So BCCI has finally selected the 15 players who would represent them in the world cup.Read carefully i am using the word BCCI and not India.The differentiation is subtle but very clear.Because the BCCI is not answerable to anybody in this country and is clearly managed by very few individuals the credentials of whom are definetly questionable.Elections to BCCI happen once in every two years are so and it is the state associations who elect the office bearers to the BCCI.And everyone in this game knows who gets elected to the state associations-industrialists and politicians who never have stepped inside a cricket stadium except for watching a match or attending a wedding party that is usually housed in these cricket stadiums during off seasons.
According to me out of the 15 -there are three questionable selections-Sehwag (inspite of his brilliant distant past and his pathetic near term past!),Yuvaraj (who definetly doesnt look fit!) and Anil Kumble (who has now clearly been deciphered by most of the top teams!).That leaves with a top 12 and you are not covered by injury and poor form.And the more riskier part is that all the above three would be selected in the first XI in every match.
My guess for the world cup-India would lose in the quarters or at the max Semis and would come back saying they were tired by playing too much cricket before the big tournament.
