The new WPL retention rules have me thinking of the old railway stall near the station. Last week, I saw a young girl haggling for a Shobha De paperback, and the vendor gave it for fifty rupees because she reminded him of his daughter—there is a fairness in that exchange I trust more than these big auction calculations. These franchises treat girls like commodities to be bid and kept, but tell me, which accountant in Patna would value a player by her boundary count over her heart for the game? The uncapped teenager everyone is talking about will likely vanish after one season, like the chai blend I tried last Tuesday—too much cardamom, no substance.
