In the absence of any productive national priority, we are over-obsessed with the game called cricket.
One thing is very clear. The Indian Cricket Team is rewriting the rule book. There is no consistency in their performance. The only concern of team 11 is how to have the best commercial endorsements and make money.
It is a matter of great shame that for a population of over 100 corers, we find it difficult to select 11 best players who can prove the merit by their performance rather than the ads they do!!!
And coming to the BCCI, the general public will never know what transpired inside the four walls and who is right and who is wrong. There is no transparency. The whole thing is full of politics and coteries.
Because of this sport which has got a very limited international popularity, we are badly loosing on other sports like hockey, football and athletics.
This is only but natural, when you have 3 very senior players - Tendulkar, Saurav and Dravid - the fight for the power will go on and on.
Make a team of 100 best players of the country based purely on performance, pool the 11 and ask them to perform. If they don't, replace them fast with new faces.
