DADA and the SAGA of Rotating Captain

Yesterday was a sad day for all DADA fans , when the horrific and bizarre news of KOLKATA KNIGHT RIDERS not having a permanent captain for the IPL season 2 was telecast on all channels. What the hell was JOHN BUCHANAN thinking when this idea struck him ,has he gone insane???????

I know experimentation is good for any sports not only cricket, but it has to be in the right direction .I still cant fathom the concept, wherein you will have four captains rotating .One Captain will go for the toss , the other one will set field …this is totally crap.Never in the history of any sport it has been recorded or seen that for a particular game four Captains will analyse and strategise .It will be a hotch potch as every individual has varied insights on a particular sitruation.The team needs a leader whom they can follow blindly ,but in this case team will not be sure what to do and what not …I find this whole idea so so absurd.

I understand that there are times when you need to try out new things , but it should be after consultation with all your peers and colleagues.Ganguly was not at all aware about John’s stupid idea and he only came to know about it through the press.Performance can not be an issue for DADA being removed as the Captain, as he was one of the best perforemers for KKR last year.The captaining skills of DADA can also not be questioned ,as the whole world knows and accepts that he was the architect of modern cricket in India.He opened the gates for youngsters like Sehwag,Yuvaraj,Harbhajan and brought in the aggression and killing instinct needed to win matches.

Where the hell is Shahrukh Khan ,is he sleeping with KJ .He should have immediately squashed this idea of John and as far as I know he has all the rights to do so being the owner of the franchisee.SRK has cashed in on DADA’s popularity in Kolkata and minted money for the franchisee last year in leaps and bounds.Its a clear case of “Law of Diminishing Marginal Utility” wherein Ganguly was the pawn and UTILITY for the SRK .

For God sake you cannot force upon new concepts in cricket during major tournament like IPL wherein the stakes are very high .John should have use this rotating captain formula in some sidey,small Australian Cricket Club in TASMANIA first and than applied it in the Internatiaonal arena.

Today no one knows whether this ROTATING CAPTAIN formula will work or not? For a Cricket fanatic like me, ) I am confident and 100% sure that this will not work and KKR will be in the bottom of the TEAM table thiS SEASON.

I feel very sad for DADA as he has gone through a lot of hard times in the past too and this being another dark episode in his life.I don’t feel he deserves this and I will be really happy if he resignd from captaincy of KKR. Nobody can question the integrity of DADA who has given a lot to Indian Cricket and the game in general .I feel DADA is the DESTINY’S CHILD of Indian Cricket who has seen both the sides of the coin ,immense success and extreme failures.The tragedy or should I say coincidence is both the times when he was in doldrums , it was due to ARROGANT AUSSIES aka Greg Chapel(The Mindfreak) and now John Buchanan(The A.........).

I have been seeing and closely following DADA for so many years and I am confident that he will bounce back.He is like a PHOENIX and an example to each and everyone one of us that SUCCESS AND FAILURES walk hand in hand , what matter's is how you take and handle it.

DADA I LOVE YOU AND AM WAITING FOR THE DAY WHEN YOU WILL HIT THE FASTEST CENTURY IN DLF SEASON 2.I CAN ALREADY VISUALISE IT ,THOSE MAJESTIC COVER DRIVES,SQUARE CUTS AND THE SUBLIME STRAIGHT DRIVES.

By the way while going through the whiole press conference yesterday I remembered that the legendory Shane Warn had called JOHN BUCHANAN a GOOSE ,and he had actually hit the Bulls Eye long back in 2007.

I searched the net and got the article foe everyones reference:

But Warne yesterday claimed Buchanan was a "goose" and his "verbal diarrhoea" epitomised a worrying big-headed culture.
"The only issue that I have got with cricket at the moment is that Australian people and administrators and ex-players and ex-coaches, a la John Buchanan, have got to stop the arrogant mindset that Australia is so much better than anybody else," Warne said.
"Yes, Australia is the No. 1 country in the world but all this bullshit about our players going to other countries and playing, what a lot of crap.
"There is going to be a time in the next two or three years when Australia is tested. Other countries will catch up and they will unearth someone, that's just the cycle, as long as their foundations in those countries are strong."
Buchanan, who has endured a frosty relationship with the former leg-spinner, would not comment when contacted last night.
Warne, whose retirement left a vacant spinning berth, backed Brad Hogg to do well against India in his old role.
