Cricketier G
Some of you might have visisted the area around Portugese Church - Gokhale Road - and might have seen a bylane there by the name of Cricketier Vijay ... someone. This is indeed a relevation for we didnt know that those who play this game are not cricketers but are cricketiers. Anyway this small aside, gives us the title for this post.
We all know why Cricketier G has been dropped from the Indian cricket test team. Its simple. The requisite material didnt reach upstairs. When everything in the world revolves around money and sex, then how can a puny old game like cricket and its cricketiers be left out. Many feel its a matter of camps changing - the Marathas coming in place of the Bongs and thereby flushing out the other camps' players. Now one would wonder why ABC managed to stay in the team for so long. Perhaps he was keeping people happy. This is feasable to some extent for all of us know that the ABC stays in a small flat (all flats are always supposed to be small, even if they have 36 bedrooms) and not a bungalow (all bungalows are always supposed to be big, even if there is only place for the watchmans cabin). Sometime ago we had heard that ABC's wife had been spotted as she huffed and puffed her way up to the x'th story of her building (since the lifts were not working). Now one wonders that why would the wife of such a great celebrity cricketier, wash her own clothes in her own sweat, when probably the guy has enough money to rent a helicopter to fly her up to her flat when there the lifts are out of order. The reason perhaps is simple. Perhaps ABC doesnt have enough to rent the helicopter. So where did the money go ? Where did it go ? Where ... ?
Ans. : (This paragraph has come full circle).
Cricket administration and selection is a lethal and lucrative business. Dont sweat it out in the hot sun, trying to make it to the Indian team. Instead, get yourself into the selection commitees. Money will just pour in while you see the sweat pour from the cricketiers wives.
By the way we were supposed to be talking about Cricketier G. Anyway he's now gone. The selectors have found new sheep. Perhaps if G plays in some games too, it wont make much of a difference. Anyway when the thunderbolts from the Australians and Pakistanis come raining down on our boys - we know the result, irrespective if Cricketier G is in the team or not.
The media does indeed entertain us always. What would we do without them.
I have nothing against ABC and others. This post is meant to highlight the fact that money rules in all quarters of life - be it a game. The fact that a game and some of its proponents were mentioned, is just incidental. The helicopter story is just a media fairytale. Thats what they do best - spin tales. And the public does what it knows best - lap up these tales.
