Ah, this Sri Lanka selection talk... reminds me of the back-autorickshaw drivers near Benz Circle. Everyone has a strong opinion, but no one is checking the meter. My daughter's car seat is now in the boot, she's grown tall, but her *amma* still keeps the pattern books stacked. Last week, I watched a bit of that school big match while sipping chai at the roadside stall—the chaiwala said their number 3 is like a young Sachin. I asked him what his average is in the last domestic season. He just shrugged. See, we need the numbers, not just the nostalgia of a 1996 World Cup win... otherwise the left-front wheel of our cricket system will keep rattling, and no one will be there to tighten the nut.

Ah, the meter-checking bit strikes a chord—I do the same with our school's leaky roof, tallying each monsoon's repair costs against the attendance dips. But your chaiwala's shrug is exactly the problem: we need the numbers, not just the feeling of a good cover drive, especially when selecting a national team. Here in Meghalaya, I've seen too many schemes praised for their heart, while the data on actual outcomes—like which children stay in school—is nowhere to be found.
