It's cricket, not 'kirkit': Dungarpur to Dalmiya
22.34 IST   04th Oct 2005

By Agencies

Former cricket board chief Raj Singh Dungarpur on Tuesday hit out at his successor Jagmohan Dalmiya by saying the latter did not know a thing about the game and gets tied up in knots when he talks about pure cricket and not its politics.

Dungarpur also accused Dalmiya of ‘scheming’ and ‘manipulating men and matters without qualms’ and declared that the Kolkata businessman should be the last man to talk about logic.

Issuing a statement rebutting Dalmiya’s criticism levelled at him through a private TV channel, Dungarpur also said that the statement of Dalmiya to the channel reflected his (Dalmiya’s) ‘confused state of mind and muddle thinking’.

“I am not surprised to see my friend Jagmohan Dalmiya tie himself in knots when he talks about pure cricket, and not its politics. He is invariably at a loss for words when he talks about cricket because he just doesn’t know a thing about the game. No wonder, he pronounces it as ‘kirkit’ or ‘krikate’ and fortunately he doesn’t have to spell it,” Dungarpur said.

“His reported statement to a private television channel shows his confused state of mind and muddled thinking. He should at least be clear about what leak he is talking about. As usual he is brilliantly vague about what he said about Mohammad Azharuddin’s selection when I was chairman of the selection committee,” the former board chief said.
