no it's neither a bird nor a plane. it's a bat!!

The cricketers are no longer a desperate lot so far as survival is concerned. If you noticed the Australian team had an entirely different team playing the T-20. Indian team had a few faces which are playing all forms of the game. All BCCI needs to do is to select different teams for different formats- test, ODIs and T-20 teams and each team could have a different captain. But greed will rule and you will have exhausted and jaded players greedily following the scent of lucre and the performance will suffer.

Wow i must say quite an inteligent discussion you started. You gave the answer in your question, in cricket they do not play they just befool the common masses and we are intelligent fools who waste their precious time and hard earned money on them.
