It is an iconic day for the cricket purists.The 500th test match is being played in Kanpur .A host of cricketing luminaries, contemporary and vintage were part of the distinguished invitees
The invites were from BCCI and the august gathering made for great nostalgia
The only blot to this momentous occasion was spotting Azharuddin in the illustrious mix!
While there is no denying that Md.Azhar was one of the most gifted and stylish batsmen to have graced Indian cricket,there is no denying the fact that he had a role to play in match fixing.
Are we so swayed by the dubious "victim of circumstances" portrayal of him in a Bollywood flick that we let bygones be bygones?
Players like Azhar and Jadeja should be nowhere near a cricketing discussion panel,ground or anything/anywhere to do with cricket.
We need to be careful on what kind of impression are we setting for the future generation of kids who would be cricketing stars....Do we want to say that its fine to give into temptations as long as you are talented and have prior illustrious records to boast?
Integrity before Talent.....Mantra for life...
