Doors not closed for Ganguly: Dravid (from HTCricket)

A wise man once said - "You can fool some of the people all the time, all the people some of the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."

Mr. Rahul Dravid, I'm afraid, has either forgot this saying, or he is just trying to act smart by portraying an image of a real (!!!) captain who thinks of the good of Indian Cricket. On the inside, he plays a different role, the role of a "yesman" to the main plotter, and on the outside? Hah. Where were you Mr. Dravid, when the chairman of the selectors boasted that whatever happens, even if Mr. X keeps scoring runs in the domestic cricket, we are not going to think about him...

Why didn't you protest, Mr. Dravid?

Legend sees a dream crushed

Legend sees a dream crushed - from iCNewcastle

Ten years ago, this man turned down the likes of Manchester United to join his hometown club, Newcastle United. He waited ten long years to win a trophy with Newcastle - and at the end of this summer, he will retire with none. People feel sorry for him, but I don't.

Alan Shearer may not have won a trophy with Newcastle United, but what he has won is possibly the greatest trophy in the world. He has won the hearts of millions with his passion, accountability and skill. And that in my view supersedes all trophies. There will be countless football stars with their cabinets full of trophies, but many of them will not have this possession to be proud of. My four year old son, even though he does not know anything about football, pretends to be "Alan Shearer" when he is playing with his friends. That tells a lot about how people here thinks about this man.

I salute him...

I hope that these fundamentalists and religious bigots never get back the ground again.
