I did not make it into the cricket team today. It's very disappointing. All my hard work has gone in vain. I always knew that I was one of the best bowlers in my locality. All through my school life I had always been in the team. But now, due to some politics they haven't included me in the team. Just because the minister's son requires to be in the team.\r\n
\r\n
For all of you who don't know, our local minister funds our cricket team. This year his son suddenly decided to join the team. We have place for four bowlers. The other three are good experienced bowlers who have been playing for the team for years now. I always knew I would make it to the team one day. I had held all my hopes high, but that lousy minister's son had to show up!\r\n
\r\n
First of all he is clumsy and does not know how to bowl for nuts. Today during net practice I got so many experienced batsmen out and my coach praised me so much. I though I'd surely make it to the starting eleven. But the minister suddenly showed up for the selection process.\r\n
\r\n
My coach took me aside and told me that if he did not include the minister's son into the team they would not get the necessary funds. I was heart broken. It was me who stood in between the teams progress. I couldn't think of what to say.\r\n

Today I went to check the list of players who made it to the starting eleven. My name wasn't there..
