Mr Cricket HI MR Ghosh ,
The high profile franchisee’s are now understanding the true essence of dealing with Indian cricket (read BCCI). Well a scratch beneath the golden surface shows an autocratic body which has shown scant respect for any of its external environment. I think the first edition of the IPL saw Shahrukh Khan as its poster boy, but as the tournament is coming to an end the Badshah of Bollywood is himself understanding the true intricacies of dealing with the cricket authorities. Sharukh is an enigma in the world of cricket and would appreciate if you could glance at my views regarding his entry into the world of Indian cricket which you have followed inside out over the years

more Manoj Nair Mr. Ghosh, you article is nothing but words of a die hard suporter of a Kolkotta Team. You are a Bengali talking and it is definitely not Bhalo for a media man. Let me keep this simple and give you tips before you vomit such articles next time around. Read Sandeep Patil''s article (I hope you appreciate he played the sport at the highest level?). Fine, then read his article and accept one thing and that is "on the field of play there are rules to follow, you may not like most of it, but as long as they are rules, Gentlemen, please abide by them". Anyone can fall on anyone''s feet, but let that be in the stands and other places, not in the dressing room and dug outs! I may sound harsh, but trust me, i come from the school of though that "sport" is different from "illicit affairs" and IPL is nothing but some BCCI officials dream come true to share the spot with successful people who are role models and to hobnob with some Page 3 Celebrity like Shah Rukh Khan and Preity Zinta! I am actually waiting to read a article from Shobha De, somewhere on this! Cheers! ( Posted: Tuesday , May 20, 2008 at 12:11 )       
saurabh Mr.Ringo, I am sorry I do not agree with your comment.
Jaideep is absoulutely correct, the team owner has the right to sit with his team. ( Posted: Tuesday , May 20, 2008 at 01:36 )       
LVISS This is downright silly. When they have already mauled the game by introducing so many amendments why not change this rule to make the owner available to his players.If team owner cannot visit the dressing room or the pit who can. Beats me too. ( Posted: Monday , May 19, 2008 at 23:11 )       
Ringo do u know anything about match fixing ?. do you know the betting money involved for every match. do u know how the betting index change with every bowl bowled. betting is done for every wickets, four sixes, final score etc.. not only for winning and losing. so any external person (even owner) who is interetsed in making money can influence (bribe, coerce etc) a player to lose his wicket, pass a note to give sixes etc..So to avoid any external influence no one other then cricket staff is allowed. but I do agree we are firt time seeing a owner concept. so how do we tackle this issue . Please note the owner intention is to make money foremost and what better way to make it 10 times more than fixing etc..Though I am not saying the owner will do it, but u never know. so ICC is right to nip it in the bud. SRK take a chill pill. No one is bigger than the game. ( Posted: Monday , May 19, 2008 at 19:42 )
