The purpose of this article is not to reiterate old issues, but to point out new instances of bias.
Of course, one response to such bias would be to ignore it but Cricinfo
with its massive presence on the internet is too big to ignore. When a site is
so big with such broad viewership, ignoring it becomes tantamount to
sanctioning it and the ideas it propagates.
So for my observation for
today is the following.
As all of you are aware, I am sure, a historic
series is being played in England by India. Equally significant is the fact that this may well be the last tour for four of
India's great batsmen of the last decade: Sachin Tendulkar, Rahul Dravid, Saurav
Ganguly and VVS Laxman. This is also India's first Test series against a non-minnow
country after the WC07 debacle, and the "retirement" of the infamous Greg
Chappell as India's coach.
In light of this, Cricinfo decides to publish
a whole article about India's 1936 tour which was total disaster. You can read
the details here.
The contents of the article are not
of dispute here (I wasn't there and have no other information to judge the
article's veracity), but the article itself. Why this article now? Why do it
just after India had a comprehensive win over England?
How about writing an
article on the 1971/72 series where Wadekar and his men trounced the mighty
England on their own soil with BS Chandrashekar taking 6 wickets for 38 runs in
the second innings of the third test to seal the test and series for India? Or
how about the 2002 series where Ganguly and his boys came back after a defeat in
the first test to even the series (with Sachin, Dravid and Ganguly all scoring
centuries)? The 1971/72 series has not been mentioned on Cricinfo for a long
time and the 2002 series is only mentioned in passing. Yet, the 2002 series would be
the most relevant to discuss and analyze, since many of the players who
participated in that series (on both sides) are still playing.
An
article about a debacle (Indian or otherwise) is not necessarily out of place
but its mention to the exclusion of all the others that could have been written
indicates bias.
The motivation for doing so is
not unfathomable. It is to create a mindset where it does not really matter how
well India does, it will not be given the same prominence as its failures. Don't
get me wrong. The bias is not so overt that the veneer of impartiality will be
obvious and be called just that - a veneer. It is more insidious since the veneer
is protected and polished. Let me explain.
For example, there is some
coverage given to Zaheer Khan and his superior bowling performance however more
attention is paid to Sreesanth and his failings to control his emotions. Another
example, the jelly bean incident is labeled a childish prank rather than a
violation of Cricket rules which should have resulted in the banning of the
perpetrators. If the ball had landed on those jelly beans and deviated from their normal course, at best
it would have got the batsman out and at worst caused bodily harm yo a tailender ill-equipped to handle it.
The Sreesanth bouncer and no-ball are given extraordinary prominence by comparison.
That's all for today. Next, my take on Sambit Bal and his editorial skulduggery and more episodes of
the Daily Dump from Cricinfo.

Quote:Vasu
India rarely go into the middle of the final Test of a series away - barring Bangladesh and Zimbabwe - leading 1-0 and in the driver's seat.
But that's exactly where they find themselves, and this could provide its own challenges. The fact that every Indian batsman scored double-figures, and more so that numbers seven and eight plundered 200 runs between them shows how good this pitch still is for batting. So, if India expect English wickets to fall in a heap, they might just get a bit frustrated.

Quote:During the England tour he spoke about the lack of proportion among Indian fans. His every move is dissected threadbare and, for the first time in his career, he is being roasted for an aspect of his game other than his batting. His frustrations were apparent during the England tour: he lambasted a television reporter for running a speculative story and, at Old Trafford, left the post-match press conference in a huff after being constantly being interrupted.

"The only regret, if at all, that a cracking match was decided by a mistake, and not a burst of brilliance," wrote editor Sambit Bal, referring to Pakistani batsman Misbah-ul-Haq who got out trying to loft the ball over the keeper's head with only five runs left to win.

Quote:93.6 Lee to Dhoni, no run, good length delivery outside the off stump, left alone to the keeper
Quote:93.6 Lee to Dhoni, no run, done him like a kipper, or a dressed lamb, anyway the ball nipped back in from outside off, on a good length, and though he shaped to leave it, it nearly brushed the outside edge

Quote:38.4 Clark to Ganguly, FOUR, there's just a little bit of room outside off stump and Ganguly plays the square drive past point for his first boundary
Quote:38.4 Clark to Ganguly, FOUR!!, touch short of good length delivery on the off, angling away from the left hander, Ganguly goes on the backfoot and gets on top of the bounce, punches it to deep backward point for four, nothing wrong with the delivery but the shot on that occasion was simply extraordinary!

Quote:One factor tilting the balance in Sri Lanka's favour is its experienced stars, compared to the mostly youthful Indian team. In the end, though, consistency will determine which team makes it to the finals

Quote:Ian Harvey: The former Australia allrounder emerged as the top scorer of the tournament with 266 runs from seven matches at 44.33, and he also took his team, the Chandigarh Lions, to the summit clash, where they eventually lost to the Chennai Superstars.
