Why this needless regionalism? There were open trials and talented boys made it to the Academies. If the Nort-Eastern folks dominate it, it is hardly surprising. If you missed out, may be you should work harder and stop playing Cricket
Does it matter where they are from in India? As long as they are Indian, any argument such as the one about it being a North east team is absolutely pathetic. And for the record, 6 of the 13 players that were involved in today's game were not from North east. But that still makes you sound incredibly prejudiced.
So basically it also means Daniel can't score..we really need Milan and Rakesh back in the squad.. If we get 2 wins out of the next 3 matches we can qualify for semis..we have 2 home games out of 3
Fuck off all the blind fucks with short term memory....Earlier people used to say Goa quota is indian team.... That savio is influencing team selection.... Wasnt that wrong on part of ifn members..... To say such things..... Did u guys have any proof for ur claims..??? Answer me....
Nobody cares from where they are. But they should actually be U18. I found most of our players were over age. And this problem seems to be prevalent in a certain part of India.
So a 25 year old player from that region will obviously be better than a actual U18 player from other parts of the country.
@domnic I would not repeat how they were scientifically tested for age. Even for argument's sake let's agree that those NE guys are overage and hence got selected. You are implying here that the boys who came for trial from other regions, including Goa, were all underage which cannot be correct. So the situation is that boys from all over country who came for trials were overage and the NE guys were selected. Even in such scenario, the NE guys are clearly more talented than others. I rest my case
@Frankenstein You seem to have suddenly appeared from nowhere like a comet and using this novel swear word we never heard before. Save that for somewhere else please.
As for your Armando argument, he was criticized for deliberate regional bias. It wasn't like he selected the best Indian players and majority turned out to be Goans. He was accused of promoting the players from whom he took cut during club recruitment. Get it cleared in your head.
We do not want anymore of this pathetic regionalistic mentality. Please refrain. Post arguments on merits, not on assumptions
