Boria Majumdar, writing in the Times of India, says the time has come for the BCCI to have a proper media policy and appoint a professional media manager following differences emerging between the press and the players during the Australian tour.
That the media isn't all negative was evident in the way the Kohli innings was reported, both on television and in print. The media was unanimous in hailing the innings as one of the best ever played in the 50-over format, an incredible feat which has given India a chance of making the final. Yet, at the slightest sign of a crisis, the first blame always goes to the media, the cricket establishment's favourite whipping boy.
