Pay for performance for the Board of Cricket Control for India (BCCI)?
The BCCI's press conference could have passed off for comedy today were it not such a tragedy. Mr. Srinivasan, the boss of India Cements, who is also a Board member held the conference. The gist of his conference was as follows, although the bulk of the conference was him saying "you seeeee"....all comments in the brackets are mine.
1. Cricket is just a game and winning or loosing is part of the game. (Thanks - we never could have guessed.)
2. No- cricketers endorsing brand has got nothing to do with our defeat in the ICC World Cup, but yes, we want them to reduce the number of endorsements still. (Don't ask me by what logic. Srinivasan could have answered this with a minute long "You seee"......plus Srinivasan's India Cements employs Mr. Rahul Dravid- so one assumes that this endorsement would also stand cancelled , of Dravid decides not to keep it in his list of 3 endorsements?)
3. Sweeping changes in pitches, selection, ex-captains consultative committee, domestic cricket to be strengthened - blah blah blah ( ok, the Guiness book of records has just been shattered for some one making announcements without implementing the decision.Congrats Mr. Srinivasan)
4. No groupism found in West Indies. Everything wass hunky dory and players were in good nick (then why did u loose? You seeeeeeee , cricket is JUST a game, stupido)
So the BCCI has come down heavily on the income of players while retaining the right to make obscene sums of money, while displaying no commitment to its OWN performance.
How about 'Pay per Performance' for the BCCI instead and also limit on the max. number of endorsements/ sponsorships for the BCCI, since they are the biggest cause of our failure?
" You seeeeeee........"
