CRICKET AND POLITICS

POLITICS...... POLITICS.......AND POLITICS.
Everywhere politics. Nothing else. We breathe politics, eat politics, see politics, sleep, laugh, cry and everything politics and everywhere. No merit, no efficiency, no nothing is counted. If you are efficient and skillfull, you will be shown the door. As is done to Sourav Ganguly, the deposed captain of the Indian Cricket Team.
The board of selectors, as is said, sometime back, " A bunch of Jokers".
justified their name with their actions, by throwing out Ganguly.
What is the justification? It is simple logic, any commoner will say, you replace the opener with a replacement. You want to take Wasim Jaffer, OK, throw out Gautam Gambhir. It is as simple as that. Where is the point to throw Ganguly. The Jokers have no explanation. Flimsy reasons or excuses, given by the Chairman of the Jokers club, will not hold water.
If you take performancewise. Ganguly performed well, one cannot compare Goutam Gambhir with Ganguly. Agewise, Ganguly still got a couple of years cricket in him and he proved it at Delhi against SriLanka.
What happened to the, much hyped slogan " we don't distrub the winning team". Why a sudden decision on Ganguly? He is not only a player, but a great Captain of the team, who brought laurels to the country. He was already given the title as the best and successful captain of Indian team. Are the members of the Jokers Club blind to the achievements brought by Ganguly? If yes, let the chairman of the selectors board, Mr. Kiran More, may be recommended for Dritharashtra Award, just on the lines of Arjuna Award, awarded by our Government.
All this hype may be ignored, it is common knowledge, that in our country and in Cricket, the POWER(PAWAR) politics are prevailed. Dalmiya's era is over and now Pawar era started. All, who were with Dalmiya, are to be shunted out. That is that, and Ganguly is one of them.
Let us see, what was the performance of Virendra Sehwag, against SriLanka, ODIs and tests. It is dismal, he is out of form and careless when he holds the bat. Is he indespensible to the team.
The equation goes like this to accommodate Sehwag:
Yuvaraj, Gautam Gambhir, and Ganguly. Who is to be axed ?
I pity Ganguly, the way he was humiliated by the selectors.
You know, what is the meaning of POLITICS.
POLY means many and Tics are small blood sucking parasites.
So, I need not explain what the POLITICS means.
