Watson87 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 When their pockets are full, no one takes anything seriously. There should be public litigation towards all the grumpy old men In fact, if this whole task was given to Modi..he would have given a world class event. Yes, he would have gulped 20% cash but it's no different then th folks involved now but at least he would have made things happen Me and my friends used to call this "todi" , what is "todi" to a bunch of teenagers form Bandra who need cash for Clubs, Gas, Smokes, Booze, Gifts for GF, food etc.. "Daddy, I need to pay tuition" How much ? 5000 Rupees , 1000 Rupees to the Tuition and rest pocketed This is exactly what happens now but "todi" has become high level This is exactly what I have been doing all my life.:--D But now that I am all grown up missing daddy's pocket money.
IKnowU Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Modi to the rescue :isalute: BCCI babus have no clue on how to handle things other then their own money, at least modi gives something back to the people even if he gulps half of the budget.
bihutoli Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I can only hope and pray that the Eden Garden's is complete by the time for IPL 5.
Sachinism Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 I can only hope and pray that the Eden Garden's is complete by the time for IPL 5. They've only lost the Ind-Eng fixture. The one fixture I'm sure everyone was looking forward to in among the bunch of one-sided, time pass games Still fuming. Was reading Premachandran's article and he covered how facilities have always been shite at this ground, a ground which is part of Indian history. Compare it to MCG or Lords and its quite laughable.
Sachinism Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Sir John is a true supporter of the underdogs
Sachin=GOD Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Sir John is a true supporter of the underdogs so is Serani..........he supports England :haha:
Roshanrocks Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Originally posted by ANDY -> elsewhere Following are the reasons why ICC decided to pull out the match from Eden garden..... NDTV REPORT Major works to complete * Completion of roof structure * Installation of bucket seating * Removal of workers' accommodation units from within the venue * Completion of corporate boxes * Completion of security perimeter fencing * The precinct around the entire venue along with the security perimeter requires a concerted effort to complete. * Confirmation of lighting levels post construction of new roofing structures * Installation of entry gates * Extension to both main camera gantries which would provide sufficient space for all cameras required to cover a game, and to cover both pitches that will be used. * New midwicket camera position to be constructed since the previous location is now obscured by the new stand construction and the replay screen * No plans have been provided as to the building program for the venue * No certification of any aspects (health and safety, disaster management) of the venue has been submitted or offered * There is no acknowledgement of the agreements relating to ICC ticket requirements and to providing suitable hospitality facilities for ICC sponsors. * The corporate suites on both sides of the main stands need to be finished. * New electronic replay screens are to be installed as there is one manual scoreboard at the moment. * The position of the radio commentators on the lower level must be reconsidered as the commentators will constantly be under pressure from the spectators in front of them and having police to manage crowds is not viable. * With regards to the power supply, at the moment the stadium uses generators as back-up in an emergency. It should instead be changed to UPS.
Sachinism Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 ^^^ They said they're going to carry on working, lets see if even one of those things is completed by then
bulbul Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Sachinism any way u r planned a match in eden, just take a flight to Bengaluru u may not get overhelming feeling but surely gets good hospitality
b555 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 so is Serani..........he supports England :haha: :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical:
Texy Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Everyone in CAB should be fired from top to bottom They not only failed Kolkata, its cricket lovers but they failed India as well. This is unacceptable, period. Years of 'chalta hai' attitude is not going to cut it anymore. China completed and handed over all its Asian games venue months in advance. London has already completed and handed over all the venues for 2012 Olympics. Why are so incompetent?
b555 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Having already lost the high-profile India vs England game to Bangalore’s Chinnaswamy stadium, the Eden Gardens may also lose the right of hosting the remaining three matches as the CAB may not be in a position to complete the roof construction work. The reason being that among the list of dos that ICC has handed out before they carry out another round of inspection on February 7, a major point was completion of “remaining roof construction and covering work in the two rebuilt stands by February 14.” The three remaining matches at the Eden are Ireland vs South Africa (March 15), Ireland vs Netherlands (March 18) and Kenya vs Zimbabwe (March 20). It is learnt that CAB has agreed to all other points save roof contruction as they only plan to start the work after the fourth edition of Indian Premier League is over. “At this point of time, we are not in a position to touch the construction of roof. We will be intimating that to the International Cricket Council’s inspection team that will arrive on February 7. Also it’s not possible for us to construct the roof on the Ranji Stands (J, J1 Blocks) and also the K Block,” a senior CAB office bearer told PTI today. Having already created an impression of possessing a high-handed attitude, Jagmohan Dalmiya and his team could be in for more trouble from the world cricket body, which he once headed.

London has already completed and handed over all the venues for 2012 Olympics. Why are so incompetent? why only CAB is to be blamed? BCCI is equally at blame. They were also responsible for making sure that all venues were ready in time for the World Cup.
b555 Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 but one who does all the work is going to be the CAB only its like akhtar bowling a super wide and akmal being blamed for not keeping the ball properly :D
bulbul Posted January 31, 2011 Posted January 31, 2011 Analogy is like a manager and ediot employee,eventhough manager knows beforehand guy cant complete job he will assigned so as manager escapes from his responsibility
