Methods of improving Indian cricket
by baranikumar mahadevan on Apr 02, 2007 06:37 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

I have trying my best to come up with strategies.
Ten days back I suggested on this forum that ICC should split into two. Division I would regulate countries like Australia, West Indies,New Zealand,South Africa,Pakistan,England,Bangladesh,SriLanka and Zimbabwe. Division II would be India,Holland,Bermuda,Canada,Kenya,Ireland,Scotland and any new country joining cricket and there would be separate World Cups for each division. In our division India would have a reasonable chance of winning World Cups from now on.
Some 3 days back I recommended we send our experts to our countries. Sharad Pawar could become Sports Minister in Australia and start scams, court cases, money siphoning and bring down the cricket board there in a few months. Kiran More could be sent as selector to New Zealand and in a few weeks time build the worst team possible. Then the other remaining selectors should be sent to the remaining countries to do a similar job.
Now if all this does not work let us not lose hope. There is yet another plan. Let us ask the corporates to spend these absurd amounts of money - not on Indian cricketers , but all the cricketers of the other countries especially the leading players. It is well known that money corrupts most and at least we can try to corrupt them. A few hundred crores for each person might get a Ponting or a Shane Bond to think about early retirement. If they retire early our cricketers have a better chance to face the other newcomers.

Dear friend
I am sorry to say that u r not having any knowledge about working ICC, Dear ICC is already splitted in 2 divn, that is why qualifiers from divn 2 like Bermuda , Ireland , Scotland and other Minows have allowed to play in Divn 1 world cup based on their performance in divn 2
Your second suggestion regarding use of corporate money is also not a good one, I request pls read it again and decide what does it mean to uplift the performance of Indian cricket team

Regards
