The Thackeray Tenets

UMPIRING: Umpiring errors could well effect the fortunes and prestige of a team. It is good the third umpire has come into effect.INDIAN TEAM: Our team is good. But the endeavour to be the best, fighting spirit and the pride in representing the country seems lacking.ONE-DAYERS: It is a sheer waste. It is like fast food. Something like having a wada-paav.

CAPTAINCY: The changes in captaincy are unwarranted. It demoralises the team. The selectors should give ample time for the captain to settle down before making a change.

MATCH-FIXING AND BETTING: I know it does happen. I have my own network which feeds me information on such happenings.

FAVOURITE CRICKETER: Any Indian player who brings glory for the country with his performance is my favourite.
