the Dada controversy

the million dollar question : should dada play or not??

everyday, in the newspapers, this issue takes a substatial amount of space..
the man who has given indian cricket a recognition, a winning attitude, an impressive batting record (12 odi centuries and 22 test centuries), should he play or not.?

but my question is... why such a fuss?? dravid's statemnt

"Anil Kumble has been left out of the team and there has been no greater cricketer in Indian cricket in the last decade and a half. No one has won more matches for India than Kumble has. But Kumble did not play a certain number of games. That was in the interest of the team. Kumble did not play in a lot of World Cup matches. If Kumble can sit out, I don't see any reason why there should be an issue on anybody else (being dropped) in this team — and that includes me and Tendulkar. I was clear about that, it was not a difficult decision for me to deal with "
for complete interview

really inspired me to post this blog.
why isn't the media, the newspapers question when kumble is dropped. He is the highest wicket taker for the country ( some 490 test & 330 one day) when he is dropped for some unkown reasons the media sits quietly.. is this jst becoz he is a bowler..?
He is the senoir most player, a true match winner. I don say that he is the best leggie or the most deadliest of spinners nor am i a die hard kumble fan. but he has the ability to take wickets somehow..

i don understand why ganguly issue is so much hyped n nobody notices when the same thing happens to kumble. reminds me of G.B. Shaw's for journalists “unable to distinguish between a bicycle accident and the collapse of civilization.”
