: "On what basis u consider SRT to be more talented than Kumble/Srinath.

: Shantanu to me on why he considers SRT as not talented.

perfectly rightly and I stand by it and will answer all flames.
However SRT's career is not over.Let it get over and then we shall
have a grand scrutiny of his career. 


: "Shridhar writes well but unforutantely gets emotional and exaggerates.
: That's why everyone loved to pull his leg"
: Shantanu to me in email

Agreed.Many of his points are also thought-provoking .

: "Shridhar is exaggerating. Kuruvilla was no marshall, never"
: Shantanu to me in email
Yes but he was still good enough.That is what Shridhar and I meant.

anyway a simiilar statemnt you made to ne by email:

"agreed Kuruvilla should have been in the side in the early 90's"

: "I agree that Agarkar has been hyped in rsc"
: Shantanu to me in email

: "I fully agree with RK's SRT/Kapil bashing"
: Shantanu in rsc

: Abhay Pandey to me and Shantanu in email

well the Pakistani fast bowlers themselves have admitted that large amounts of 
meat  in their diet helps them to bowl consistently fast.If you think I am cooking it
 up
check out the interviews of some of them on Cricinfo interactive.
I guess they know much better than RK about what why they are successfull in
their profession.
