And this how they shall flee West Indies. Practice makes a man perfect and they are just sticking to this adage. There are reports that the Indian cricket team is also carrying 6 such ‘powered boats’ for the world cup in WI so that they can easily escape, via the sea, without attracting too much attention.

The permutation and combination of occupants is currently being hotly debated in team meetings;

1. Dravid and Chappel cannot be on the same boat

2.Ganguly and Chappel should be at least 3 boats apart

3.Sachin prefers company of the old so no new chaps on his boat

4. Sreesanth’s boat might only accommodate 2 because he needs space to dance

5. Sehwag and Uthappa cannot be together because of Sehwag’s jealousy.

Other conditions include

1. Chappel needs a driver for his boat or a system so that he can drive using his laptop. The BCCI seems to have preferred the former because the technology has to come from China and there are reports that the Chinese are planning to get into cricket.

2. The team will come to Andaman and Nicobar Islands and stay there will the dust settles down. TV sets have been removed, no internet connection and no newspaper. The team won’t even know who wins the world cup. This is on the request of psychologist of the team.
