Fickle Me This, Fickle Me That, Who's Afraid Of The Media's Crap?
Pardon the corny headline, it is at least in keeping with the low standards set by cricket's general newsmedia. Ricky Ponting struggles for a year and a bit, the press demands his head, he scores a hundred in vain during the World Cup quarterfinal and retains his batting position but loses the captaincy. Michael Clarke scored 151 against South Africa, an innings described by many as one of the best of the year. Australia were bowled out for 47, Clarke and his men are slaughtered by the press for being unable to bat with the necessary temperament. Australia win a thriller against South Africa to level the 2 match series, the press said Haddin, Ponting and Hussey had done enough to survive another day.
Australia lose to New Zealand at home, Clarke's captaincy is questioned, everyone thinks Ponting should call it a day. Australia win at the MCG, a match that was competitive for a while, the media still demands Ponting's head, Clarke's captaincy is reflected on as being better than Dhoni's, not much of a compliment considering the Indian skipper's leadership during the match. Clarke scores 329, Ponting scores a hundred, as does Hussey and suddenly everyone's glad Ponting has decided to stick around, and Clarke gets rich accolades for his brilliant captaincy.
While the flip-flops are typical of media - no less than Gideon Haigh, whom many accord the title of the best contemporary writer in the sport because of his commanding vocabulary and presumptuous and often misinformed opinion, has had to eat humble pie after yet another of his tiring pieces on T20's included that wonderful question about whether David Warner would ever bat more than 60 balls in his career - that has devolved from stating the facts to jingoistic misinformed opinion pieces, its how they misuse the responsibility handed to them and the privilege of freedom accorded to them that disappoints. The media heavily influences readers who are unable to make their own minds on the state of affairs either because they don't have access to information or because they trust a paper that echoes views they want to hear. Which is what news media has become, rather sadly even in cricket.
There is always an agenda behind a piece, sometimes paid for, and almost always influenced by how many eyeballs can be brought to glance at the myriad of ads strategically placed near the provocative headlines. Cricinfo has often used inflammatory headlines simply to spark a controversy for what is a poorly written piece about nothing in particular. Along with sections of the British and Australian press, they have successfully pulled wool over the blinkered eyes of the majority of cricket's followers into believing the BCCI's sole purpose for existence is greed and the eventual destruction of cricket. Rarely are there any articles about the BCCI's many development projects, some of which are quite admirable. The BCCI of course don't help matters by banning some groups from attending matches and refusing to promote their own successful endeavours sufficiently.
Take the DRS for instance. The BCCI's stand isn't that they don't want the DRS, but rather that the technology behind it isn't foolproof, and until it is there is hardly any point in using it to influence decisions wherein it might only add to further controversy, as was quite evident during India's tour of England. Most people who have bothered looking at the facts agree that this is a sensible outlook. Yet there are people who leave comments such as "Why does India have a right to overrule Cricket Australia's use of the DRS" primarily because the piss-poor variety of journalists like Malcolm Conn mislead people with statements proclaiming the BCCI directly denies bowlers the ability to appeal. Not too surprisingly, -and whether they see it or not, its what they choose to write based on their audience's mood at the moment- Conn and the like have led the way with adulations over Clarke's captaincy, which not too long ago they questioned.
Clarke has benefited from having a good set of bowlers who've done well at home against a side that has for the most part had a perennial weakness against quick bowlers on seaming wickets. His captaincy against tailenders was as bad as Dhoni's in recent times, and when the game has drifted away from him he looks as lost as his predecessor, who was also falsely proclaimed as a great captain based on his stock of players. Clarke plays it up of course, his decision to declare while admirable is a touch nauseous, and reminds of his decision to dump Lara Bingle when it appeared *her* character might have cost him the captaincy [this criteria in picking a skipper is a topic for another day, Warne , Ponting etc etc...]. But the media is blind to all of this at the moment, the flavor of the moment is Michael - benevolent pup - Clarke, and so logical discourse takes a back seat.
Move over to the Indian media, which swings with more regularity than a pendulum. The usual scapegoat, VVS Laxman, finds that he is about to be axed in the country that he has his best record against. Laxman has often been treated unfairly by the Board, more often by the media, but he doesn't do his case too much good by remaining among the slackest of fielders and runners in the game. That isn't what he is being picked on for, its whether he should be staying in a team which should look towards rebuilding. Indian cricket's second golden boy, Rahul Dravid, cannot be touched of course, despite looking all at sea since Tendulkar's arrival at the crease in the first innings of the tour. This is because Dravid was the only batsman to do well in England. After 3-4 miserable years where he relied on scoring against weak attacks on flat tracks to retain his position in the team.
One might ask, if Laxman should be axed - as he probably deserves to be based on his recent overseas record - in keeping with blooding the next generation, why not Dravid. Indeed, why not Dravid 2 years ago when he relied on inside edges to score the bulk of his runs. Exactly what did Indian cricket gain from Rahul's recent exploits in England? We lost by the most embarrassing of margins anyway, didn't we? And why did he insist on playing on after the tour, nearing the ripe old age of 39? One paper says Dravid and Laxman will probably decide on their own to retire rather than leave it to the selectors - which is allegedly their right for their great contributions to Indian cricket - but going by their decisions over the last few years its pretty hard to see that happening, right?
Why were these players, including Sachin, touring Bangladesh, we all asked these questions at the time and its time to ask them again. If the seniors don't take a back seat and let the selectors gracefully blood the next generation, then after a tour like this one they are culpable on two counts - overstaying their welcome and foiling the future. These questions were somehow stowed away by the media after the English debacle, when they chose to pick on the scheduling since it was all the rage back then to ape the British fixation with the IPL's devious influence on the sport.
Ah, the future. And here we see the circus coming full circle. The greats are venerated and paid homage to just as overrated film stars in the country buy undue hype. So to the hype accorded to "the next best thing... well at least for the moment." Currently, on the back of glorious innings on flat tracks in the Ranji trophy, the boy who seems to exude so much talent that for a minute you might ignore the accompanying Mumbai-biased sycophancy, Rohit Sharma has apparently earned his spot in the team. Rohit has earned his spot in the ODI team almost as many times as Yuvraj has in tests, and has disappointed just as many but the trigger happy media searching for a hero are convinced this time will be different, like last time.
If he does well, the poor chap - just look at Kohli who did well in 2011 and now has irked just about everyone after two matches in which his seniors have played with far greater trepidation and irresponsibility - can hope for a year's worth of accolades before being consigned to obscurity like Mukund, Das, Ramesh, Vijay, hell even WV Raman and the plethora of next best things of yesteryear. If he does great, he becomes the next Laxman. And as he rides this journey, the crests and troughs amplified by the irresponsible sensationalist tabloid rubbish masquerading as journalism, he will at times loathe his fans and the media and scoff at their influence over each other and himself.

Boredwaani: Bored of ODI Series - Shut Up and Listen!
After the tests come the ODIs, but nobody wants to play... Sachin, Sehwag, Bhajji, Zak, Gambhir, pRick, Watson and Johnson are all missing... but Ravindra Jadeja, Nohit Sharma and Yuvraj all return. Listen to Bored Members SP, Homer, Cricketcouch and Achettup try to make sense of whether anyone is interested, even the Fake One Down Player, in this "Bored of ODI" Series...
Player Profile: Rohit Sharma
In some circles he’s known as Nohit Sharma, as he barely hits the ball, and when he does, he’s wrongly given leg before. There’s a strong theory doing the rounds that Sharma should conserve his energy, and concentrate on the IPL. Instead he continues to be touted as the next big thing from Mumbai, shamefully compared to Sachin Tendulkar, playing more internationals than the quota of an entire generation of young cricketers. Is blessed with lazy elegance, though in unequal measure wherein lazy far exceeds elegance, but the selectors continue to think otherwise. There is another theory that Rohit is picked purely for his close-in catching, highly plausible seeing that chairman of selectors was a nifty fielder.
Nohit Sharma's non-stretch.
When Sachin is away, the next Sachin will play. But he isn't Nohit Sharma for nothing; he will refuse to play even when he plays. That in itself is something. Nohit, as you are no doubt aware, refuses to stretch himself. He is hooked to what his Bombay boys call the "lazy elegance" of Rohit Sharma. How can you stretch when you are lazy n elegant?
In yesterday's game, he nohit the ball. It's so tempting, he had to try it again - and it met with the same results as in the game against Bangladesh -
14.5 82.4 kph, and he's gone first ball! All those talks of bonus points can stop for a while, since Shakib is creating a chance for Bangladesh here. Arm ball speared in on off and heading straight for leg. Rohit makes a lazy forward lunge with bat tucked behind the pad and it hits him flush in front of middle. The umpire thinks it through and rules him out. Well! 80/3
And now this, against Pakistan -
41.2 93.2 kph, Sharma goes! Plays for the legspinner, pressing forward to defend, and this one goes straight through and hits him in front of off and middle. So plumb that even Billy Bowden (usually a not-outer) immediately raised the finger! Afridi gets into his Becker-like celebration 208/4
This may appear a lazy post, using all these cricinfo cut pastes and all, but before you accuse me, take a look at Nohit Sharma. Like Nohit, so this post.
Bored aside: Nohit refuses to stretch himself as he is afraid of stretch marks
Proof that our seniors are hung up
It's wrong to say India was knocked out by Sri Lanka. India was knocked out by India. This the seniors back home know only too well, when contacted Kumble said in his typical strong jawed manner, "there was only one team not playing cricket". When reminded that Australia was not part of the tri-series, Kumble hung up.
Tendulkar was kinder when he said, "the boys need our support and I'm sure they'll bounce back." When reminded that these boys will not get a chance to bounce back as the seniors will take their place, Tendulkar hung up.
MS Dhoni stopped his bike in mid-air to answer our phone; he cracked a few jokes, but blamed Nohit Sharma's run-out for the defeats. He further added that Nohit once ran him out and he had not forgotten. When informed that Nohit's twin tons were the only positives from the series, MSD hung up.
Ganguly said that if MS Dhoni is a bit of a gambler, then Suresh Raina is a bit of a gamble. He added that not opening with Yusuf Pathan (as mentioned in his column repeatedly) was a gamble worth taking. When informed that Yusuf Pathan's mastery of the short ball was worse than his, he hung up.
Dravid refused to comment, when reminded that it was high time he said something, he hung up.
Cheeka rambled - "IDunnoWaatToSayWeNeedMaybeMoreCSKPlayersHahahaAfterAllTheyAreWhatYouCallItTheChampionsOfHahahaAndTheBestInTheCountryHahaIWillSpeakWithSriAndSeeIfWeCanPlayHaydosHaha! Which is when we hung up.
"Don't call me Nohit Sharma"
You can call me The Artist formerly known as Nohit. That has a swagger to it, I can almost see myself breaking into song, a Bollywood ballad. Anyway, it’s just a matter of time before they start calling me Prince or Nawab of Nagpur.
Did you notice how I pulled and hooked the Lankans, and I’m Indian. I will speak with Garry and ask if I can help the captain and the other seniors back home with their pulling.
I’d like to thank someone, I don’t remember who really, someone who said, in passing, just play like it’s the IPL, and you will score tons of runs. Now you see what has happened, even in my dreams I’m scoring runs. Earlier my dream runs were few, I won’t even call them dream runs. What else?
I hope my good India form doesn’t affect my IPL form – there is always a chance that playing too much for India, can leave you with little time to recover for the IPL season. That is where the 20s and 30s for India were crucial, finally the selectors had to drop me. But now after these two hundreds it will be up to me to drop the selectors. Cheeka, watch out! (languid laugh)
Don’t you think I was really cool today, I’ve really worked on my easy-going look. That makes everything look even easier than it is. Deep down I’m tough as nails, but with this look, I look, you know what…whatever…gotta go, sign some autographs (yawns)
MSD: Mahi, Sex aur Dhoka
1. Are you, Yuvraj and Yusuf in better form than Nohit Sharma?
2. Is that one over you hit Irfan Pathan the basis for your form?
3. Why do you only bat up the order @ 96/2 off 11.1 overs?
4. Do you still hold Nohit Sharma’s run-out of you against him?
5. Are you a cricketer or a politican?
6. Are you sulking because RP Singh wasn’t picked?
7. Are you sulking because Piyush Chawla was picked?
8. What’s the deal with Sehwag/Gambhir/Delhi and you
The Nohit Sharma Song and Dance about nothing
Nohit – I no hit the ball
Billy – I know you hit the ball
Nohit – No hit! No hit!
Billy – Stop behaving like you’re the crowd, calling your name
Nohit – I no hit the ball
Billy – Does that matter, I’m blind, and you’re Indian
Nohit – I know you hate our balls
Billy – AAAH! You admit you hit the ball
Nohit – no, no, no – I no hit the ball
Billy – We’re both undecided let me ask Simon – Simon says you’re out!
Nohit – ohhh the dreaded crooked finger
Billy – You like it?
Nohit – I no hit the ball – refer it
Billy – Wasn’t that supposed to be earlier in the piece
Nohit – Teri Maa Ki!
Billy – Telemachus is not playing
Also see why he's called Nohit Sharma
The Mahi-meter
There’s a change in thanks - Raina could hardly thank Sachin after his hundred. He did the next best thing in Indian cricket, thanked MS. When exactly did MS take Raina under his wing – the move to CSK is now three season’s old. Coming in at one down is not entirely new for Raina, but with MS’s trigger-happy position swapping, it’s a biggie that Raina continues to come one down, not just for CSK but for India in T20. To grab the position in one-dayers could take longer for Raina, but with runs and MS backing him, not that long.
Raina is lucky, as is Yusuf Pathan. Both have been on the Mahi-meter. RP Singh was, but how long can you push a guy for a smile that’s steadier than his bowling.
Nohit Sharma is off the radar. After not coming off as an opener in the previous edition, even an out of touch BossDK is picked over him – argument is clear, BossDK opens, albeit with limited success, Nohit opened, but with no success.
So it’s down to Yusuf Pathan vs Nohit Sharma; Yusuf darts it in the power-play, and is your big match-changer on reputation. Nohit can bowl, but isn’t called on with the same regularity, not in the IPL at least. On perception, Yusuf is your big-hitting all-rounder, who plays with the threat of a match-winner.
Whereas Nohit is a finisher, he’s been batting late for India, and finishing for the Chargers. He bowls occasionally, but much less than Yusuf.
From a few months back, when I couldn’t care less for either player, I think both have acquitted themselves somewhat – Yusuf has stopped chewing gum, his head’s steadier, and he doesn’t go out first ball. He still threatens to. He had a monster season before being picked again – and has been able to do the tough math that he has to think and hit rather than the other way round.
As for Nohit Sharma, when he catches them like a juggler, you want him in the side for his catching alone. It’s a dying art, every team should be duty bound to play a bloke for his fielding alone. And much as Nohit’s dull-head disposition can be a put-off, (and his shot selection as appalling as Yusuf’s), this is his time – bet he knows that too, as does Yusuf. Back home, Uthappa must think the same, but he’ll have to wait.
Nohit is up against it – 3 games in the super 8s – how much rope with Mahi give Yusuf? Right now Nohit Sharma’s best shot at making the eleven is shitty. Somebody in the middle order will have to get diarrhoea this time.
Perception is Reality...NOT
Another batting collapse, another final lost. Some things never change. Neither do perceptions. Ever since Suresh Raina was bounced out at the Twenty20 World Cup he has been said to have found out. So much so that the experts seem to think Raina comes in a Buy One Get One Free deal with Nohit Sharma. So when Raina did his best to bail out his team with a back to the wall hundred, this is what cricinfo had to say,
"Nothing has gone right for Raina ever since the Twenty20 World Cup when he was grounded by the bouncers. Word caught on and even domestic bowlers started to serve the short stuff. Humiliation was at his door step. Raina went for advice to the likes of Rahul Dravid, sought out Gary Kirsten, faced throw-downs, faced balls blasted from tennis racquets, but it is not an ailment that vanishes overnight."
Notice how the enlightened souls at cricinfo haven't provided any evidence to suggest Raina getting found out. Well, lucky for you someone decided to check up on how the batsman has performed during the said period.
Let's see...an average of 45.75, strike rate of 96.99, five scores of fifty or more in sixteen innings. Tendulkar, Dhoni and Kohli are his only teammates who average higher during this period, and they all do it at a lower strike rate. In terms of consistency, only Dhoni and Kohli have a lower innings to fifty ratio.
Moving on to his middle order peers (Batting between number 4 and 7) in world cricket, Dhoni, Mahmudullah, Collingwood and Brendan Taylor are the only ones with a higher average than Raina. Again, none of them have scored as quickly as him.
Now, one can make arguments about the flat pitches he's batted on but his teammates batted on those same pitches. More importantly, all the evidence points to India finding a reliable and devastating batsman in the middle order and not to someone who is a sitting duck. But pointing it out isn't going to get people to read or talk, is it? So let's just continue the myth that Raina hasn't been cutting it since he was "found out".
Nohit by Name, Nohit by Game
It's bad enough when you can't deliver on the promise Shastri makes to the world - 4 fifties in 41 games is the stuff Ian Bells are made of. But when your name is Nohit Sharma the last thing you want is some hormonal kid scoring hundreds for fun.
Nohit might have been a bit relieved to know he wasn't be playing at the Gangothri Glades. It's a bit difficult to wow the Shastris and Sunnies when you're playing on a green top in a game no one really cares about. Instead, he had a chance to show his potential on those flat tracks in East Bengal. But little did he know that fellow U-19 cricketers, Kohli and Karthik, were going to ensure Nohit got no hit in the middle. But there is a bright side to all this - Karthik is going to make way for Sehwag today and Kohli will cool his heels when Sachin decides to grace the team with His presence.
Maybe that's the reason Nohit no performs, he knows he's going to be out when the big boys decide they want in on the action. Better to just wait it out and score big in the tournament that matters, and become its MVP. Afterall, he will be able to whore himself to those IPL owners in a year's time.
10 New Year Resolutions That Will Never Come True
10. New Zealand batsmen: We won't let Dan "The Man" Vettori come to the crease before the scoreboard reads 200.
9. Australian batsmen: We will put the team before personal milestones by bringing up our hundreds with a six.
8. Ian Healy: I will not wear baggy green thongs to the Channel 9 commentary box.
7. Rohit Sharma: I will not throw away my wicket.
6. Ravi Shastri: I will refrain from using cliches like "Down to the wire" and "Like a tracer bullet".
5. Pakistan Team: We will hold on to our catches.
4. Sunil Gavaskar: I will not mention Sachin Tendulkar in every other sentence I speak.
3. Harbhajan Singh: I will take wickets.
2. Lalit Modi: I will not monetise every trivial event during an IPL game.
And the Number One New Year Resolution for 2010 That Will Never Come True is...
Drumroll...
More Drumroll...
Bored Cricket Crazy Indians: We won't bore our patrons with any more Thank You Sachin posts!!!!
Introducing Nohit Sharma, again.
Wasn’t he just shown the door?
Didn’t he make no runs, not a score
Where did the dream go wrong?
Didn’t seem to be on song
Be he’s such a lazy boy
Such a lazy boy
He sits on his LAZBOY
Playing his video games
Snacking on his potato chips
And then the door bell rings
But he’s such a lazy boy
Playing his video games
Snacking on his potato chips
And then the door bell rings
And rings
There’s someone knocking on his door
Knocking hard on his door
There’s Che and Vijay who hear the call
From not too far, just about next door
They think someone’s knocking on their door
There’s Badri too, he hears the call
But he knows better and doesn’t think at all
Nohit got a triple, it was Him, so it caused a ripple
Che scored a few, a few triples, but that don’t count
You can pile the runs, make a mount
But it don’t count, it don’t count
Coz he’s such a lazy boy
And the knocking gets harder
Some kid opens the door
A selector walks in
Overlooks his score
It is Nohit that they all adore
Coz he’s such a lazy boy
Selector: We have picked you for your lazy elegance
Nohit: dekhta nahin video game khel raha hoon..
SFX: Munching chips
Nohit Sharma is Bored Member Mahek's invention.
