India to have two cricket teams: Pawar
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->BCCI chief Sharad Pawar said that there will now be two cricket teams for India - India Seniors and India Blue.
While the seniors will, as the name suggests, consist of the more experienced players, India blue will also get a chance at international games.
Pawar has also quashed rumours of an interim coach being named.

It just keeps getting better, isin't it? Two teams - twice the number of cricketers, twice the number of opportunity to fleece the public or collect bribes, haftas and betting proceeds. Just like Pawar wearing two hats - one as cabinet agriculture minister and another as Cricket board head, must be easy since this guy is a natural born two faced person.
What's the possibility of this guy being setting packing to fix the situation with farmers in Vidharba and other places and leave cricket to professionals? Can our PM or the super PM do the right thing here?
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Earlier, there were reports that former India player Sandeep Patil was approached for the top job. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Won't be a bad choice, if memory serves me right, he was the architect of Keyna being in semi final during last world cup. And he's served Oman. Who better to taken on pedestrian bunch and whip them into shape.
And what's up with <b>Woolmer case</b>? Pakistani team has flown back. Chief inspector Sheilds stating the crime won't be solved in 45 minutes a la Karamchand. Zee reporter was on the hotel floor (where Woolmer spent his last night). There were two cameras located near elevator so any movement in-out of elevator during the crucial time window (3 AM (Woolmers last email) to 10 AM?) would have been caught on tape unless the killer(s) lived on the same floor. Brian Lara was in the room opposite Woolmer (not suggesting anything here). Who else lived on the same floor? It was reported that the hotel policy was call-in guests to the lobby when there were visitors unless guests requested them to be sent to the room. And there seems to be no logs or records of any visitor from outside coming to visit Woolmer that morning.
