With so much Media and transparency, nothing seems to be changed with selection

[gakgupta]

For Chris sake, what in the world made Stuart binny worth playing for a good cricketing nation like INDIA. Ohh yeah, answer is very simple "Son of the selector". He is a very moderate player with limited abilities. It's a shame that he made it into the INDIA side. Even if selectors are looking for medium pace allrounders, Rishi Dhwan is miles ahead of him...

Very starnge how our so called great free media with 6 billion news channels stay totally silent and dont a utter word. Not one word utterd about rhiti sports etc in our great media. Odd

[I6MTW]

Because there are more important things to cover than cricket. UP govt is partying while children are dying, Indian diplomat is treated badly etc.

"cox BCCI will stop their accreditation and 1.5-2 min clip for news channels if they say anything ..remember the row with Getty Images for photos last year when all news agencies did not carry any photos of Ind-Eng test series and were forced to make do with cartoons/caricatures:whack:

yes that explains why the deafening silence from our fair and free media

[ThePhenomenal1]

no question of dhoni's captaincy, though ibn did ask srikanth and he was typical in response..

[saneindian]

Media doesn't highlight such cases? Dhoni's Rhiti conflict of interest coverage https://www.google.co.in/search?q=dhoni+rhiti+sports+conflict+of+interest&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&gws_rd=cr&ei=pd_CUpO7MuyUiQf2v4GADg Both print and electronic media were on this issue for weeks.

[saneindian]

It will help to watch the Cricket Shows to see how much Dhoni, Fletcher, BCCI get panned after defeats. Sometimes the voice over used, the narrative etc are nauseating. Like of Ganguly, Kumble, Maninder, Ashok Malhotra, Chetan Sharma etc have always been critical of the BCCI/Dhoni if the team hasn't done well.

Leagues better than Cheeka and co.

Actually maybe not. It's the first time an Indian selector has picked his son for the national squad. Cheeka picked Anirudha only for India A.

[The Outsider]

I hope Dhoni calls the bluff and does not hand Binny an international debut. Everyone, including the Binnys, knows that the guy is not cut out for international cricket and has been pushed in only to rake in the IPL money. From $50,000 the guy will immediately jump to $300,000. Though if Sreeni is involved, Dhoni will be forced to play him. Mohit Sharma has already made his killing. Will easily go for $400,000 in the next auction.

They will select every tom dick and harry but not uthappa

not even that emerging players tournament

[fineleg]

not even that emerging players tournament

Yep we thought that anirudh emerging players nepotism was bad enough. This binny stuff is apalling - main Indian team national squad - how can such blatant nepotism not be shredded to pieces in media?

[skindia]

even rohan Gavaskar played for india....arjun Tendulkar will also play some day even irrespective of he possesses talent or not

[fineleg]

^ but sunny was not a selector at that time Roger binny selector is huge red flag

[goose]

India has always liked to keep it the family whether it be politics, bollywood or cricket.

[Trundler27]

even rohan Gavaskar played for india....arjun Tendulkar will also play some day even irrespective of he possesses talent or not

We are looking for a left arm 'fast' bowler to replace Zak soon aren't we? so Arjun will of course make it Jokes apart, we can't hope for much better with the mafia that is running indian cricket.... we are lucky that quite a bit of genuine world class talent still makes it to the playing 11 otherwise we would be struggling to compete with teams like WI, SL, and Bang.
