The Great Indian Laughter Champions
I have no idea why we needed to have a talent search for a laughter champion when we have the BCCI championing the cause.
Whenever the BBCI want to get something done, be it telecast rights or the right to cast, it seems to end up in the legal domain. I’ve heard rumors of the SC setting up a hotline with the BCCI so that the matters could be fast-tracked. The SC is also thinking of testing their bench strength when it comes to such issues. That it does this more often than the Indian cricket team is another issue altogether.
Yesterday, the review committee came to the conclusion that both Chappell and Ganguly should stay in the team. And it has also stated that from now on ‘performance’ was tantamount. So, were our cricketers playing gili-danda for so long? Maybe, there is going to be some accountability in team selection.
Interestingly, this clause is also applicable to Greg Chappell. I don’t know what the BCCI can do if we lose the home series with SL and SA. They had awarded Chappell a contract that would be valid till 2007. Are their chappals in store for Chappel? Only time will tell.
The only positive to come out this whole fiasco is titled in favor of the wives of the players. Finally, performance would be criterion that the players would look into.
