giving out a 10 crore prize for winning a tri-series is too overboard by Pawar and BCCI

Do you have any problem with that?

Atleast I don't.

BTW do you know that BCCI has donated Rs 25 crores for other sports. Now what would you say? Was BCCI anyway obliged to do that? Or was that too overboard? Mind you this sum is 2.5 times that of what cricketers received.

SG, those're entire sports and sport organizations that badly need the money if India is to ever, if at all, become a multi-sporting nation. These are a handful of individual cricketers. Where's the comparison?

Mayawati's UP Govt just announced a 10 lakh award to Praveen Singh. FFS. But guy is already being rewarded by BCCI. Why does the state Govt need to reward him for something as trivial as a CB series final? UP sportsmen are an ignored lot. Players in Hockey team and others rarely get any Govt help let alone recognition, bitch Mayawati is hell bent on the demolition of a sports stadium just to build a 'Memorial' park to her mentor Kanshi Ram, There is no money for training infrastructure to UP's budding cricketers and other sportsman and she wants to gift Praveen Kumar 10 lakhs who doesn’t need it anymore as he is already on BCCI and Media radar for fast easy money.....

Absolutely disgusting and ridiculous. Looks like every crook politician out there just wants to milk off cricket shamelessly. It is bad enough that Dhoni is getting real estate pies gifted off as freebies in Jharkhand and has no obligation following traffic rules where the Govt transfers honest Traffic officers who book him for traffic irregularities.....

Various intercuts of Lions hunting and Bhajji getting Symonds LBW and celebrating wildly.
Inter cut to a monkey jumping up and down a tree branch in absolute terror and panic...interspersed with a shot of Symonds walking back with disappointment and disbelief......

One would have thought the media would be a bit more responsible after all the recent events. Bad enough that the majority of the people are ignoramuses where racism abroad are concerned. It is broadcasting like this that makes public perception to issues like this acceptable, done and baffling when they do trigger into what happened at Sydney or Mumbai.....

i guess you dont see the hindi news channels. the best one makes star news look like the bbc

Man these news channels are such a nightmare now. Not a single good one in sight where one can tune to some no-nonsense, no frills, plain as it is professional reporting. These channels are either pimping the women's soaps latest shocking developments and plot twists, or replaying the nth number of mindless singing reality shows, in it's entirety [almost a re-run] or running live comedy shows of endless done to death, boring and repetitive stand ups of Raju Shrivastava or bitching about the latest romantic jaunts of Abhi-Ash and Saif-Kareena. Do these bloody shitheads have a sense of what news reporting is and what their priority should be?

They avoid paying the tax slabs that entertainment channels pay to IB Ministery, start off as 'news channels' and end up becoming an entertainment channel themselves. The only decent channel that is half unglamorous is Sahara Samay but looks tacky like the old DD. But much better than the rest I suppose.....

Suggest you just revert to the Naked News batty.

Indian Media = Candy Floss Gay News Reporting Girly Gossip Channel :!:

Jeez, I am shocked they don't have news reporters showing up on TV in pink blouses...
