I played with Dinesh during his time in England at Narborough & Littlethorpe CC . 5 of his 26 wickes were caught or stumped by me. I found him to be not only an exellent cricketer but a great person too, he was only here for half a season but his mermory will live on for a long time. Ive kept up with dinesh's acheivments since he left England, and was delighted for him when he signed for rajistan Royals in the IPL and it was great seeing him play with top international stars. It couldnt happen to a nicer person in my opinion, and I belive Dinesh deserves all that he acheves in cricket

Local players have also been taken to make up the numbers. I agree that they are the best of the lot. But yet they are there because u need 7 Local players in each team. If IPL had been played in any other country, so many Indian players wouldn't have been selected.

I am not sure. But if they were not, why would they have been selected for IPL. They must be good enough there.

SP,
The overseas players who are playing here are all well known in their respective countries. But thats not the case with the Indian local players. The overseas players might not play for the international team. But thats a different case.

Tri...

even their player are getting international exposure by rubbing shoulders with stars/legends of cricket which otherwise they would only dream of...so its not that only our players are getting the benefit...its another matter they are deliberately closing their eyes on this fact...

2008-04-24T02:01:11.379+05:30

you are right when you say, IPL and ICL will accomodate numerous such player, who in their absence would have gone to oblivion.

2008-04-23T19:59:21.054+05:30

Western Media would not want to promote this aspect of ICL/IPL. Its not their players who are getting promoted. I mean its only the local players from India who are getting a chance in the world stage. I guess its the job of Indian media to do something.

2008-04-23T09:24:55.843+05:30

For us, the almighty fans, it's not IPL/ICL/BPL/HPCL..it's only cricket and we would lap up whichever served up quality stuff. I would say IPL is yet to match the second ICL final, which was decided via bowlout. Why this discrimination? You can ignore someone who has aligned with ICL but who on earth allows you to ban a player?

Brilliant story SP. Wasn't aware of the show that u are talking about. But u r right in pointing out that apart from the money and the stars.. whats amazing about the T20 leagues is the oppurtunity they are providing for so many youngsters.

2008-04-22T21:36:35.363+05:30

Brilliant.

I recognized Salunkhe when I saw the pic and at first I thought the reg logo on the shirt was the ICL one and in my mind ran a story of how the IPL had poached an ICL signee.

After reading the article I looked at the logo closely and it was that of Cricket Star. I heard he had won the reality show during the commentary of the match.

Thanks for the detailed story SP. It was indeed a dream come true for the young leggie.

Did u see his reaction after the wicket of Jayawardene?

Bowled a good first over too.
