Don't the above two qualify for Article of the Week instead of Post of the Week? As for me, I nominate SJS's "deconstructing Vijay Merchant" post.
but why? they were in the Cricket Talk section before they were moved to the articles section. Same case with my first POTW

I feel that SJS50's deconstruction of Vijay is more of an article than a post. There is an article of the month award for which this article, i am sure, will be nominated. Lets just keep POTW to posts that are relatively small. Gaurav's post is big too but its done in humor and it is a satire. So i suppose it could be considered a post. No offense meant towards anyone.

Gaurav's post is an attempt at humor. it belongs in the jokes/humor section. Its an imaginary dialogue between cricketers wherein each cricket is pulling another cricketer's leg. It is NOT an article/post on cricket. I agree that the effort in writing the entire piece was good. But after reading the whole thing i felt it was just a long PJ. Also he himself asked it to be sent to the articles section. SO why is this piece considered as a post? Mr. SJS's post is in his views on Vijay Merchant as a candidate as an opener for All Time Test XI in an existing thread which was titled "Indian All Time Test XI, Part I : Openers ". Its a detailed description of Vijay Merchant's career from his debut to the end. He never meant it to be used as an article. SO in my opninion it should be considered as a post. thats my opinion.
