Team out of bounds for the media

KOLKATA OCT. 28. The Indian cricketers remained out of bounds for the media at the Eden Gardens here.

The police and the organisers saw the media as the biggest security threat to the cricketers and the scribes could just watch the `nets' from the terrace above the dressing room. The photographers were put to great inconvenience, having to shoot from a difficult angle and height. The officials of the Cricket Association of Bengal (CAB) pleaded helplessness.

"The orders (to keep the media out) have come from the police,'' said an official.

This ill-treatment of the media, especially the lensmen, remains the only sore point at this otherwise wonderful venue.
