Our spinners are not just those who win cricket matches for India. The best of them toil and spin in the cause of converting black into white. Had these excellent men and women focused on the Tokyo Olympics, for example, our athletes would have returned with 100 medals, all of them gold. They would have run the 200 metres in five seconds or thrown the discus over 200 metres. Well, maybe not actually run or thrown. But that’s what our record books would have shown thanks to the spin, and we would have to accept that. You can’t argue with statistics (or statisticians), you know.
