Kudos Jaggu Dalmiya

Dalmiya has been the president of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) since 1992-93, and has never lost an election of any kind!

But this time around, the battle was especially hard, with so many people joining hands to oppose him. First there was the request from the chief minister asking Dalmiya not to contest. Then came the email from Sourav Ganguly damning Dalmiya for his alleged role in leaking a confidential email to the press and thereby hastening Ganguly’s exit. In fact, the elections had become so politicised that the ruling Left Front and Communist Party of India (Marxist) were split on whom to support.

So now where does Sourav go?

“He is a baccha. It's not right to talk about bacchas.” Immortal words from Dalmiya. I think Sourav’s finished. No matter what Dalmiya says.

What Sourav did was horrendous. He had no business making those statements against Dalmiya (http://content-ind.cricinfo.com/india/content/story/254107.html). Now it would serve him right if he was never selected again.
