straight.drive Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Eden Gardens has lost the Feb 27th match(India vs England). Here's the story:- http://www.espncricinfo.com/icc_cricket_worldcup2011/content/story/498450.html Eden Gardens will not host the World Cup game between India and England on February 27, the ICC has said. The ICC's inspection team drew on the knowledge and experience of some of the leading experts in the field of stadium and ground preparation and the view was that Eden Gardens would not be ready by the 27 February. "Regrettably, Eden Gardens has not made sufficient progress to justify the level of confidence required to confirm that the venue would be ready in good time," Haroon Lorgat, the ICC chief executive, has said. "This was no easy decision to take and while it is most unfortunate, it is absolutely necessary." This serves us right. Indians were never known for proper planning and management. Even the other day, Dalmia had displayed some false bravado and insisted that the preparation would be complete by Feb 1st.... :banghead: :banghead:
zen Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 What's funny is that this comes after: The news comes just two days after the tournament director, Ratnakar Shetty, waved away worries over readiness of World Cup venues. Media personnel had been barred from a recent inspection of Eden Gardens A bit sad that Eden lost the match but hope BCCI learned its lesson! This is just crazy to not have the venue match-ready in the required time-frame
Asoka Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Having lived in Bengal for 18 years,I can only say that this wasn't unexpected. Everything is so slow and stagnant in Bengal. People don't work much,a lot of hooliganism prevails,people do only bakwas,loose talks etc, bandhs are called at a rate comparable to only Kashmir. Bengal still rests on its past glory. Nothing has changed much since independence and most probably never will. Kolkata is a relic. I guess CAB has more to do with this nonsense than BCCI tbh.
Sachinism Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Effin useless CAB That is a pi$$take. Flights and everything already booked :wall:
Parth Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Pathetic by the CAB and the BCCI, its the common-wealth games all over again, why can't the richest cricket board even get a stadium ready in time.
Sachinism Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I'm really angered by this. Eden Gardens is the reason I booked 2 weeks extra holiday and now its not happening. Its bloody unbelievable how this can keep happening over and over.
fineleg Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 BCCI should place sanctions against CAB. What a pathetic screwup by CAB :headshake:
achilles Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I hope this is not a result of the rosy past between BCCI & CAB.
satyam1729 Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I hope this is not a result of the rosy past between BCCI & CAB. Deluded bong
cowboysfan Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 i hope this isnt over yet,this shame may force them to complete it within 27th.i still dont understand why took on such major renovation.
achilles Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Deluded bong Dude, I'm a Gujju. And these guys have a very unpleasant past. We all know about that. EG didn't even get a game to host for almost 2 yrs under a power-ful regime.
pensionplan Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 I'm really angered by this. Eden Gardens is the reason I booked 2 weeks extra holiday and now its not happening. Its bloody unbelievable how this can keep happening over and over.Show up at Dalmiya's house and ask for a refund for the entire trip and tell him that Ganguly sent you. That should take care of things. :-)
straight.drive Posted January 27, 2011 Author Posted January 27, 2011 Man..I cannot stand gloating by india haters in comments section of that article...:banghead: :banghead:.
Guest Shivani Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Effin useless CAB That is a pi$. Flights and everything already booked :wall: you can still go there stay enjoy and fly back :dontknow:
Sachinism Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 you can still go there stay enjoy and fly back :dontknow: Doubt it. Will probably have to fly elsewhere for wherever the match is relocated and chances are it could be the same date, coz don't think they can fit it in any other time
punjabi_khota Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 :rotfl: What a **** up..can't wait to see the look on Andy and Tex's faces
DomainK Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 Stop blaming it on past. They screwed up. They were negligent and the world is laughing at us.
fineleg Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 :rotfl: What a **** up..can't wait to see the look on Andy and Tex's faces This one is a big shame though. Not just for CAB or BCCI, but for the image of India. First CW games all that mess, and now Worldcup. Cant these buffoons get anything right? Ratnakar Shetty or Ratnakar Sh.i..tty :finger:
Kalia_Test Posted January 27, 2011 Posted January 27, 2011 So who will host the match? Does it have to be any of the other approved venues in India or can a new ground like Hyderabad :winky: host it?
