Test cricket - the dream job

Test cricket is the most ideal government job that exists in this world. Just imagine routine of test cricketers:

  1. 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

  2. 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!


  3. 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

  4. 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.
  5. 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!
