A parody of the plight....Indian Cricket

Don't mind the exaggerations, just mind the fun and pun...

No one on the entire mother earth was, but people in the Indian dressing room were anxiously awaiting the final and useless ODI match between India and Australia.

“Bad coin, baad coin” came the voice of one as he was tossing a coin several times, he was moaning as kept losing. It was Emmes Donie, the captain. He finally lost a series after his moves did not work out. “How come my fortune has run out?” he asked to no one in particular.

“I don't think so. Look outside, its raining” replied Sach Indulkar. “I was planning to play an epic innings or getting out early, now I can't do either”

Harebrained Sing and Proven Kumar came running from inside, “You mean we can't save the team after the batting collapse?”

“I'll call the groundsman a monkey and slap him, will it work?” asked Harebrained. “Won't work” said Proven and both went back in to give batting tips to the Indian top order.

“If we can't play, what about our pride?” asked Donnie. “Washed out” replied Indulkar, with a smug look.


Back in the Australian camp,

“Oh, its raining, is it? Hmm, hard luck. I thought may be we could push in a few more debutants” said Rarely Panting, the captain.

“I knew this would work! India is the ideal country to debut with and to regain lost form” he said, sounding like a foreign business investor.

“I mean, take Dogged BallinThere for example, who succeeded for doggedly putting the ball in there” he bragged.

“Right O, we too had a good time” said Shine and WhosHe.



Meanwhile, the Indian team was selected but no clear explanation was in sight, again.

“See people, I can't” said Chris SeeICant, chief selector. “Its only better if I didn't tell you guys” he said to the media.

Later in their cabal meeting, the selectors were chatting...

“Look at the bench of Aussies' strength” said one, jumbling his intention.

“But our bench is bigger, and warmer” said another, totally missing the point.

“We need a better domestic structure or tourney. Lets ask Modi, he quite powerful in such matters” replied SeeICant

“Who? The BCCI one or the BJP one?” asked same another, again missing the point as he was confused between politics and cricket.

Abruptly someone asked “But why was Wall Drive-ed driven out of the team? We could have won with him ”, still confused about the inclusion and exclusion of Wall.

“Its about sending the right signal” said SeeICant

“And whats that?”

Silence

(Everyone looked at each other's face for an answer and raised eyebrows)

“A few players are coming up, we need to hand them debuts” said one, breaking the silence.

“We'll play them against a team which is great to debut against!” said another, inflating like a baloon, having a eureka moment.

“But India is the only such team” was the terse reply, putting a pin into the aforementioned metaphoric baloon.

“Oh, we can't play against ourselves I guess” said the former, realizing the defect in his idea, as he reviewed an influential recommendation letter for a player.
