Some seem to get more chances than others. Under Shastri it seems some animals are MORE equal than others if you catch my drift. Favouritism exists - its a fact in the sub continent.
Once he claimed himself to be boy friend of sebatini..Lol.... He was a good commentator...
@Arvind and the rest....
Watching India giving the South Africans a battering.........

Yep, boring it has become though.
Our wrist spinners doing great. Keeping Jadeja and Ashwin away from limited over format.
Cant believe both havent been selected. Shows the depth of Indian cricket at the moment.
DidN't Jagmohan Dalmiya and Saurav Ganguly act Selfishly as long as it was possible
Both of them had to be literally KICKED out
Players like Laxim ratan Shukla ; Deep dasgupta ; Ashok Dinda (all from Bengal )
all Benefitted from the Position of Ganguly and Dalmiya ; How soever small that Benefit might have been

Not sure if India is playing really well or SA is playing really bad. Anyways a Win is a Win.

It's difficult to think of South Africa actually playing badly; perhaps not at their usual pace and force. I'd prefer to see it as an Indian renaissance, in spite of all the politics introduced by Ravi Shastri and supported by an immature Kohli.
First bilateral series win for Team India in South Africa. 
So Shastri really was like that? I was watching Azhar once (terrible movie with the worst ever casting, btw), and I saw the character that was supposed to be Shastri, and I was amazed, because I'd never heard anything about him being a playboy or whatever.
One of the most talentless players of the game who achieved plenty through sheer grit and grind . The rest is exaggeration .
I see, decent commentator too. Can't stand him as a coach though, since he essentially just functions as an extension of Kohli (who I'm beginning to dislike more and more as captain). Between those two, and decisions like picking Rohit "Talent" Sharma; I've lost a lot of interest in the team, and didn't even bother watching any matches after the second Test loss.
If being a commentator means one relies on a few stock in trade quotations , then he's a commentator. He had the ingredients of a good coach , a few years ago . I wonder if the good life and the attendant perks with it have dulled it to the extent of him being a handmaiden of VK. It seems so at first glance . Any doubts would be erased in about a years time following tough tours to Australia , England & the crowning glory - the World Cup.
Lol, nothing groundbreaking, but I've heard worse. And I really hope he's pushed out before those important matches; at the very least before the World Cup.
