The Sequel: Avimanyu in Cricket Kurushetra (Part II) - ''Crop-Controversy-Comeback''
News: short but significant.
Mcgain – the new Australian spinner will have debut against India at age 36.
Sourav Ganguly: After a great run of success in various series (except last tour at Sri Lanka) in 2007-08
perhaps faces the end of his glorious cricket career at age 36.
The similarity – both are at the cross road of their cricket career at 36.
The dissimilarity – Cricket Australia thinks PEFORMANCE is the last yardstick for any player, not his age and following this model, they are the numero uno for ages in cricket world.
On the contrary, BCCI put a premium on age over performance and to stick to that they don't even hesitate to axe a year long very successful performer. By debunking performance, Indian cricket had to pay heavily in Greg Chappell era. It seems nonetheless BCCI had not learnt a lesson.
Sourav episode of ''crop-controversy-comeback'' has become so hackneyed and idiosyncratic to say the least that one needs to get into analysis- paralysis syndrome repeatedly to get his no. right:
