We have come to know from confident sources that India getting kicked at the hands of England in recent test series is because BCCI has decided that test cricket has outlived its utility and is not enough revenue generating machine. Since India has been playing too many test matches leaving less time for IPL, besides that it has been BCCI's concern to keep players fit for IPL.
In a secret ploy, BCCI chairman Shashank Manohar thought of a master plan which can be used to get rid of test matches completely. If fans lose interest in test cricket, there will be no need to play test matches anymore, after all games are for fans, right?
Why do we see test cricket honestly? Well, we did a survey and this is what Rajesh from Delhi said "I don't know man, I just see that India is at rank one and that's what I love". He had no real reason besides that. Same things goes for a major population in India.
When BCCI got to know this fact that Indians just watch test match as India are number 1, they came up with a master plan. They decided that India need to not only lose number 1 ranking, they also need to have their worst defeat ever, so that cricket fans forget Test cricket. That is why BCCI chairman Shashan Manohar invited Dhoni and other senior players to his room and explained why test cricket should be abolished. Later he also conveyed his master plan to the players.
A senior player on the condition of anonymity said to us "Well, first we said WTF? Test cricket is what real cricket is man, later we were convinced that it is bullshit. Can you believe we still push ourselves 5 days when we can earn more money by hitting 15runs in 6 balls in IPL ?"
Even after that, few players didn't agree to this. They were given option to either do what they are told to do, or get out of team. That was the time when Zaheer Khan had to leave for India (Yes, he is not at all injured).
On conveying this thing to Neeraj from Ahmdadabad, he agreed and said " Yes, that is correct. How else can you explain India not dominating a single session? How else can you explain the best batting side in the world collapsing like cards all the time. And most importantly how else can you explain including RP Singh in the team?" According to our sources we have learned that Munaf Patel was kept out of team as he refused to ball 3 lose balls each over. RP Singh had no issues with that and picked up in team.
Indian fans who have been very religious supporters of test matches, have started to lose faith. Many fans just watched to see Sachin score 100th 100, yet they have received nothing. This has caused fans frustration and at the same times many fans have decided to quit watching test matches altogether.
BCCI's plan was almost working but as now that this issue has come up in public, it is yet to see what is going to be response. Meanwhile we have heard that, Thousands of people have gathered outside BCCI office in support of Anna Hazare, who has called this an absolute extreme of corruption. While some people are relieved that Indian team is not really bad, they just did this on purpose. The wider implications of these events are still to be seen. Time will tell if BCCI get what they want.
(Good if you can manage few smiles reading this but off course, none of the above is true, we have really played abysmally In England :( )
