    vaas made some money playing International cricket and wants some more courtesy Mangalorians. As far as Stadiums are concerned Yeddi is is going to Donate his land if he goes to jail for 10 years Hopefully we can have a stadium in Yeddi Land, not in Mangalore

    Just one tournament will not produce quality players. What we need is opportunities to our children to learn the basic techniques of playing cricket. In Russia, I am told a baby learns to swim before even sitting down or standing up. That is why they have world class swimmers. In the same way, if our children are taught skills of cricket at the young age, we will have good cricketers in future. I admire Pravin Kumar, who learnt the skills by watching TV and made it to the national team. If approached, I am sure the government will give the land for the stadium.

    Can you imagine international cricketers playing on pebbles and stones without the grass and the turf wicket? Are they willing to play on it. We have to just wait and see. You cannot have a formula 1 race on the streets of mangalore. You need a international standard race track to attract formula 1 drivers, similarly you cannot attract international cricketers to a "Maidan". Is it a joke. Time will tell. Good luck DKCA.

    We do not have 2 to 3 acre land in whole of DK to have a full fledged cricket stadium!! What are we talking and what our most corrupt little ministers are talking!!? Mangala stadium!!? It is a sports stadium!! Not a cricket stadium! If some authority has courage....let trhem make a good cricket stadium to hold Ranji stadium to start with.....They can only invite top class players and no stadium to show our potential!! We are happy with attacks, mud slinging, denotification and so on...Should I add Jai hooo..? I will not until we have few cricket stadiums around....,failures!!!!
    Good luck to NMPT Venue!
