I don't understand who has the authority at IBN-Live to publish our comments online. Whoever does is doing a very lousy job of it. I've posted at least 50 comments in the past year, using gramatically correct english, no profanities and without indicating any bias on basis of caste, nationality or gender. However, none of them have ever been published online. I'm sure this comment will meet the same fate.
While my comments and many others' are ignored, posts such as the following are published without blinking an eye -AKS says "I admire the honesty of Buchanan. He has the balls to say that hey guys lets focus on the playing 16..."
The admin can let some one get away after using 'balls' in his post, but comments from people like us are ignored.
You guys are a bunch of hypocrites who shy away from posting radical views. Up yours'!!!!

It's time the Indians learn to think and accept the practicality of things like the Aussies rather than reacting emotionally in any sphere. World over this is not a new phenomenom unlike here. If they don't have a need they don't need you which is simple in this private free enterprise scenario. If you have it in you, you are going to succeed anytime anywhere to be the true spirit. Anyways the contract has been honoured with handsome money being paid this far, so what is the big deal.

Most of you deploring this action... I pity you such Hypocrites. Those 5 guys got their money they don't have a realistic chance why should they waste key resources (time and money). Our mentality is typical babu mentality... no wonder most of government offices are filled with people who were least required... Get over it people. And best is these same set of people would burn effigies if those 5 guys are put into the playing 11 and the team loses.

I admire the honesty of Buchanan. He has the balls to say that hey guys lets focus on the playing 16 than create jinx of ever changing team. The group should be comfortable...with eachother now and know what to expect. Kudos Buchanan...Kirsten and Prasad and Robin hope you guys took some notes of this mentor...Dada must be really relishing this experience he is going to be back with a crack in the ODIs now for sure...especially with the crumbling wall exposed...he was never a leader...his team won the games for him...and when they failed he lost...Dada lead the way. Goodluck to you and maybe even Pawar should step down and let SRK take over, at least he knows how to bat and ball and run on the ground...wonder if Mr Pawar can ever achieve that feat...Cricket cannot be politics and quota ... please a sting operation on cricket on lines of the Hockey...time to accept what we all know and realise...India is the best team but too many leaders...to much politics and too many too have a say...well what ICL started off IPL has rocketted up. ICL should be endorsed too, there are a bunch of potential players which the BCCI can use in the National Side...but self-pride is more than country's pride here...

Finally MNC companies succeeded in controlling the dreams of youngster cricketers. It’s time to fight against it.

All 5 players stayed with the team so far and made few lakhs even without playing the game. I don’t see anything wrong now that they are being asked to leave to save some cost. It’s not that the loose anything financially or miss on anything more lucrative that they could have done other than playing for their local clubs for few hundreds in last month.

Good, emerging players need to watch out for political outfits like Kolkatta, Mumbai, Karnataka which are good on politics than Cricket.
In the future good young and emerging cricketers should give a miss for these teams. Not a good sign to play for such miserable teams. They keep you or kick you based on their whimps and fancies

I been a cricket fan but what has been happening is people who have nothing to do with improving cricket are making use of the platform to enrich there pockets and even the president who is a politicians should stick to being a politician and not mix with cricket the losers here are the public who are taken for a ride as they know Indian is the only county that can generate enough money for them to take home. Where is real cricket now? No where? Even bajji can get away with slapping as There is a lot of money involved for a slap for some people .Its sad how INDIA is taken for a ride as the as in the past by our rulers even during the RAJ.
