Mallya backtracks.

Mallya has learnt a lesson. Whatever your travails, you do not rant against your icon (God). Let your icon be leaden footed and uninspiring, let him be dour and unmarketable, the cardinal rule in Indian cricket is, you do not question him (icon/God).

Unlike the corporate world, Indian cricket is allergic to deadlines, plans and strategy. Excuses are in plenty and winning is an alien thought.

The mistake Mallya made was to expect results and a modicum of accountability. He also failed to realize when it comes to survival, all the senior player’s stick together.

Therefore, Mallya has to backtrack. This is just the beginning; Mallya, a past master in corporate warfare, will know how to put down a palace coup. Kumble and Dravid iconic days are over.

Not connected to this post. But yes, Otta, I will be posting regularly. Except, I'll be in crocket mode mostly. Because crock is what I specialize in. Ciao for niao.

Uber,

Intrigued by your crock mode. Which one is it?

Tactical retreat I suppose. Dra and Kum may find the meaning of this withdrawal after the tourney is over or after the RC are sure of not making to the table of four whichever occurs earlier.

R,

I agree. You can be sure there is something festering in the background.

Either Kumble and Dravid have decided to resign or Mallya has found a way out.

It is plainly obvious that Dravid is unwanted.

I think they offered to resign... arm twisting by these two dirks.

Vijay put his foot in his mouth and still managed to crib, "I didn't get what I wanted... waaah,waaah!". Yeah, and the sun rises in the north. Tell me another.

Firstly a warm welcome SISI.

Does your moniker reflect your state of mind or... :)

Yep, Mallya is a cry baby.
