Carvalho's Last Loot (5/1/2008)
--K.Arumugam

Amit Kumar. Have you heard of him? Probably no. But he is latest obscure player to get Indian colours. He is presently in Darwin, helping India to lose matches in lesser margin.

While all the world is engaged in Jothikumaran’s images on television and the comics that followed his daylight treachery, and also the supercops best efforts to rescue his trusted lieutenant Jothi, Carvalho made his another day.

Without anybody’s knowledge, he invited Hyderbad based Amit Kumar for the Darwin 4-Nation. We are at loss to understand how this unknown player has all of a sudden a blue-eyed boy and has acquired capabilities to rescue struggling India.

It is interesting to note, Amit was not even in the preparatory camps numerous of which had been held by the Carvalho and his jobless coterie.

Amit, not even a camper, obviously did not play any other age group tournaments also, and in particular not in the Premier Hockey League as well.

Why and how Carvalho and Co. took him, and how KPS Gill allowed this – this is this famed duo’s last dupe of the nation – is not known officially.

However, the practical way of selecting player for the country, as Jothikumaran’s episode proved, is please the people who count. So, Amit would have pleased Carvalho, who in turn -- and he is master at it -- pleased his boss, the now disgraced KPS Gill. We don’t have any clue what is the actual act of pleasing. Certainly it should vary from person to person.

But in any case, Carvalho can be a satisfied coach in India as he could make another successful strike when the iron is hot.

One explanation at this juncture is a must. That pertains to the heading of this story. Is it the last loot? This is what s2h hopes. But we never know what is in store.

Once Carvalho returns from Darwin and start planting stories in the media as to how platonic was his relationsship with new selector messiah Dhanraj Pillay, then the later might meltdown and talk to Subrato Roy (why Subrato Roy we dont't know)and try to get his mentor coach continue. Now that these five new (?) selectors are powerful, they can do anything as any powerful would do. In this case, Carvalho can continue to have his legacy of looting unhindered. Then this site is bound to issue a correction for using the world last loot.
