Disastrous defeats on the home turf against Pakistan and England have been hard to bear. Particularly since they came after the humiliation we had in England and Australia last year. Where do we turn ?
Commentators have been quick to call for several half measures. Sacking of Dhoni, Sehwag, replacing this person with that etc., quick fixes that, they hope will bring some improvement in performance.
Amidst all this, the BCCI has maintained an unusual calm, pretending that nothing serious has happened. Like the Bourbons, BCCI seem to have learnt nothing and forgotten nothing. As one foreign player remarked,they seem to be obsessed with cash more than with cricket. After all the next IPL season is not far away. That is where cash is and they must get ready for the big carnival.
