One wonders why these illustrious former cricketers conveniently suffer from memory lapses and set aside slights dealt to them by the BCCI mandarins during their playing days, has the incumbent chairman of the selection committee one Mr. Krishnamachari Srikkanth erased the ignominy of being unceremoniously dumped as the captain of the Indian test team despite a honourably drawn series against the then seemingly invincible Pakistani team lead by a certain Imran Khan on Pakistani soil or has Jimmy Paa (Mohinder Amarnath) condescended to set aside the unpleasant memopries associated with the fiasco enacted by the then BCCI president who promised to anoint Jimmy Paa as the Indian captain and then opportunistically forgot his promise and appointed the "Colonel" Dilip Vengsarkar as the Indian test captain instead of Mohinder "Jimmy" Amarnath, one wonders why these noble sons of India do not put sense of dignity and honour before self and stand up for cricketing dignity and respect instead of selling their hearts and souls for a few lakh rupees???????
Come on JIMMY PAA, one certainly expected better from you, have you also erased the bitterness associated with a certain Ravi Shastri being favoured over you despite his averaging a measly 6.40 runs per innings against your seemingly Himalayan average of 16 plus runs per innings during your last series in Indian test colours; you had then resorted to slamming the then Indian selectors as "A PACK OF JOKERS" and announced your immediate retirement from all forms of the game with immediate effect as you were willy nilly aware of the fact that you would never again be picked to represent team India come what may.
Do summon up the courage to call a spade a spade and take up cudgels in favour of long suffering budding Indian cricketers so that they do not have to put up with the whims and fancies of the BCCI mandarins and watch their long cherished dreams of representing team India go up in smoke due to the shenanigans of a few individuals who cannot distinguish between the front end and back end of a cricket bat........
