Jacques Kallis and Mark Boucher can now stay back in India and play in IPL and not join some of their team mates for their domestic Twenty20 squad. The irony of the matter is while both of them been bought for thousands of dollars by the Bangalore IPL franchisee, these two veteran stars have not been able to find a place for themselves in their domestic twenty20 tourney.

Wish our Indian selectors too had the guts to take such tough decisions. We will now have to wait and watch whether the loss of domestic spectators in South Africa is the gain of Indian spectators. Both these spunky cricketers are not exactly the flamboyant type , who would light up the stands with their stroke play. Both of them are more workman like and would be vital cogs for the Rahul Dravid led Bangalore franchisee of IPL though.
