India lost yet again yesterday. After winning the test series and a couple of first class matches they had me worried. I usually get worried when people are not their natural self, and a little irritated too.
But one good thing that has come out of India's long chain of dismal defeats is that now we can be pretty much sure that no one's fixing their matches. Nobody's paying the players to throw away the game. Why would anybody want to pay for what the team would do for free anyways? They would rather focus their efforts and finances on some other team, or if they are really serious, on some other sport altogether.
So rejoice! Our boys are clean...and they don't have to prove it by appearing in soap commercials. Sach-much, kaafi bada hai!
While on the subject of cricket and match fixing, I think BCCI's objection to a rebel league is justified. Obviously! If the domestic circuit goes professional, it might throw up some new talents that may eventually find their way into the national team. And then there would always be a chance that they might win a match. This uncertainity may lead to punters trying to make a quick buck. Get it? Its all the board's way of ensuring that the team performance remains predictable and the team free of any fixing scams. Thats thinking far!
