Midfielder Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Not shocked at all. I always respected the man but I will ignore this crap. He has been fair in the past.
Tiger80 Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Putra moh of Indian Fathers All Indian fathers try their best to make their son's career .Your Father is Chief selector and You are an average player yet you can't get a place in India A team then shame on that father
Show_stopper Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Hmm the media seems to be turning the heat on cheeka? Resignation to follow?
1983-2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 every father wants success for his son and cheeka is not any different:hysterical:
cowboysfan Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 Hmm the media seems to be turning the heat on cheeka? Resignation to follow? he is pretty shameless,prepare to be dissapointed.paid selector my foot,what a travesty.
Zap_Brannigan Posted July 4, 2011 Posted July 4, 2011 There should be a rule that no selector can bring player whom they know personally into the table. But then, since only a south selector can select south players and so on, that means these players never get a chance. BCCI has to address this. Shocking from Srikanth.
Roshanrocks Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Srikanth must have seen some hidden talent in Aniruddha :regular_smile:
Ultimate_Game Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Rohan Gavaskar, Arjun Yadav, Stuart Binny, Angad Bedi (in under-age cricket), Kunal Lal, Anirudha Srikkanth... and the list goes on. I genuinely thought we were past the zonal selections, regionalism and nepotism seen in the past but I guess not quite.

That's already a known practice in the corporate world and it's called "conflict of interest".
Ultimate_Game Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Expected. Don't worry guys...Sachin's son will also make it into the national team even if he is not that good of a cricketer. I wonder how will people react to that. The same way we reacted to Rohan Gavaskar's selection or are reacting to Anirudha Srikanth's selection. If Tendulkar's kids aren't that good at cricket they have no business to be selected for the national team.
Chandan Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 This has nothing to go with tht guy .. It is a clear case of Srikkanth asking to select his son .. he is the one who initiated it cos he is in a powerful position .. It doesn't matter if he took srinivasan help in this or not .. Bottom line is he selected his own son .. he misused his position .. Media as usual showing its 1 yr of Dhoni's wedding ... Pathetic media we have here ... Not even one channel showed tht barkha butt phone recording .. How can we expect them to show this .. Yes. TV channels have no time for this news, but at least newspapers are reporting it. This time it is HT: 'Srikkanth proposed Anirudha's name' Mumbai, July 04, 2011 It is often said in Indian cricket that even if your performance is not up to the mark, you can still make your way into the team if you have the right contacts. Another dubious example of selection seems to have been added to the long list with Anirudha Srikkanth, son of chairman of selectors K Srikkanth, being named in the 15-member India 'A' team for the Emerging Players Tournament that starts in Australia on August 1. Compared to the other names in the team, the 25-year-old Anirudha had an ordinary domestic season. It seems to be the first blatant goof-up from the first paid panel of selectors. Srikkanth remained unavailable for comment, but a selector claimed that it was the father who had proposed Anirudha's name. "Once the chief selector proposed Anirudha's name, there was no way any of us could have countered it. It had to be a unanimous selection," a selector said, preferring anonymity. Even though the hard-hitting batsman was good in patches during the domestic one-dayers, domestic Twenty20 and the Indian Premier League, he was inconsistent during the Ranji Trophy. In fact, Anirudha could not find a place in Tamil Nadu's eleven for three of their nine Ranji games last season. Still, he was chosen for the tournament that features three-day matches against the fringe players from Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. But players being pushed into 'A' sides is not new in Indian cricket. In the last four years, this is the third such instance. In 2007, Arjun Yadav, the son of former India off-spinner, national selector N Shivlal Yadav who was then secretary of the Hyderabad Cricket Association, was picked from nowhere for the India 'A' tour of Zimbabwe and Kenya. Later, Jaydev Shah, the son of then BCCI secretary Niranjan Shah, was selected for a tri-series involving Australia 'A' and New Zealand 'A' in 2008.
nballa Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 isn't this what that sadhu and that other old man were fasting about, corruption? clearly its not working.
bihutoli Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 That's shameful. Really want this to snowball into a major issue leading to Srikkanth's resignation. Else it will set a really bad precedent.
Rahul Dravid Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 we all know this is sick and all.. but this is how it works.. and has been working in the sub-continent... get used to it... sigh
holding willey Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 but why do the other selectors get paid, if they dont have the cricketing nous or moral fiber to vote down cheeka's propsal. what kind of excuse is "cheeka proposed,we had no option".if that were the case,these jokers dont deserve to be on the panel.let us just have cheeka's cheekiness in its solitary splendour
Cricket Tragic Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Ridiculous to include Rohan's name along with the likes of Yadav and Srikkanth. Rohan had a solid FC career and played for close to 10 years before getting selected.
Sachinism Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 The chief scum bags - Srinivasan and Srikkanth are prominent names for CSK. They'll say - 'Laga do boli $300' date='000 ki'[/quote'] :((
King Tendulkar Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Ridiculous to include Rohan's name along with the likes of Yadav and Srikkanth. Rohan had a solid FC career and played for close to 10 years before getting selected. agree, he was actually decent
The Outsider Posted July 5, 2011 Posted July 5, 2011 Yeah, Rohan wasn't all that bad - worse batsmen have played for India and as CT pointed out above he had a solid and decent FC background.
