Detonator Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I hadn't seen this G_B_ post which I believe is being accused of "generalization". I do not see how something is wrong in what he said. TN has been a domestic attractive cricket centre but it has produced close to no international quality players for the Indian cricket team. I don't see how this is "generalization" - just plain facts merely.. okay :(( Link to comment
Crookbond Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 put it this way.. nobody except Venkat will qualify for India alltime X1 or second X1 Well true that - Venkat I highly doubt may even be a nominee (considering he's a spinner and we've had plenty of those) for the first XI. The second ATG XI he has a good chance of getting in the team. That's the best out of TN :(( But he meant to say TN has no legends in sports, which is wrong Did he say that? Please quote his post. Actually, the best sporting players (personal opinion) from TN are in Tennis - Bhupathi, Vijay Amritraj, Ramesh Krishnan etc. Vishwanathan Anand in chess also hails from TN. Vasudevan Bhaskaran was the captain of the hockey Olympics 1980 Moscow gold winning side. So TN does have representation in sports. I don't think G_B_ meant other sports or generalized - his comment at least to me looked only for TN cricket. Link to comment
G_B_ Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 yup i meant TN cricket. I am aware TN has produced many good sportsman in fields like chess, tennis and even formula 1. Link to comment

Detonator Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 +1 IIRC both Karun Chandok and Narain Kartikeyan are from Chennai' date=' TN.[/quote'] Narain and his auto racing talent is raised in coimbatore (my home town) :proud: I guess no one might have heard about coimbatore, but I will post about a guy from Coimbatore (Sundaram Karivardhan) and his immense contribution to Indian motor sports Link to comment

I am pretty sure that if there is even a hint of any charges being formed against Gurunath then Jaitley.Shukla etc will dump Srini immediately. They won't like any extra controversy at this time.

rkt.india Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I personally would not strip them of their past titles. According to the papers he started betting in 2011. So anything won April 2011 onwards must be put under the scanner. Their 2010 win should not be stripped IMO I dont think you can strip of them just because he did betting. Betting and fixing are two different things. Fixing needs to be proved and if it is proved then it will mean that all teams have done fixing and every player should be questioned, not just him.
