Ashwin’s interview with a selector

by Gaurav Sethi

Selector: Congrats on the Golden Ball, but can you bat?

Ashwin: Yes I can bat, I have two first class hundreds…

Selector: That’s first class cricket, everyone has runs in first class cricket, how have you fared in internationals…

Ashwin: I’ve played one one-dayer, made 38…

Selector: Only one one dayer, that’s not much to go by…you know we’re looking for a bowling allrounder…like Bhajji…and Bhajji is already in the team

Ashiwn: OK

Selector: So please talk to me when you have played more internationals and we will consider you for selection then…

Ashwin: How will I do that?

Selector: On the sheer weight of your performances, you will come knocking on our door..

Ashwin: I’m first a bowler

Selector: That’s what, everyone is a bowler these days…you have to work on your batting…look at Piyush Chawla…he top scored today against Australia…an international side…you speak with him and yeah, Bhajji…you know Bhajji has worked on his batting at the cost of his bowling…he is that selfless a player…when you improve your batting, ok, understand…

(Phone rings)

Selector nods away as he speaks to his colleague

Selector (continues speaking to Ashwin): Areh, why didn’t you tell me, you have taken 13 wickets in internationals in T20 Champions League…you have very good international experience…and your IPL numbers are good too…very good…you will be in the team very soon..but don’t forget your batting, ok beta, thanks for coming beta..

Impossible! The chairman of selectors would be the first to know of Ashwin's exploits in CLT20!!

Hoping Bhajji gets injured in the coming days. But if he doesnt get Ricky s wicket then we ll know he s really lost it.
