Test cricket is the most ideal government job that exists in
this world. Just imagine routine of test cricketers:
- 9-5 routine: The day starts at 9 am and you leave the field
at 5 pm irrespective of whether the allotted quota of 90 overs is complete or
not
- Chai time: You get a lunch break for 45 mins and then an
effing tea break. Which sport in this world can even conjure up the idea of a
TEA break!
- Peon (I mean 12th man): There is a 12th
man in every team whose only job is to carry drinks for the playing team and
substitute them when they are tired
- 5 day week, err test: A test match lasts for 5 days, yes 5
full days. And a lot of times the cricketers cannot even finish off a match in
5 days. Rings a bell?
PS: There even existed a rest day bang in the middle of a test match up until 2001. - Get paid for sitting on a chair: When your team is batting
but you aren’t, all you do is sit on a chair and watch others play and still
get paid for it!
It is the most glamorous government job one could imagine. If only getting in was easier!
