A Buffoon Named Tapan Joshi

A lunatic sports journalist named Tapan Joshi, from Times of India, who thinks he's in the genus of Robert Fisk, has written an article about the captaincy issue in team India. This spineless coward has mentioned that good players don't always make good captains. Does that mean you stop trying and accept the destiny of Indian team? Or perhaps Parthiv Patel or Ajit Agarkar would be the best options to lead India. Good players don't make good captains. Is he suggesting that Steve Waugh (the most successful captain of Australia) wasn't a good player? In his career, he scored 32 centuries, 10 927 runs @ an average of 51.06 per innings. As a captain, he made 15 centuries, 10 fifties at an average of 52. Don't forget, he was 34 when he became the captain. So in last 5 years, as a captain, he scored 15 hundreds. How about Imran Khan? Was he a 'bad' captain or a 'bad' cricketer? According to some buffoons Rahul Dravid is too 'old' to lead India. Steve Waugh was 33 when he became the ODI captain of Australia and 34 when he became the test captain. Had Cricket Australia followed that moron's philosophy, they would never had taken the 'risk' of appointing Steve Waugh as their captain.

This mendacious jerk has listed Rahul Dravid's weaknesses in his column:

1) "Too diplomatic. Prefers to make his willow (performance) speak." Is diplomacy a bad quality? Isn't your uncle Gavaskar a diplomat? You silly bastard, Tapan, what else do you imagine? Do you expect him to reveal all the dressing-room secrets to you? Or you want him to make comments on Chappell-Ganguly spat like the uncouth Harbhajan? He is a person who never creates any controversy and this, according to Tapan, is a weakness.

He also said, " Dravid prefers to make his willow speak." I know there are several slobs in Indian team who only talk and brag about how good they are, and they only perform once in 10-12 matches. They have to boast about themselves, because their performances are nothing. Here is a player who lets his performance do all the talking, and this is supposed to be his drawback according to Tapan! Are you sure, you moron, you don't smoke marijuana or some weed? How else do you expect him to prove his class? Should he stop scoring runs, and make big statements, and join the Jaaggu's bandwagon. Of course, a batsman is supposed to establish himself by scoring runs. What else do you imagine? Is he a Bollywood star who has to carve a phoney superstar image? Or flex his muscles? Get into a boxing match with his rival cricketer, or perhaps, have a brash 'I-am-the-best' attitude like some inept Bollywood star. What are you ranting about, moron? He's a class act who doesn't need any fake propaganda to be in the team. It's Dalmiya's good-for-nothing crew who needs such dirty tactics to get lifetime membership of the team.

2) "Mild. Can be steamrolled by coach Chappell." Tapan Joshi, you poltroon, aren't you steamrolled and manipulated by the BCCI? Is Chappell a monster? Even the imbecile Harbhajan protested against him. Why are they paying millions to Chappell if he's just going to sit, keep quiet, and be the captain's scullion? Wasn't John Wright steamrolled by Ganguly? Foreign coach is just fashion statement in India. If team wins, Jaggu and his favourites get all the credit and if they lose, coach gets all the flak.

3) "Lacks Ganguly's aggression." Oh, get a life, you hideous monster! Aggression doesn't mean profanity or making presumptuous and narcissistic statements to the media, and depicting brash and ostentatious image to the world. That's true he can't match Ganguly's madness. After all he keeps away from blasphemy. To match him he will have to arrest his mental growth to the age of 16. Perhaps, the peevish and cantankerous slobs, Harbhajan Singh or Zaheer Khan would be ideal successors of Ganguly.

Their definition of aggression is also very inconsistent and subjective. Is stripping off one's shirt, and hurling abuses aggression? Is acting like a haughty, phoney, grumpy rogue called aggression? Or swearing at other cricketers is aggression? Or acting like an overcharged, overheated, pompous asinine called aggression? Well, I agree Dravid can't emulate this. Neither Steve Waugh, Imran Khan or Kapil Dev did such acts to gain publicity.

4) "Has seldom stuck his neck out for his mates." Should he stick his neck out just like that dunderhead Harbhajan did? Would you be happy if he criticized Chappell/Ganguly or became a disruptive influence on the team? If you are also hinting at team selection, how can you expect him to take sides or 'stick his neck out for his mates' when he's not a captain. There are other senior players in the team like Tendulkar and Sehwag who don't stick their neck out for their mates. At least, be consistent in your views, you biased bastard!

Perverts like Tapan Joshi are responsible for creating hoopla, unnecessary media hype and controversies. The newspapers blatantly trash politicians in their articles, but when it comes to cricket they pee in their pants at the very mention of Jaggu Dalmiya, particularly Times Of India and Hindustan Times. Indian Express is the only newspaper that is not biased. It's sad how cricket politics has steamrolled true journalism.

There's another perverted sports journalist named Ayaz Memon who is a wannabe, with his fake twang, influenced opinions, but he is a moron who has no opinion of his own. The worst part, is, these guys think they are some sort of Howard Zinns or Robert Fisks. They are nothing more than a bunch of phonies who only write what BCCI and some players tell them to. I have just one thing to say, "Get a life, friend!"
