Update - Video Added - Tendulkar didn't stand by me: Kambli

[Desi Cartman]

According to an insider at the show, Kambli said his childhood chum Tendulkar didn’t lend a helping hand during his downward spiral, which was also marked by self-destructive behaviour. MUMBAI: One of Indian cricket’s most enduring friendships has developed cracks. Vinod Kambli blew the lid on his friendship with Sachin Tendulkar on a TV show that goes on air this week. ‘‘We are very close... we were very close. He could have done a little more, but he didn’t,’’ he said in reply to a query on his friendship with Tendulkar during a polygraph (lie detector) test which is part of the show. The Mumbai southpaw replied in the affirmative when he was asked whether Sachin is embarrassed to accept him as a friend now. Kambli, 37, who is yet to retire from cricket, also took a massive swipe at the BCCI. ‘‘I always felt discriminated because of my caste and colour by the cricket board,’’ Interestingly, all these revelations came during a polygraph test, which every contestant is subjected to. The format of the show is such that the same questions are asked by an anchor in front of a select audience. If the answers don’t match, the contestant is disqualified. Kambli last featured in a Test in 1995 (India vs New Zealand at Cuttack) when he was just 23. The maverick Mumbai left-hander’s ODI career, which included nine comebacks, lasted longer as he played his last match in 2000 at Sharjah. Manoj ‘Muntashir’, writer of the show which is titled ‘Sach Ka Saamna’, refused to confirm Kambli’s revelations. ‘‘You are talking as if you’ve watched the episode,’’ he said when contacted. ‘‘The whole world knows about Kambli and Tendulkar’s friendship. Questions about their friendship are bound to be featured.’’ Source VIDEO IN POST # 76

I think it wouldn't be right to talk about it unless and until I watch those words coming out of Kambli's mouth myself.

Our tv journalism is scaling great heights. Would be wonderful if they connect a polygraph while interviewing our politicians, and a few Pakistani generals.

[DomainK]

This is a PR stunt to promote the show. Now every Tendulkar fan will try to catch that episode.

[Gambit]

It's based on 'Moment of truth'. I won't be surprised if Kambli said all this given the nature of the show. It's meant to be controversial.

[Desi Cartman]

‘‘I always felt discriminated because of my caste and colour by the cricket board,’’

If its so bad then how did get to play ? how did her get so many chances after failing ?

Don't assume anything before you watch the show. May be Kambli was asked to tell lies to try and beat the lie detector and it turns out to be an intentional fib.

[Gambit]

Hope his wife accompanies him on the show. :winky:

[chanakya]

The Moment of truth like the one held in US. Crappy show nothing great really.

[Rajiv]

Kambli came back to the side for a few ODI's during 98 I think If anyone remembers, he took a catch and animated it by shooting the ball and scored his first 4 off slip and thanked god So how did he make the side? with his merit? OR Tendulkar was scared that kambli would overtake him? :haha:

[Mr. Wicket]

What bull. SRT was the reason why Kambli made a comeback briefly from out of the blue during Tendulkar's captaincy (along with a few other Bombay players Tendulkar pushed for).

Exactly, he didn't even make an attempt to utilize that opportunity. Bloody idiot.

[Bradman99]

Tendulkar is the Indian player I respect more then any other Indian not just as a player but what he comes across as a bloke, so I would take his side of the story anyday.

This is a PR stunt to promote the show. Now every Tendulkar fan will try to catch that episode.

No you were discriminated because you were an over grown pile of crap, with an emotional quotient equal to that of a swine in pms, who spent more time on thinking about how to cover your bald head than trying to improve your natural talent.
