There was nothing wrong when Jimmy Amarnath called the selectors a bunch of jokers some years back. The same legacy continues even today when Dilip Vengsarkar dropped Dravid. The decision was unanimous and it went against Dravid as his form was very poor over the last few matches .If form was the criteria Vengsarkar should come out in the open and say so. Instead he went beating around the bush by saying that he is being rested. Colonel who are we fooling ? The cricket fans in India are very intelligent and they know what is going around.
What is even more surprising and upsetting is that he has been just dropped for 2 matches. One really cannot make out what signals are being sent. To be frank it is very vague and ambiguous.
One can broadly conclude if you rub the wrong side with either the selector, coach or the board official you are made the scape boat and sidelined. We had Ganguly who had tough times with Greg Chappell and was given a horrid time by the board and now the turn is of Dravid. Can board give an answer to the cricketing fraternity and fans as to why they dropped Jammy ? Well they are all spineless who are just interested in the commercial and profitability aspect of the board. Human values is just missing.
Will ICL spring some thing surprising to teach these people ? Lets wait and watch.
