Can't blame him. Would you trust a tattoo clad showman with a SR of 150 over a clean cut Rahane with a SR of 115?

I think for now he is satisfied because that slot went to Iyer who is also from Mumbai.

 

As much as I love to see youngsters with potential getting a shot...how did Iyer move ahead of the pecking order over Rahul

 

@Vilander Mumbai Lobby???

No that would change the process already in place. That's a no-go

Gavaskar is the biggest sell out i have seen in history of any game.

Most extreme position Mr.Gavaskar has ever taken in commentary box is during Sydney test 2008 while criticizing the umpires and the Aussies, which even a person with half decent knowledge could see.

In other instances, he is heard mumbling on the fumbles and stupidity of the likes of Hanuma Vihari in the IPLs.

Paisa sab bolta hai, isliye bade-bado ki bhi bolti band hai.

Look at other commentators of almost his age Botham, Ian Chappell, Holding, Bob Willis, Barry Richards, David Gower and just ponder what technical insights does he provide to the viewers.

Regarding Harsha, if he stops behaving like a Justin Bieber fan girl while commentating he can be tolerated to some extent.

Other than him who else the BCCI have got- Sunny, Manjrekar, Sivaramkrishnan, VVS, Arun lal, M. Kartik

Gavaskar the boot licker, not at all surprised. 

[Turning_track]

Would gladly send him, he won't make any difference. The most he can do is flatter current and former players while interviewing.

It's just the cricketing culture in these 2 countries which has been like that, India producing great batsman and Pakistan producing great bowlers.

If you really need to pick up the secret for batting, then guys like Pravin Amre will help make a big difference at the fundamental level.

While I agree with 90% of your post about Sunny being biased and a stooge who takes the high road ,I have to say when he actually puts all the BS aside and speaks about the intricacies  of the game ,I think he is one of the best minds out there.

 

I remember in the 90s when he tore Alan Wilkins to shreds when he was commentating with him on an English county game I was watching on star sports which has still stuck with me to this day...I don’t quite remember who the batsman was but Sunny was quiet impressed with his footwork  and then Alan Wilkins pointed out how Alan Lamb had previously criticized the batsmen’s stance. 

 

Sunny retorted something like “has Alan lamb seen his stance before commenting on others” and gave insight on why the guy batting was good and in the zone...it was like poetry...Wilkins just shut the hell up and listened to the master speak.

 

Most times we give too much credit to the firangs because to be fair some of them do have a lot of showmanship and then you add  the fancy accent and the grip on the language that their forefathers spawned.

 

However when it comes to technicalities of the game I have no doubt Sunny is one of the best out there.

 

Unfortunately he is a stooge,biased,obsessed with stats and a pussy which is a shame and very very sad as he is one of the greatest cricketers ever to play the game.Also to

add one of the best cricketing minds.

Monga: Clock ticking on Dhoni, the T20 finisher

Agarkar probably has an axe to grind also since he never got picked for ODIs or T20s since June-2007 ..around the same time when Dhoni took white ball captaincy 

 

However, I do agree that time is up for Dhoni atleast in T20s ..Rishabh Pant needs to get a look-in  .For now, Dhoni did well in SL ODI series . However, it seems team mamangement do not want to give a look in to Pant as if hev succeeds, pressure on Dhoni's ODI spot  will also increase.

When Harsha is unemployed he'll then have something in common with most posters on this site

[Texy]

Ya I heard that part while watching highlights..it was so cringeworthy...SUNNY G the politician he is....tried to ans it carefully by sidestepping first then coming back and saying Dhoni should be at #5...lol always worried abt his own paycheck...

[LORD_analyst]

lol

My Respect for Harsha has gone up. He might act like teenager during commendatory box, but atleast he is not being like one outside unlike some greats of the game who are acting like sell outs.
