Ravindra Jadeja for President !

Looking at the selection policies of Indian Selectors lead by Sri-Can't, I am tempted to make this suggestion. We should select and elect Ravindra Jadeja for the post of President of India.

Why ?

Here are the 5 points in support of Jadeja for President ! 

1] Ornamental to the Core: The post of President of India is an ornamental one. But for the great A. P. J. Abdul Kalam, they have been mostly rubber stamps. Shane Warne's Rock Star is of ornamental use to Team India. If any doubts persist, just click on the links and see how Yusuf Pathan, the man dropped for inconsistency fares when it comes to team's needs. Compare that with Ravindra Jadeja who has played mostly self serving Cricket all through !

2] Pathan is too straight: Like his lofted shots, Pathan is too simple and too straight. Only those with the ability to scheme and with right connections get to become President of India. Jadeja at the tender age of 21 showed he can swallow for breakfast, the entire gigantic figure of Yusuf Pathan who just can't scheme to save his life or that of his half brother. 

3] Strike rate vs Average: BCCI Selectors go by Cricket Ratings which give higher points to averages than strike rates. An average of 22 with a strike rate of 103 is inconsistent. An average of 31 with strike rate of 77 runs per 100 balls is what the ODI Team needs; according to our Selectors. Dhoni has consistently underestimated and underutilized Yusuf. Shane Warne's dark-horse unfortunately has become Dhoni's darned ass !

4] Long Rope and Tight Rope: Let me admit Jadeja has better credentials in the bowling department. Has better economy, average and strike rate. But then he has bowled lot more than the poor Yusuf who has often been used in the power plays and then confined to the third man boundary. Players like Jadeja, Nohit Sharma and I shan't Sharma get the long rope while Yusuf always has to do the tight rope walking.

5] Selectors think Pathans are from Afghanistan: The Selectors perhaps think the Pathans are from Afghanistan. How else can we explain a guy like Irfan Pathan not even getting a chance in second string or third string teams when we see rank new comers making merry ? That only means one thing. In spite of very ordinary performances and self-serving Cricket, Jaddu will continue to rule.

He continues to rule without accountability. Is it not the greatest quality required for an Indian Politician ? So His Excellency Ravindrasinh Anirudhsinh Jadeja deserves to serve India as the President ! Period !
