India will win 20/20

[apocalypse]

Time to bump this thread!! You may have been right on the money Kabira. Just like 1983 BCCI has awarded the players in the semi finals itself(of course back then it was lot less than 1 million). So keep your fingers crossed gents, Kabira might be onto something here. xxx

what was the reward?

Behold our very own Nostradamus. Kabeera Seth you are our resident Bejaan Daruwaala hereon forward! :D

[Lurker]

what was the reward?

Oh back then in 1983 WC it was a Rs 25,000 bonus for each team members..sounds pretty much a pittance now, does it not Apo?

[apocalypse]

25k was of great value during that time

[kabira]

>so kabira did you danced like sreesanth? its diwali time here...fire crackers in middle of drizzle...I can still hear fire works...

[apocalypse]

yeah I will be in India to celebrate Diwali

[Lurker]

25k was of great value during that time

Yes it was. But compare it to 1 crore that Yuvraj received today!!! 10,000,000/25,000 ~ 400 times that number! And thats within 2 decades or so. Tells you how cricket has taken off in India.

[apocalypse]

yeah and considering the fact also that BCCI is the richest sporting body in this world
