Hi Scorpicity,
Liked the restraint n your balanced views - and yeah, the Raina focus. It did get a li’l manic with GC and Raina, as also with Dinesh Karthik. Esp when Raina was edging everything outside off yet being persisted with.
Like the look of Raina and Rohit Sharma - there’s a reassuring calm, almost like Kaif has when on top of his game. Would like to see Raina bowl a bit, and express himself fully as a cricketer.
cheers!

SP… it was John with his sharp obs. yes, if there is a gag-order in place, then interviews is no different… strange… but has the gag-order been implemented as such? No news on that one.

John… has the BCCI implemented the rule for selectors to not write columns? Any progress was made and has vens stopped after that? Am clueless on that one.

Scorpicity,
Very conveniently, the embargo on writing columns does not extend to giving interviews. Wonder when the BCCI will step in to curb that.

Soulberry… yes you are right on the points. The good thing which has come out today is that Vensarkar in an interview with the Hindu has clarified that the test team will involve a transition approach and the ODIs is to throw them into learning quickly and getting the exposure to graduate to test level… so it looks ok.

CG… I have no problems in this approach as long as they stick to their convictions… personally as a policy I prefer a transition but it’s ok with a direct front-on change.Yup, I will be patient on this :).
