[edit]

This recent edits may have been a good faith edit, but I am not sure whether we need to use such a obviously biased and factually incorrect article.

After Dalmiya's removal, more cricket players from Maharashtra (incidentally the home state of Sharad Pawar) and the south Indian states were included in the national squad, not necessarily on the criterion of merit.

Who exactly are the Maharashtrians who were picked "not necessarily on the criterion of merit" ? Munaf Patel, who took 7 for 97 on his Test debut ? Wasim Jaffer who scored a double century is his last Test match ?

In the 2005-06 Ranji season, Wasim Jaffer topped the averages with 112.50. If you exclude Ganguly, the best that a Bengal player managed was SG Das' 45.16. Ramesh Powar (the only other new "Maharashtrian", others are Tendulkar and Aggy) took most wickets (42) among the bowlers at an average of 22 which is better than any Bengal player who took more than 10 wickets [1]. Munaf Patel took 34 wickets at 19. After Ganguly who took ten wickets, the next best Bengali is Shibshankar Paul who averaged 25.38.

it has also been noted by cricket commentators that other than Ganguly, who managed to survive through his captaincy by dint of sheer hard work and merit, no other player from Bengal was included in the national team, during both his and Ganguly's tenures.

Dalmiya's was the sec of BCCI in 1990/1, 1993/4 - 96/7, and president from 2001-4. During 1990-1, Saradindu Mukherjee (and possibly Subroto Banerjee) was selected for India. In the second term, Prashanth Vaidya and Utpal Chatterjee played ODIs for India. In 1994/5, Chetan Sharma who had defected to Bengal in the previous year was picked. Narendra Hirwani who moved to Bengal for a season in 1996/7 and who had played only one Test in the previous six years, played two Tests in 1996/7. Deep Dasgupta was picked in 2001, which may have been during or just before Dalmiya's third term. Dasgupta continued playing well into Ganguly's tenure. Rohan Gavaskar was picked during Dalmiya's third term. Between them, these eight players took two 3 WI (never more than three) and scored one hundred.

Unless the editor can come up with facts to support his edits, I'll soon remove them. Tintin (talk) 06:13, 18 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Understood, but it is preferrable to have a neutral POV. LordGulliverofGalben

Thanks for the deletion. I should have noted that too and deleted it myself. Too many of the articles about present day Indian cricketers/administrators are biased one way or the other. Tintin (talk) 06:51, 21 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]
