Agree, these guys are chronic underachievers and their sense of entitlement is baffling. Forget about them being stars, just as people, where is their humility ?
But i think the primary culprit is BCCI. Anything and everything about cricket is monopolized by BCCI, and someone with a basic knowledge of economics would know that monopolies have no reason to improve their products, in this case our cricketers.
I am just hoping that Subash Chandra's idea takes off. When we have teams that are managed in a budget and are striving for profits, we can see some exciting sport and real talent, not these spoilt lot.
For you left-leaning-swadeshi-India-shining brigade, mind you, BCCI themselves have successfully argued in Indian Supreme court that the indian cricket team is playing for BCCI-the organization, and not for India, the country, so its already a mismanaged private company. therefore you public and hence our govt has no business in meddling in their affairs unless you are a cabinet minister who also holds the position of the chairman, in which case you will start to think how to become the head of another bigger mismanaged club, the ICC, even while constituents are committing mass suicides . Well, i have digressed a lot, the bottomline is BCCI is the biggest reason for India's sad state of Cricket, and we the nation of cricket lovers are helpless spectators. Our elected representatives, mainly from Bongland were shreiking for Ganguly's inclusion, while none of them, save Lalu, have given a thought to india's debacle.
Whoever makes cricket reform in their manifesto probably has a good shot in the by-polls.
