Very irresponsible knock by Rishabh Pant in both inn (Ranjji FINALS 2017-18)

I swear to God, the only talent that posters on this forum think have potential in this country are phaast bowlers (regardless of whether they have a normal functioning brain or not and get smacked around like there's no tomorrow) and blind sloggers (even if they have no more than one solitary shot in the book).

 

Maybe some of these posters would be better off in Pakistan which keeps producing that kind of talent. Hopefully then only the quality posters would get left behind and we'd actually have some intelligent discussions on here for once.

Spot on. Only way to forward is to filter dumb sh.its like these and focus on more sensible posts. Most of these people seem like have never played any serious cricket and just following the herd mentality on Internet seeking some attention. This forum is getting stuffed with same type of sheeps who keep on flooding every other thread with their typical agenda.

irrelevant. Brazil also largely has one sport (soccer). They don't break young talented footballers like India does to its cricketers. 

 

This is not about how many sports are there, its simply because Indian coaches, the system, the board and even most players themselves are not very professional about it themselves, by NA standards. Ofcourse, exceptions are there, we've had die-hard pros play,like Tendulkar, Dravid, Kumble, etc- who were as professional about their careers as one could hope for. 

 

I don't think BCCI is doing a wonderful job. I think it is doing a piss-poor job and has always done a piss-poor job. If it were doing a wonderful job, then a country with a humongous population that has ONE sport dominate it, should dominate that sport. Like China does with table tennis or badminton (the two most popular sports in China, comparable to cricket in India) or Brazil does with football (the most successful international team ever, so far). 

We have a history of being crap ( 40s-60s), decent ( 70s-mid 80s), tigers at home, mouses abroad (90s) and then good but not great (2000s-). 

 

That resume does not merit a grading of 'doing a fine job'.

 

Well, India has done fairly well in badminton and before cricket became so popular, hockey was very popular too and the Indian team of the 20s-60s were world-beaters in that sport. It is ironical that these successes came in spite of poor funding and/or recognition, while the BCCI with all its resources has done little of note.
