Under utilised local talents

     IPL  is born out just to destroy ICL[Indian cricket league], which was considered rebel league as they boosted young talents by giving them appropriate money and gave exposure to young indian talents by combining indian talents with foreigners.
      IPL from the first is totally under utilizing local talents but gives more importance to star cricketers from india  and foreign countries.According to me IPL isn't played to develop new local talents but it is played just to attract people with powerful foreigner and indian stars and eat more money with ridiculous ticket fairs that isnot affordable to middle class cricket enthusiasts with pricing starts from  Rs. 200 and ends with Rs 7000.
      For example I start with a single example with ranji trophy  top run scorers robin bist and abhinav mukund haven't even given a single opportunity to prove their worth and now itself  ipl teams have considered these two is fit only for domestic test.While oldie sachin,rahul dravid and sourav ganguly are getting opportunity to boost up the crowd and sourav ganguly has planned to play until 40 and sourav is a bcci executive member.There are lots and lots of talent who are overlooked in ipl due to money power that rules each team.
      I don't know why ICL's hard hitter ganapati vignesh who is associated with chennai superkings isn't given an opportunity to prove his worth even though vignesh is better than some of the current indian international star who are playing ridiculous cricket.
      But uncapped foreign players were treated like gift of god and were taken in auctions by spending more money while uncapped indian stars gets just Rs.30 lakhs and weren't allowed in auctions.I don't know why partiality exists in money matters.
     While famous english county is producing good international cricketers as their county system sounds fantastic as only 2 foreign players are allowed to play in a county team and they also have 2 division in all formats namely  elite and plate divisions and many local english players gets an opportunity to play in the league and also gets a chance to improve their techniques by sharing experiences with foreign stars. IPL  has only 9 teams,4 foreign players are allowed to play in a playing XI while english county has 20 teams with just 2 foreign players are allowed to play in playing XI.Then where is possibility improvement in indian cricket.
      BCCI should learn a lesson that they arenot here to attract audience and make money but they are here to encourage local talents and make a strong indian team.
       Atleast in the future there should be either more teams in ipl or the present ipl teams should  be scrapped and these rich ipl team owners should take care of the local state teams and these rich owners should supports all formats i.e 5 day test format,50-50 overs and t20 format.Foreign in each team should be restricted to 2 players in playing XI. If these doesn't happen india doesn't have a good future in cricket.So BCCI should change their policies for a better future
     
         
   

Great wall of windies

     Can you guys guess whom I am talking about and it's none other than cricket's unsung hero shivnarine chanderpaul.Shiv is a lanky left handed batsmen from guyana who is in windies test squad from the day he made his debut against england at 1994.
      Shiv is famous for his calm and composed display of batting in test cricket.His slow and steady display of batting have saved windies on many occasions .He is really a  batsmen feared by many bowlers round the world.
     Until now I don't know why young cricketers have followed his cricketing skills.Shiv has some distinct records of not losing his wicket for more than 1000minutes not just single time but for 4 times.It shows how skillful a cricketer can be as standing in the crease for more than 1000 minutes isnot a simple task.
   shiv cannot be just considered as slow and steady batsmen as I holds the record for hitting fourth fastest 100 in test cricket from just 69 balls that shows how multi talented and how he can adjust according to the circumstances.
     Shiv has a distinct record of averaging 100 in 2 different calender years and the record is done only by sir don bradman other than shiv.It shows his passion to cricket and a lovely player to watch and shows how bowlers will cry bowling against him.
       shiv is currently second highest test run getter for windies after lara and just completed his 10,000 mark in test cricket and he is also the most capped test cricketer in windies test history with 140 test caps.He also holds distinct records like hitting 7 consecutive 50's in test cricket.
      Until now shiv is a unsung hero in the cricket history even though he saved windies from critical situations.
Even now in the current  test series against number one english side he showed his spirit for cricket by helping windies single handedly with his batsmanship to help windies score better target.
   All hail shivnarine chanderpaul the future icc hall of famer for his highly rated batsmanship skills.This man cannot be praised with words and his records are infinite.Let's hope to watch out his superb display of batting skill and shiv is a gifted person with excellent batting skills.
