Money talks in Super Bowl 10:08pm on 07 Feb 2009 Dear me Mihir, you have hit a new low. What is this article about? How is it the 'inside track on sport' in any way? A blog is supposed to be exciting, informative, provocative. Yours is dull, dull dull. Please BBC, recognise your stipulation that journalists follow the 'on the one hand, but on the other hand' type of (supposedly impartial) journalism produces a boring mess.
Moores set to lose Pietersen battle 12:39pm on 07 Jan 2009 Mihir...you were wrong in your prediction, but hey it can happen. What is now pretty galling though is to hear you on 5 Live talking as if you knew what was going on all the time - giving us the 'inside line on sport.' The BBC has been outwitted on this story today by a nimbler, harder-nosed news organisation ( no names).
Conflicting views on state of cricket 8:49pm on 13 Dec 2008 Superjules 77. All BBC blogs are boring because of the constraints put upon BBC journalists. In the interests of 'fairness' they have to present a 'on the one hand, but on the other hand' approach. It is - as Mirhir's 'blog' frequently proves - immensely dull. But the BBC feels it has to do everything and can't just restrict itself to doing some things well. It needs a finger in everyone' pie. I'm sure Mihir actually has some trenchant interesting opinions...just don't expect read then on here
Thrills and spills at the Super Series 5:54pm on 29 Oct 2008 You read like the local radio person you once were. No analysis, no journalism, a desire not to offend...I can almost hear you saying " And now, from 1983, Kajagoogoo's monster hit" at the end of your 'blog'
Thrills and spills at the Super Series 4:58pm on 29 Oct 2008 Oh Adam, Mike Selvey was right about your undistinguished debut as TMS top-dog. What has happened to objectivity, or even just telling us what we can see from the Sky coverage? Did Sir Allen sit you on his knee too?
Sports leaders dodge the crunch 8:37pm on 25 Oct 2008 Mihir...just a few short weeks ago you were telling us how the credit crunch had forced down the asking price of Newcastle United. (complete with a raft of incorrect prices - both of Mike Ashley's purchase and sale) But now - hey presto- the credit crunch doesn't apply to sport...isn't this danegrous stuff for the BBC to be touting?..aren't you supposed to offer us facts? Put yourself out of your misery and stop 'blogging'
Tendulkar marks his true greatness 9:31pm on 19 Oct 2008 Oh God....let's give it a rest. Go read the Sunday Times, Sunday Telegraph, even (God help us) the Mail on Sunday for insightful, reflective, INTERESTING pieces about an exceptional talent...BBC please put Mihir out of his blogging misery, and restrict him to dull 2-ways at half six in the morning on the Today programme about a patch of land in Stratford that can't be comupulsorily purchased, thus throwing the whole 2012 Olympics into jeopardy....please
Tendulkar marks his true greatness 10:11pm on 18 Oct 2008 Come on Mr Moderator... a post at 9.30-ish still shouldn't be left hanging at 10.10pm...what's the problem? Can't get hold of Mr Bose to check the title of his autobiography? Worried it might offend? Proof positive that this is not a blog and the BBC shouldn't be advertising it as such. Why not stick to broadcasting a bit of news at teatime, and then again at ten o'clock. Leave the cutting edge to those that are allowed to be cutting edge.
Tendulkar marks his true greatness 10:02pm on 18 Oct 2008 ...and why on earth does it take an age to 'moderate' a submission. The whole point of this is to have an instant discussion. I know the BBC is merely interested in the internet because every other media organisation is. But what a clod-hopping way to regulate it....don't bother...
Tendulkar marks his true greatness 9:36pm on 18 Oct 2008 ...and another thing. Aren't blogs supposed to illicit responses from their authors? You, Mr Bose, just seem to sit in haughty internet silence after posting. Come on, having being one of the (presumably) few people to have read your autobiography (The Sporting Alien) you can actually write. If you put your mind to it.
