Politicians can't keep away as long as there is money in it even if Sharad Pawar goes, there is Arun jaitley (BJP, Delhi) and the great Laloo Yadav (RJD, Bihar) who are heading their respective state organisations and are in queue for the top job
in fact, be ready to see Laloo's son (who plays for his school team in Delhi) in INDIAN colours in a few years time
and as far as cricket is concnered, it may not end at the level of Football, Hockey and other sports, but it will not achieve agreat progress either
