LOVE FOR THE NATION
by Vimalesh Banarasi on Apr 09, 2007 07:10 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Hi guys,
I think the board has taken a right stand by restricting the players to 3 companies. By this way they will be able to concentrate on their sole target and job-TO PLAY WELL CONSISTENTELY.

In the past what used to happen is the new guys who do well used to go mad by signing 10-12 companies straight away after performing in 10-12 matches as if they want to earn the bucks for their whole life in 1 year.
Money's "HAVAS" is always bad. By this policy they will still earn a reasonable amount of money but this policy will also force them to perform more n more better so that they can earn that much money from 3 companies which they used to earn from 7-8 companies. This urge of continuous performance will help ultimately our team. Board must stick with this policy and should not change it in future what so ever the circumstances.
The other good thing the board has done is abolishing the CONTRACT system which keeps the players on guard always becos this will going to be their sole source of income from matches.

WHATEVER, but tell me guys isn't that shame for us that our players are driven by money and not by National Pride. Look at Aussies 'The Baggy Green Cap' is enough for him to do good performance. Playing for Australia is enough for him. Alas, would that our players develop that LOVE FOR THE NATION.

There is nothing wrong in even endorsing 30 ads, but you are expected to play.

The reason for the defeat is not endorsements. It is because the Selectors selected all lame ducks and injured old horses. Did Sewagh, Irphan, Sachin had cleared the fitness Test? They didn't and still found their places int he WC squad. Agarkar is in the Team despite his repeated worst performances. Where are we will not give more than one chance for the budding lads like VRV Singh. Why the chances were not give for the Fit players like Balaji and Nehra.Why didn't the select VVS.Laxman in the first place instead of Sewagh?

The Team lost because of the wrong selection and not because the members were endorsing Products.
