I see only one way to redress this appalling situation - and trust me, this would bear result faster than all of Chappell pep talks. Have BCCI announce tomorrow that players' salaries and, more importantly, their product endorsement contracts would be amended to have the payments split into various instalments. Each instalment would be tied to the player's performance in the last five games immediately preceding the payment.
