Mountains and molehills and all that

A storm in a teacup an other such phrases come to mind when I think of the ruckus being raked up about the discord in the Indian team between Sehwag and Dhoni. Prem Panicker does a much, much job than I ever could of describing the inner workings of the birth of these controversies and the need to have a "story" that fuels them.

Here is his take on the episode. The interesting thing is that it was written BEFORE Dhoni came out with his prepared statement. Read Prem's take in its entirety.

And after the statement of solidarity from the Indian team, Panicker takes some time out to laud Dhoni for his open approach to dealing with such shenanigans.
