surrey County player and a future England hopeful. Died today in unfortunate circumstances. My condolences to his family and friends.

I think it was suicide! He was hit by District line tube, as you know there is no Railway crossings for underground train. SO it has to be suicide :(

Telegraph profiles Seenu maama

At a recent count Srinivasan sat on more than 70 boards, not least the ICC’s executive board – the biggest decision-making board in cricket – as India’s president. How does he find the time? Simple. Everybody comes to him.

When the ICC’s constitution committee had to meet, they went to Chennai. This year’s IPL final was staged in Chennai. Last year’s IPL final was staged in Chennai. The last Champions League final was staged in, of all places, Chennai. Yes, we are talking about the most powerful person in cricket.

edhu eppo..thot it was BCCI who were not keen on int. t-20s

Quote:

---

Haroon Lorgat used to own that title. As the ICC’s chief executive, he kept India at bay, emphasised the importance of Test cricket and stopped T20 taking over the world.

---

can't remember BCCI ever asking for a IPL window :confused2:

Quote:

---

Now, into the vacuum created by Lorgat’s departure from the ICC, Srinivasan is about to step. As the president of the Indian board, he will have the most influential voice in selecting the first ICC chairman, after the split between a president who waves the flag and a chairman who makes the decisions.

Should he himself be the first ICC chairman, or someone he can trust, someone who will give the IPL a seven-week window in the international calendar, unlike Lorgat? Then along comes this spot of bother, which might be related to the fact that the ruling party in Tamil Nadu, which Srinivasan has backed for years, is now in opposition.

low blow

Quote:

---

It doesn’t end there. A family feud is erupting. Srinivasan, who is 67, has a son, Ashwin, 43, who recently told a Mumbai newspaper that he is gay and claimed that he has been subject to ‘constant mental and physical torture’ by his father.

Ashwin was arrested last month after a late-night bar-room brawl in Mumbai and detained overnight. He alleges this arrest, followed by police harassment, was arranged by his father. He is rumoured to have secrets to reveal that will launder the family’s dirty linen in public…

Bad timing, indeed. In a cold June in England, however, we do need something to divert us from all the rain.

I read that he was stopped by the police, got out of his car and started running. Maybe alcohol was involved, no other explanation why he ended up on the train tracks. Unless like you said it was suicide. I watched him on TV a few times, very good player, would be definitely been in the England squad in a few years time. :(

May he was "Drink Driving" , that would ecplain the reason for running away from the cops.

Gayle gets fifty :clap: other end-la Simmons mokkai pOttufying...konjam azhuthuppa :evil:

drunken driving - to escape from cops he ran into a underground train?

1. drunken driving - the maximum they would do is cancel the DL (if he has done any serious damage, that would have been in news already)
2. escaping from the police, he ran into the underground train? (by running into the underground station and jumping infront of the speeding train? is it like, he wanted to commit suicide to escape from cancelling his driving licence? or while he was just running away from cops he accidentally jumped in front of the train?)

It depends on the amount of Alcohol in your blood at the time of breath test is conducted at the scene, Police then take the person to the station to do further test, and if the person is 5 times over the legal limit then you can get up to 2 years in prison!

Gayle storm is sweeping Ingeend ! Come on Gayle ! :clap:
