Ravi, agar hum buddhe hi chale gaye to bacchon ka kya hoga , dude the oldies are the backbone of the team, this step of yours would make the team suffer and hence it doesnt matter what captain decides but i as a member, and one of the very few oldie of Chennai cant let you withdraw your nomination from the team and u would have to continue woth us . We wont give u any option here

[an_elusive_lady]

the poll was only supposed to help pick a captain who had max contacts with everyone and who cd co ordinate with everyone well. i m sure all the guys who were nominated and who might have been missed out are peoplewith a lot of experinece and who can guide the team well.

we do need to help each other out so that we can gain the max out of each other's strengths... lets just forget the captain issue for now...

Requirement for a Captain- huh

Fellow puys who were with me during the season 07

Try racking ur brain and tell me which team u all followed for inspiration..?
Where did u go for SOLACE??

I'm not sure if any of ur answers differ from the 4 letters Which thread did u click open to find motivation flowing..BBLT
Am I right?

As of the nominataions that I have seen so far.. Most of us are BBLT material.. Obsessed was already a member of that and I got hooked onto PG jus because of BBLT 07.. Now wat made BBLT so great.. why was it i went about reading that..
Because it was only there, that I was able to find equals.. I open DT or UDT and i find scores that I can only dream abt.. Believe me.. it was the likes of Hameed (now XLRI), Deep(Nirma) and Tanveer that kept me going the prev season.. I was a very passive poster than but an active thanker.. Have a look at my thank count... Most of them would be on the BBLT thread.. And actually I never even posted on the SIMCAT threads.. with scores ranging from 68 - 92 I felt kind of ashamed to even post.. But its the inspiration and motivation that I could gather that held me together

Now coming to the point.. as with BBLT - 07, lets be a team.. not a bunch of individuals like ENGLAND Soccer Team.. who are stars in their own way but have not won a world cup for past 60 odd years.. Lets remain united in all issues.. Lets not create a ruckus at the start itself.. Remember IIM results will be out only by May 09 and we need to support the whole lot of puys until then.. Let our thread be like the BBLT one where all other city members find solace and keep pouring in their thoughts.. Let us look at the long term goal of getting to a good position in life and not ultra short term ones like "Captain of Chennai DT 08".. and surely not "Nominator of Captain of Chennai DT 08".. Hope I was able to put my views across..

Will always support Chennai.. Whether it is CHENNAI SUPERSTARS or CHENNAI SUPERKINGS or CHENNAI DT.. Asking RMBT and Andy to choose the skipper as they know almost all the nominees personally.. Let them decide and pick one amongst the Chennai makkal

And I propose our team to be called.. "THE ORIGINAL BBLTIANS"

PS: Hope no one sues me on BBLT coyyright issues

Regards
Geo

All right guys.. enough of stripping each other naked. Now get dressed and get one thing drilled into your heads. This whole exercise I think was not started to engage teams in campaigning for the slot of captain, manager etc. Please re-read gnr's post if anyone has got this intiative wrongly. We are all here for one purpose and it will be better if we don't forget that.

Let us not put up a strip-tease show in front of the whole forum here. If the issue of captaincy is causing such an uproar let us not go ahead with it right now. Probably rmbt can get in touch with rohit and see if we can postpone selecting a captain till things actually settle down. First let us concentrate on the bloody mocks. Like I said, let the men prove it on the field. A captain will emerge by himself from within the team. There is no point disintegrating over one issue and trying to behave like the Pakistani cricket team

All those who have withdrawn nominations, ran out of the team, climbed upon roofs and trees.. just let the steam condense a bit and think with cool heads.

RMBT,

Put off the selection of the captain for now. Select the team first and let us see how we can proceed. Basic flaw here is, without even selecting the team, we have decided to select the captain! Let us all know what you decide.

And finally an appeal to everyone. Please put up a more mature show and stop being 12 year olds now.

Cheers..

Ravi,

I totally back George's post. I don't see any reason for emotions to be running so high here.. This is team Chennai - Our team.

There are no set rules, there is no set authority, we build the team and without even one of us, the team would become empty.

The poll that monster created was made absolutely innocently. There has never been, or will be any bias against any puy.

The selection of a captain is not as complex an issue as we are making it to be, and definately not an issue for resignation from the team.

This team is not made up of 99%ilers! In fact, none of us are 99 %ilers!

The poiint of the league is not to get the toppers, form teams and indulge in browbeating the others.. The point is to get the best out of ourselves!

I am proud of the nominations that have come in for Team Chennai and the unity in the city's puys!

Let us keep it this way, let us all keep the levels of enthusiasm up and ignore trivial issues like this..Please note - Nothing is determined.. we will make the decisions collectively - everyone has a say and every1 can express himself..

Let us act as the mature individuals that we are, Please!

Kaptain vijaykanth is the best one to lead our team..he can crack all the exams with one hand and sometimes with his leg....n he has very good knowledge on tamil nadu(politics) with which he can supply unlimited gyaan of us during the GD/PI season...... but the only thing is he doesnt have a PG account (for ppl who don know Kaptain, watch the tamil film Narasimha).

(Sorry if somebody doesnt like the above PJ)

Ravi, don get off man...Kaptain or no Kaptain our team will rock...lets go with George's suggesstion...Let Ravi and MK sit with RMBT to select the team n lets take it from that point...
Here i m suggessting Ravi and MK as Ravi knows almost all of us well (if not very well) and MK is the man behind all the initial ground work for our team

One last thing before we close this....

MK

Monster.., Even Indiana Jones, Murty001, Hantan and Fabio knows me..(These are the guys who had nominated themselves this yr apart from us and apart from few more who doesnt know me..or for that matter doesnt know anybody here as most of them are newBs)
And all 2007 chennai junta knows me

About Indiana, he is my college junior (my bus mate actually) and a very good friend of our Prahalad and George....his name is Prabhakar...
I don know why he s not regular in PG these days..I don think he knows that his name has been nominated here for Kaptaincy ..anyway i ll call him today n ask him to be more active

So lets kick start our team selection..but as in BBLT....to be or not to be..whether we be a part of the playing 11 (or 15) or not..every chennai junta has to participate in this thread and we should kick a@@ all the time...

Teams like these are more about bonding and learning from each other than showing off our mock scores..once the team is selected we ll come up with some plan for mock analysis and gyaan sharing on a regular basis

4 MONTHS TO GO AND THE PAY BACK TIME STARTS

[Indiana Jones]

Hi guys ,

I was away from the thick of action for a day(just a couple of hurried thanks here and there)... And wat do I see ?

To be very honest, the poll choices were a sort of a surprise really..... But I really dont fit into the captaincy slot just for the very reason why Lee Germon was not a big hit as a captain of the Kiwis .....

Amongst the other three options, my vote would be (is, in fact) for Monsterkarthik.I was a keen follower of the SP Jain threads last season and the way this guy posted was really impressive... Just some 5 or 6 posts if I am right, but he looked pretty balanced and composed ..... Not that the other two are not , but he really made a very good first impression as someone who doesnt worry about by-gones.....
And this was only among the choices fielded.....

But the best part was that people did not think twice to 'call a spade a spade' . This is one quality which would do good to both the individual members as well as the team. Good going.....

About me :
As Obssessed said, I was his junior in college and a classmate of Prahalad85(the biggest CAT don I have ever seen or met or read or watever !!!) and also if George_863 is the same George that I know from my college days, then I know him as well.... But thats all about it.
But of-course we puys will be meeting very often from here-on and I should very well get to know the others as well.... And I had always thought of Obssessed as a quite,unassuming guy while in college... The kind of support he seems to have !!!!!! Way to go ......
And if he was a candidate I would have definitely considered him..

Cheers .........

Come on Chennuys, dont turn this fantastic Premier league into daily hindi TV saas bahu serials...!! Remember that you are chennuys, and just like IPL, we have to outclass almost every other team.

As murty has already pointed out....Lets choose the captains later without getting emotional about the issue and lets not carry this discussion any further about in/out or captainship.


Tasks of high priority:
Tell me the name of other selectors(as chuck isnt reachable) and set a deadline for the nomination asap so that Team can be selected.
