Political interference in Sports

India always dreamt of winning medals in Olympics. Thanks to our Politicians, it is still a dream.
Here is the story of a sports development bill that was proposed by Ajay Maken in 2011.

Ajay Maken prepared a draft National Sports (Development) Bill 2011. The bill was not passed by the then corrupted government.
He got the support of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee only.

Clauses of the Ajay Maken's National Sports Development bill:-

1)There was the age limit suggested in that bill for heading any sports committee in India. The age limit was set at 70 years that was not met by most of the cabinet ministers who were heading national and state level committees as at that time.

2)The bill was seeked to restrict the tenure of any office bearer to maximum 12 years, (1 term is for 4 years, so maximum 3 terms was to be allowed.)

3)This bill was supposed to make it compulsory for sports federations to reserve 25% of the seats to sportspersons in the controlling committee/board.

4)The bill also seeked to brought Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) under the reach of Right to Information Act(RTI).

Persons who were opposing the bill, who were ministers or head of any committee at that time:-

1)Minister of New and Renewable Energy Farooq Abdullah who was heading the cricket association of J&K.

2)Sharad Pawar who was President of ICC.

3)Praful Patel who was heading 'All India Football Federation'.

4)C.P. Joshi who was heading Rajasthan Cricket Association.

5)Arun Jaitley who was heading New Delhi & District cricket association.

**Although the bill got the support of Prime Minister and Finance Minister of that time, but was not passed.
The poor performance of Players and the sports committees can also be justify by the poor attitude of our Politicians and ministers. This is the time when Supreme Court of the country should interfere and make the sportsperson the head of Sports committees who knows the requirements of a sportsperson and can take the decisions that will work to develop the sports in our country.
Then the day will come when winning medal in Olympics will no longer remain a dream.

Another Olympic of hopes, opportunities and worries.

Olympics of 2016 are going to be held in Rio de Jenerio (Brazil), Indian contingent of 121players is the biggest Indian contingent ever going in olympics. Players from various states, various games are selected to represent India in Rio Olympics 2016. Now as the Indian contingent big, so the hopes of Indian fans are also big.
I have seen that from last 2 years, there are many controversies that happened in Indian sports, few players had witnessed the exploitation and partial behavior in the training camps and practice sessions.
But end of the day eeverything is good and Indian contingent has departed from Delhi to Rio.
Now its times to discuss Indian hopes for medals in various games. In wrestling, there are few players who can finish podium, contingent has Olympic 2012 bronze medallist "Yogeshwar Dutt" and a player who is selected after a legal and lawful fight, he is "Naraingh Pancham Yadav", there will be much pressure on him to secure a medal because he is selected after a very noisy controversy. In shooting, many players are talented, so there is also thin chance of a medal for India.
Experienced players like Sania and Pace have also the burden of expectations to win the medal for India.
Finally, India has more possibilities of medal in these Olympics in comparison to last few Olympics.

Now, an important worry for these Olympics is doping, in countries like Russia, the doping is an administration-sponsored thing, as Vice- sports minister along with 4 officials have been suspended, so it is clear that doping will be intolerable in these Olympics. Even its my personal opinion that doping would be strictly prohibited in all types of sports.

Best of Luck to all athletes of the world.
Play fair - Play well.

Give your comments..

Responsibility of defeats

You can't blame your bowlers, when you know the kind of bowling attack you have.
I will blame the batsmen, because on a good flat batting wicket , they had scored only 308 runs..
Batting was too slow, especially the partnership of Rohit and Kohli.
Although they made runs but were too slow for the kind of opponent you are facing...

You need to look on your highly rated batting and batsmen have to take chances.
Only playing for scoring century and fixing your spot in the team is not going to win matches for you.
In Today's and Last ODI knocks Rohit Sharma took too many deliveries while scoring that runs which is very slow for the kind of batting wicket on which you are playing.

Bowlers were also not good, but they solely not responsible for the two defeats.
The reason was some selfish knocks from overrated batsmen.

Indian batsmen have to realize that how crucial are the middle overs from 15 to 40.
You have to score with at least 6 RPO , because in the last 10 overs you have no batsmen that can hit the ball like a pinch hitter, while Australian team have Maxwell, Faulkner for the death overs job.

              VIRENDER SEHWAG



Statisticians and the Government policy- makers trust figures, do they trust Sehwag's strike rate!!

Graham Gooch, one of England's greatest openers has himself said: 

"I'd pay to watch him bat".

Sehwag's figure are impressive two triple and four double hundreds is a weighty achievement for one who bats as if speedometer of ferrai stuck to its peak.

He has achieved four awards:

1. Arjuna award.

2. Wisden Leading Cricketer in the world.

3. ICC Test Player of the Year. 

4. Padam Shree.

He is the only batsman to make more than 60% of the team's runs.
Thats a brief discription of "Gadhadhari Bheem" title given by Navjot Singh Siddhu.

Dhoni in new uniform

We have seen Dhoni in so many uniforms,
Indian Test Captain, ODIs Captain, T20 Captain, leading Chennai Super Kings in IPL and Champions league..
He had won all possible multi team events that a Captain can won.
If there were Test tournaments, it had been no wonder that he had claimed that too.

Now we will see him in a new Responsibility in IPL-9,
Good Luck to Dhoni...
