moniker Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Somehow our media seems to have lost all interest in cricket. Wakes up only during IPL and world cup. Hardly any coverage for such matches The media is in sync with the general public. They don't seem to have much of an interest in cricket nowadays apart from IPL and world cup.
Kriterion Posted August 9, 2014 Posted August 9, 2014 Never seen them taking the p!ss out of other teams even for bigger losses Even the likes of Zimbabwe and Bangladesh don't lose inside 3 days. Bigger teams also don't have obnoxious Kohlis and other self purported all time greats.

King Tendulkar Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 The problem is that we dont even have someone to replace Dhoni as captain.NO ONE!!! We are stuck.All thanks to Dhoni-Srini Combo. I don't get posts like this Dhoni is worst skipper ever, even monkey could do better, yet he has some pathetic aura created by paid media so people are brainwashed in to thinking only he can do it and you need a professor to take over otherwise no one else
Sachinism Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Yeh be angry with a news outlet which is trying to grab eyeballs rather than a bunch of hijra who couldn't bat out 50 overs vs a one-man bowling attack
Gunner Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 The problem is that we dont even have someone to replace Dhoni as captain.NO ONE!!! We are stuck.All thanks to Dhoni-Srini Combo. Pujara, Kohli, Ashwin, Rahane, basically anybody - it can't get worse than Dhoni.
Malcolm Merlyn Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Pujara' date=' Kohli, Ashwin, Rahane, basically anybody - it can't get worse than Dhoni.[/quote'] They themselves are in poor form let alone be captain.
Gunner Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 They themselves are in poor form let alone be captain. Was Dhoni in scintillating form when he got the captaincy? Ganguly averaged 29 when he was made captain. Dhoni's rotten captaincy and moronic selection is bringing down a young team with lots of potential to win Tests (esp. the bowling).

Captain need not be best player He need to be good enough to be leading the team.Here people are struggling to perform and hold down their places in the team and you want them as captain.Kya baat hai!!!!

Kohli,Rahane,Pujara are all certainties even now.Sometimes captaicy brings best in batting too. anyways mostly they need to be good tactically.And it cant get much worse than Dhoni

Lord Posted August 10, 2014 Posted August 10, 2014 Even if they keep performing like this they are certainities? Yes,for forseeable future.there's no alternatives.These guys have proved themselves b4 and hence deserve long rope.
undisputed chap Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Dhoni is absolute certainty till 2015 so people pls stop with your whining.
King Tendulkar Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Dhoni is absolute certainty till 2015 so people pls stop with your whining. That's exactly why we are whining
Precambrian Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 Cricinfo is facing a big crisis as it is losing Indian users rapidly. It touched a record low in May, somewhat recovered but still is losing. http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/espncricinfo.com Interesting to note that 63% of the traffic is from India, and a further 5% of USA which can safely be construed as subcontinental if not Indian population. yet, is cricinfo doing justice to this segment? One hardly gets to see insightful articles by former greats on Indian cricket. It also lacks balanced perspectives. There is little coverage of domestic cricket (therre is always a link to county cricket in homepage, but never to Ranji or domestic season ones). Yet it wastes no time in publishing an article that is taking a dig at indians, indian cricketers etc. In the offseason it could do some articles like popular indian grouds - and their heritage, or about extremely interesting series of past etc which can ignite the nostalgia factor and attract and retain its base. Instead it is doing everything to make Indians flee from that site. The ball by ball coverage during the on going series is horrendous. The commentary being one-sided and the published comments almost always making fun of Indians.

You don't give a dammn about the ass rapes we suffer for 3 years but more worried about cricinfo, its user percentages and money its making. Classic dhoni-srini fanatic all aboot the $$$$$ and some called cold war with west over power in world cricket. Meanwhile our team gets demolished day after day by the western teams!!

The commentary being one-sided and the published comments almost always making fun of Indians. Yes, I am surprised by this too. It is one thing to be pissed off at the BCCI. It is another to cut your nose to spite your face. Obviously cricket crazy Indians have to be their primary target audience. Yet none of the site seems to be focused on their target audience. Even the language used in the commentary, the inside terms, the discussions, the by-play all seem more British than Indian English. And this can be a big turn off for Indian audiences who won't even understand the slangs and context. Some of these commentators are Indian yet their jokes are deliberately high-brow They are not going to remain on top for long. There is a good market in this if other sites just buck up
King Tendulkar Posted August 11, 2014 Posted August 11, 2014 We have one cricket site in CI which is midly having a pop at indian team (frankly the team should be slaughtered and hammered, media should be asking for dhonis head on a platter). Then you get srini-dhoni fans jumping up and down saying how dare they criticise the indian team and almost trying to act like gangsters srini and dhoni in giving veiled threats that this will effect their business and Indians will boycott you:cantstop: CI is not even saying dhoni should be sacked, they also too scared:cantstop:
