This is the 4th match and your dada is spoken for. Did you see him blinking all along...he is too old to spot fast bowling Too old to run between wickets Too old to stop runs in the field Too old to hold catches.
He should become selector and sit with Vengsarker and others with cup of tea in his hands and give the bat to people like Sehwag

Hey Parimal
This was a good one man !! Of course I just picked up the names by imagination but you have been connecting the names brilliantly, man. I especially like the connection between Ravi Balan to Ravi Shastri. That was too good , chief!
In todays competitive world, I don't understand why the cricketers get paid only for participating in a match (apart from their annual contract money) irrelevent of their contribution to the match or win-loss!
I strongly believe the cricket board must implement a performance based per match payment system in which the total payments to players will be placed in a kitty. If the team wins, a bonus money will be added to the kitty. Then a performance index per player must be done at the end of the game by which the best performing player gets more match money and the worst player (for eg, a batsman getting out on duck, a bowler giving away maximum runs, or a player dropping many catches or misfielding severely) gets minimum from the kitty, independent of seniority or position.

difficult! people wud be too concerned with their own score, etc. no team spirit...moreover, it is really difficult to rationalise a performance. suppose a batsmen batting at 6 or 7 scores quickly but only 20-30 runs in 15 balls while a batsman at 1 or 2 score 75 runs in 85-90 balls...whose contribution wud be more.....dont give idiotic ideas, just because the players are playing bad cricket....better to keep them out of the team. even capitalist countries like England and Australia do not have such system in place beacuse it is difficult to implement.
