There was modern Indian cricket and then there was an endorsement spree! The 'Men in Blue' flew into Trinidad & Tobago, waiting to beat the living day lights out of the minnows. Not only were the men shamed to a blue but their pride too was tamed like Willy's shew. A fat politician with big glasses and an ugly look on his face promised to take India out of the dumps and put Indian cricket back where it belongs. It hadn't been months since the world cup ended and it began, the search for a firang who will set all desi problems right. The firangs came, ready to be interviewed to take on the challenge of changing the fortunes of a floundering team that believes largely in product endorsements rather than performance. The 'One' appointed by the BCCI shunned his post and shamed the richest board in the world. The BCCI, now lost for options, looked to 'The Man' for the job, Chandu Borde! 72 and still going strong with not a single fit muscle in his body, he took on the job of coaching the Indian team with glee and elan. Will grand dad turn the Indian endorsement trend around and help the team learn cricket?? Only England will tell...
