Mr Sima, if you had been following the present controversy you would have known that the board has not made payments to the players for quite some months because of the contracts problem. The board officials had explained the reason for the non-payment. The new contracts will, I feel, will come into effect with retrospective effect. Moreover, this is not the first time the players are getting paid late.I am not justifying the Board''s action, I am only setting the record straight.
Yes, I don''t also trust the Board with a whole lot of things, but the players have also benefited enormously with board''s benevolence over the years. Don''t forget the players are also as clever as we are and they know which side of the bread is buttered just as the Board officials know how to time their actions as Mr Srivatsa stated.
I liked the column only because I was made aware how the board and players play their cards.
As for the balanced view, please read Sundar''s message.

Mr RamaKrishna,
I would have respected it if u had used some logic of ur own & not of the writer.
Because, 1stly my name should have suggested that the Prefix should be Ms/Mrs and not Mr.
2ndly, I never saw any justification from the Board about the non payment. & even if as per ur statement, contracts issue was a problem in payment, then they should have got it signed first.Think this is a credit shop?
Agreed this is not the 1st time the players are getting paid late, but then that does not justify doing it again. Especially when the Board officials like Mr. Shah & Modi are going around the world finding faults with everybody other than themselves.
As per the Players benefits,Mr. RamaKrishna, u should know that their career is small - min 1 day to max 10-15 yrs. So if they make sure their after life is good, then nothing is wrong there. Dont tell me u have never bargained in ur life bcause u dont want the buttered side for urself.
U know what I mean. Stop looking from others point of view. Understand everyone''s point of view and then stand where its more stable.
Lol sunder will feel Dawood Ibrahim is a hero doesnt mean I will believe it too. Hope u got the msg.

Hey good points raised Sima.
But problem is with WC performance nobody is looking at logic... eveybody is out to belittle players as much as they can and board is taking advantage of this.
By your logic and common sense they are doing it to maximize their profit. But What is the use of being richest board of money is put in Bank ?????
The money should be used to up the level of cricket in India.... they are ready to pay huge amount to non -performers like Chappell or to foot the bills for their long and boring political meetings but not to Players who actually goes out and play (whether Domestic or International).
People pays money and come to watch Sachin , Sehwag , Dravid , Dhoni perform and not to see how Mr. Modi or Mr. Shah sells cricket to highest bidder. you take out above players who will come t watch cricket on TV let alone stadium ?
So BCCI should also consider all pros and cons otherwise it will go the IHF way and sooner than later they will not be in position to negotiate.
