Super Selector, is a game, which gives ordinary talents (like us) a chance to select a team of eleven players (in this case-cricket) which they think will perform the best during a particular match.
After the real time performance, the team of an indivisual is rewarded with points based on the performace of the players he/she had selected in his/her team.
This time i decided to play this game and try my luck (modest) with slight hope to be a "Super" selector.
But, here's a paradox:
Once u lock (freeze :)) your team, which may contain players of opposition team, and start viewing a match, your way of observing a match changes (trust me).
There was a match between India and SouthAfrica, and i had 4 players from each team (mind boggling scenario). Although i am a great follower of cricket and truly love my indian team, but i dont know y i started supporting players from SA. The reason was obvious. I wanted more points. But second half of my mind kept on cursing me, as y was i supporting SA or SA's players.
Now that i managed my team for more than 30 matches during ICC 2011 Cricket World Cup, i have learnt how i can master my mind and be a Super Selector and an Indian Fan all together.

Its amazing to note how our outlook towards cricket and team loyalty change when viewed through the lens of "a game on top of a game".
ReplyDeleteYes, i think the paradox here is "a game on top of a game".
