'వారు ఐదుగురు కలిసినా రాయుడు కంటే తక్కువ'

రాయుడు వైదొలగడంపై సెలక్షన్ కమిటీని తప్పుపట్టాడు గౌతమ్ గంభీర్. ఐదుగురు సెలక్టర్లు కలిపి వారి క్రికెట్ కెరీర్లో రాయుడు చేసినంత స్కోరు కూడా చేయలేదని తెలిపాడు.

అంబటిరాయుడు అంతర్జాతీయ మ్యాచ్ల నుంచి వైదొలగడంపై గౌతమ్ గంభీర్ స్పందించాడు. ఎమ్ఎస్కే ప్రసాద్ ఆధ్వర్యంలోని సెలక్షన్ కమిటీకి చురకలంటించాడు. ఐదుగురు సెలక్టర్లు కలిపి వారి క్రికెట్ కెరీర్లో రాయుడు చేసినంత స్కోరు కూడా చేయలేదని చెప్పాడు.

"నా ఉద్దేశం ప్రకారం సెలక్టర్లు ఈ ప్రపంచకప్లో బాగా నిరుత్సాహపరిచారు. కేవలం వారి వల్ల రాయుడు రిటైర్మెంట్ తీసుకున్నాడు. నిర్ణయాలు తీసుకునే నైపుణ్య లోపమే ఇందుకు కారణం. ఐదుగురు సెలక్టర్లు కలిపి రాయుడు చేసినన్ని పరుగులు కూడా చేయలేదు" -గౌతమ్ గంభీర్, భారత మాజీ క్రికెటర్

రాయుడు రిటైర్మెంట్ భారత క్రికెట్కు విచారకర సంఘటన అని గంభీర్ అభిప్రాయపడ్డాడు.

"3 శతకాలు, 10 అర్ధసెంచరీలు చేసిన రాయుడు లాంటి ఆటగాడు వైదొలగడం భారత క్రికెట్ చరిత్రలో విచారకర సంఘటన" -గౌతమ్ గంభీర్, భారత మాజీ క్రికెటర్.

రాయుడు 55 వన్డేల్లో 47.05 సగటుతో 1694 పరుగుల చేశాడు. ప్రపంచకప్లో గాయాల కారణంగా వైదొలిగిన ధావన్, విజయ్ శంకర్ స్థానంలో పంత్, మయాంక్ అగర్వాల్కు చోటు కల్పించింది బీసీసీఐ. నిరాశ చెందిన అంబటి రాయుడు రిటైర్మెంట్ ప్రకటించాడు.

LEADIN:
It was one small step for a man, one giant leap for mankind. 50 years ago, on July 20, 1969, man landed on the moon, leaving the first human footprints on its dusty surface.
The three NASA astronauts, Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins returned to a hero's welcome.
STORYLINE:
Armstrong and Aldrin spent 21 hours, 36 minutes on the moon's surface. After a rest period, that included seven hours of sleep, they began the journey home.
After a flight of 195 hours, 18 minutes, 35 seconds - about 36 minutes longer than planned - Apollo 11 splashed down in the Pacific Ocean, 13 miles from the recovery ship USS Hornet.
The trio, including command module pilot Michael Collins, returned to a hero's welcome.
President Richard Nixon greeted the Apollo 11 astronauts in their isolation unit aboard the USS Hornet.
On 13 August, crowds lined the streets of midtown Manhattan, New York to welcome the Apollo 11 astronauts.
In 1999, on the 30th anniversary of the moon landing, NASA welcomed back moon-walking astronauts to Florida, and replayed the countdown tape of the first mission to put men on the moon.
For Armstrong, the first man to walk on the moon, the historical event was above all symbolic of mankind's unlimited opportunities.
"In my own view, the important achievement of Apollo was a demonstration that humanity is not forever chained to this planet and our visions go rather further than that and our opportunities are unlimited," he says.
While there were only three riding in the cramped Apollo 11 capsule, thousands worked to put them in flight.
One of those behind the scenes was Rocco Petrone. He likened his job as launch director to that of a conductor leading an orchestra.
It was up to Petrone to get Apollo 11 off the launch pad and into orbit. After months of strenuous work, the most nail-biting part of the mission was lift-off, he said in 1999.
"Those few seconds were always the ones that I was most apprehensive, and I kept my eye, we had five arms or five very large - they went about 30, 40 feet and weighed literally tons - had a swing out of the way. And my eyes were always glued to those, one didn't move, you'd slice the bird, you're dead right there," he said.
Ten years later, veteran astronauts from several US Apollo space missions converged on Washington to mark the 40th anniversary of humans landing on the Moon.
Aldrin, the second human on the moon, said the emotion and historical nature of the flight were not topmost in the crew's thoughts.
"We opened the door to the future of exploration by touching down on another object," said Aldrin in 2009.
"Were we emotionally involved in that? No, we were trying to make a successful landing. And when we touched down, and I said 'contact' we looked at each other, and kind of briefly congratulated each other - but if something was wrong, we had to abort quickly or wait for two hours."
Armstrong died in August 2012 at the age of 82.
Washington's movers and shaker, the pioneers of space, and the everyday public crowded into the city's National Cathedral for a public interfaith memorial for a very private astronaut.
"You have now shown once again the pathway to the stars," Eugene Cernan, the last man to walk on the moon, said in a tribute to Armstrong.
"As you soar through the heavens beyond even where eagles dare to go, you can now finally put out your hand and touch the face of God."
Just ahead of the 45th anniversary of the moon landing, Aldrin described to a crowd at the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City what he was thinking as he was about to step on the lunar surface.
"So, I said; 'I'm going to reach back and partially close the hatch, making care not to lock it on my way out.' There was not even a handle on the outside," said Aldrin.
Aldrin clearly had fun telling the audience about the moon landing, even telling a few jokes.
"Now, up in the top picture, there's a UFO," he joked while watching footage of the landing.
U.S. President Donald Trump paid tribute to Aldrin at the beginning of his State of the Union speech in February this year.
On July 11 Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins will attend events at Apollo 11 launch pad at the Kennedy Space centre in Florida.
