    BCCI honours list unconvincing

    The BCCI has decided to felicitate India's captains in the last 50 years at a function held a day before the final of the ICC Champions Trophy.

    Presumably they're only honouring those who captained India in test cricket, since the list (Polly Umrigar, Dattajirao Gaekwad, Nari Contractor, M.A.K. Pataudi, Ajit Wadekar, Bishan Singh Bedi, S. Venkatraghavan, Sunil Gavaskar, Kapil Dev, Ravi Shastri, Dilip Vengsarkar, Krishnamachari Srikkanth, Mohammad Azharuddin, Sachin Tendulkar, Sourav Ganguly and Rahul Dravid) indicates so.

    But, if Ravi Shastri, who captained India in one test, can be honoured as a captain, why can't Chandu Borde and Virender Sehwag, who captained India as many times as Shastri did, be honoured as well? Hemu Adhikari too would have been eligible, were he alive now. If DK Gaekwad (4 tests) Venkataraghavan (5 tests) and Srikkanth (4 tests), can be honoured, why not GS Ramchand (4 tests). At least Ramchand skippered India to a memorable win against Australia at Kanpur (thanks to Jasu Patel's 9/69). Neither Gaekwad, nor Venkat, nor Srikkanth led India to a win.

    As an aside, if you manage to get hold of the October issue of Cricinfo Magazine, read the item (pg 92) on the 1988/89 Irani Trophy game between Tamil Nadu & Rest of India and enjoy Cheeka's continuous "Nee adi da machaan" (spank it, dear brother-in-law!) motivational quotes to VB Chandrasekhar, who scored a 56-ball century in a chase of 340).

    Got it: Here's the report.
