Who's the Daddy!! - Board or Players

Before starting this post i didnt find any other title and this thought come to my mind reminding me the hollywood movies in which this dialogue is repeated frequently. Yes, who is the Daddy in indian cricket? BCCI or Star Players?

The new players contract revel it all,till Sptember'06 (old contract) the retainer amount was Rs 50 lakh, 35 lakh and 20 lakh for players in Grades A, B and C, respectively other than Players match fees. Current contract say " the players will only be given a signing amount of Rs.5 lakh besides Rs.10 lakh per annum as retainership". Match fees is also cut down to 1.5 lakh and Rs.2.5 lakh for ODI and Test respectively, but they did introducted the bonuses depending on their match and series wins.

Sounds like a demotion? they have tried to cut down the income of players by limiting personal endrosement with corporates at three, where current players have endrosement with more that that limit and some even crosses 10 mark.

All this becuae of cricket teams poor show at cricket world cup 2007 and the above move is forced by the accountaility of cricket players. But how much accontability our cricket board holds for Cricket world cup poor show? they still earning Rs.Rs.4,300,520,583 (43 hundred crores approx.) and this will increase in future.

There Cricket Board shown them that they are the Daddy of this show!! and Players will again start crying in front of Cricket Board for more match fees and endrosement deals. In the past also Players tried to take a upper hand by forming a players associaton but I have not heard about them from quite a long time ....anyway I used to do for pocket money and expect them to take some steps like that ...ha ha ha......
