  • Cobbling Together the Dream Indian Eleven
    COBBLING TOGETHER THE DREAM INDIAN ELEVEN Whenever the five selectors, often dubbed as the five wise men with the onerous responsibility of cobbling together the best players comprising India’s test cricket team, sit together to pick the team they feel the heat of the country’s collective gaze resting on them. Choosing India’s cricket team is one of the most difficult tasks as the final squad is subjected to intense scrutiny by anybody and everybody. Generally the point veers round to questions such as why batsman A was not picked or bowler B was dropped from the team. That also makes it a very pleasurable hobby for followers of the game who have their own views as to who should make the final 15 or 16 when the team is preparing to leave our shores on an away visit or gearing up to face an opposition on a tour of our country. Arm chair critics apart, sports writers find it an enjoyable professional duty when they sit down to select their own team as newspapers speculate on the composition of the squad pointing out why somebody should be in the team at the expense of another. The reports generally appear on the sports pages on the morning of the team selection. This has been a hobby with this writer for over four decades now and once the team is announced, you are either vindicated or amused. And when the player, who was not in your frame goes on to play a stellar role for the country, you inwardly congratulate the selectors for their foresight and knowledge.

  • The Athletic Date: 11/16/2020
    THE ATHLETIC DATE: 11/16/2020 Schultz: Tony Ressler putting on pressure for Hawks to take a leap By: Jeff Schultz https://theathletic.com/2201724/2020/11/16/atlanta-hawks-tony-ressler-nba-draft-nba-free-agency/ Like most self-made billionaires, and others with the word “tycoon” in their wiki-bio, Hawks owner Tony Ressler is wired differently than most of us. Patience is not his best trait. Limbs flail in all directions during games. When he’s at home, he furiously scribbles reams of notes on yellow legal pads, often underlining sentences several times, to be read back later to his general manager and coach. Jami Gertz, his wife, believes he’s borderline OCD, and even though she’s an actress and doesn’t hold a medical degree, “I once played a doctor on television.” She said it’s bad enough at times that when they’re watching a televised game at their home in Los Angeles, “I’m like, you know what? Give your shit to some other people, I’m done. I’m going to bed.” This is an important week for the Hawks. The draft is Wednesday night and free agency opens two days later. They pick only sixth, and they’re not going to blow things out in free agency, even though they’re more than $43 million below the salary cap. But because of their pick and payroll flexibility, they’re somewhat the flavor of the week when it comes to being potential trade partners for other teams. Atlanta has an enormous opportunity to build on a young core by adding one or two veteran players to the roster and become not just a playoff team but a pretty good one.

  • When Swami Blessed Sachin A.Prasanna Kumar “Life Is a Game
    When Swami blessed Sachin A.Prasanna Kumar “Life is a game, play it, a simple yet complicated game, a complicated yet simple game,” famously said Sri Sathya Sai Baba in a message. The message itself is simple yet profound. When Sunil Gavaskar and Alvin Kallicharan, two ardent devotees of Sri Sathya Sai Baba, requested him to host an international cricket match, Swami was pleased to consider it favourably and he graciously chose the game of cricket to spread the message of unity and oneness. Things began to happen with rapid speed. EAS Prasanna came up with plans to transform the Sathya Sai Hill View Stadium in Puttaparthi into a first class venue. On December 30, 1997 a One Day International Cricket match for Sri Sathya Sai Unity Cup was hosted between India XI led by Sachin Tendulkar and International XI led by 1996 World Cup Champion side’s Captain Arjuna Ranatunga. The Unity Cup match, the first of its kind to be held anywhere, became a mega sporting event with the presence and participation of top cricketers, past and present, from almost all leading cricket playing countries. Thanks to ACA Secretary N.Venkata Rao I was also privileged to go there to witness the unique event. The previous evening Venkata Rao and I went to the ground where former India fast bowler G.Kasturirangan, along with Kallicharan, was supervising the ground preparations as per the advice of EAS Prasanna. As the few of us were chatting away a limousine slid into the stadium. Lo behold! Bhgawan Sri Sathya Sai Baba came out of the car and behind him walked with folded hands Sunil Gavaskar, Arjuna Ranatunga and Sachin Tendulkar.

  • Why Does One Not 'Walk'?
    Aum Sri Sai Ram Why does one not ‘walk’? Virendra Sehwag slashes hard and Taufiq Umar spills the offering at the slips. Mistake : By the Fielder. Beneficiary: Batsman. Sachin Tendulkar caught bat-pad but appeal turned down. Mistake: By the Umpire. Beneficiary: Batsman. These two seemingly different scenarios have more similarities and lessons than what meet our eyes. A moment’s reflection on the above two instances perhaps will have more than mere academic value, for as it so often happens in sports as in life, it is one’s reactions to the happenings on the field that characterize him / her more accurately than even the wealth of knowledge, and possibly talent too, that one is supposed to possess on the game itself. Firstly, in both the cases it is the batsmen who stand to gain. Secondly, it is the fielding team that is left with heartburns as a result. Perhaps the only difference in the above two scenarios is that the fault lies on different ends. Why then do we not complain in the first case, but take a moral high ground, in the latter, and condemn the beneficiary? What is so special in the second case that catapults us on to a pedestal and hands us a judge’s gavel to brand the beneficiary? How is it that we condemn the person who committed the mistake in the former but overlook, or sometimes even sympathize with, the person who had not lived up to his professional commitment, in the latter? In fact, in the latter case we readily denounce the beneficiary.
