I seriously feel now that it was the BCCI that held back Manjrekar's potential as a commentator by shackling him. Now after all that controversy of him getting kicked out, he's suddenly become awesome... Loving it
Yeah. It's probably true for a lot of commentators. To be fair I always found him one of the better Indian commentators anyway.I seriously feel now that it was the BCCI that held back Manjrekar's potential as a commentator by shackles him.

Said more interesting stuff in one day on that than in the last 10 years in commentary box.
Dead set if India are 9/14 chasing 500 I'll still believe India will not lose a test match against WI. Going is good all day against this lot.
Be careful. You might get some sentences without exclamation marks.
Rohit's narine's bunny? LOL.Anyway!!..it was just a piss poor end to the day!!..and thats what happens when you're too reliant on one bowler!!..shilly can't do it all by himself at the end of the day. Once again Sammy showed his incompetence by holding back the new ball and bowling after lunch so Ashwin and Rohit could get settled!!..just utter madness!!.
When we were on top i sighed at the thought of Narine not being there and in the end such decisions have proven costly!!..the likes of Rohit has been his bunny everytime Sunny has faced him!!..but oh well the "selectors" know whats best!!..
It's probably game over now but i do have a hunch that the track has settled down!!..so if we get them out cheaply tomorrow you just never know!!..might aswell clutch at straws while i still can!!
In closing the fact is we're pretty much playing with ten men and a worthless mouthpiece of the coach!!..we won't beat the top teams with that kind of handicap and it will keep undermining the efforts of good players like Shilly until the selectors and Gibson finally decide to put an end to this muppet show.
I know that. Just had to club all scum together somehow.@ PEWS being called a Sachin fanboy. He very clearly isn't one, smali.
Why rotate around when you have FC superstars like Rahane and Tiwary waiting in the wings
Fully agree. We continue to play a batsman short to allow Sammy to play a bits and pieces role and force Ramdin to bat at 6 where he has no business, or if Sammy bats at 8, play a front line bowler short.Anyway!!..it was just a piss poor end to the day!!..and thats what happens when you're too reliant on one bowler!!..shilly can't do it all by himself at the end of the day.

I agree. But I will only rejoice once they get Rahane in as well. Bloke has done way too much to not get a place, plus he has such a sweet technique, something in the middle of Pujara's and Kohli's.
Yeah I think his place has become untenable now. He's backed up the selectors' loss of faith in him as a bowler but proceeding to bowl dross for a little while now and the Ramdin/Sammy 6/7 combination is an international joke.
I don't know about that, a lot of people just wanted him to be axed from the ODI side at a point where he really deserved it. Not many said much about a test berth from what I read in articles and whatnot, while on CW, the general consensus was he deserved a go in the side despite his poor ODI performances.
Nah he was a loathed character for his poor ODI performances for a while by a greater cricket fan community. Definitely not so much on CricketWeb, but if you read the lesser internet sources such as cricinfo comments or even the ICF forum, a lot of people wanted him blacklisted from Indian honours forever and begrudged him Test squad selection when his ODI performances weren't up to scratch. JontyPanesar's obviously new to CW so he won't be aware of what the consensus was here.
