Cobbling Together the Dream Indian Eleven
COBBLING TOGETHER THE DREAM INDIAN ELEVEN Whenever the five selectors, often dubbed as the five wise men with the onerous responsibility of cobbling together the best players comprising India’s test cricket team, sit together to pick the team they feel the heat of the country’s collective gaze resting on them. Choosing India’s cricket team is one of the most difficult tasks as the final squad is subjected to intense scrutiny by anybody and everybody. Generally the point veers round to questions such as why batsman A was not picked or bowler B was dropped from the team. That also makes it a very pleasurable hobby for followers of the game who have their own views as to who should make the final 15 or 16 when the team is preparing to leave our shores on an away visit or gearing up to face an opposition on a tour of our country. Arm chair critics apart, sports writers find it an enjoyable professional duty when they sit down to select their own team as newspapers speculate on the composition of the squad pointing out why somebody should be in the team at the expense of another. The reports generally appear on the sports pages on the morning of the team selection. This has been a hobby with this writer for over four decades now and once the team is announced, you are either vindicated or amused. And when the player, who was not in your frame goes on to play a stellar role for the country, you inwardly congratulate the selectors for their foresight and knowledge.

CHAPTER -1 INTRODUCTION THE LOCALE We are living in an over-communicative world. It is dominated by a very fast growing mass communication industry which attempts to influence vast maltitudes of humanity with persuasive messages for a variety of purposes economic, political, social or educational, And society spends enormous funds to influence, change images, beliefs, attitudes, values, intentions, behaviour etc. The persuet of principles of effective INFLUENCE PROCESS that aim at influencing the behaviour of masses has yielded some useful insights into the process of mass communication, which has led to the development of a new field of study called CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR. But this is just a beginning, the advertising industry is increasingly using these insights provided by the new explosion of knowledge. Advertising is one of the four major tools of marketing Communication mix (Promotion mix). Advertising has been defined as "any paid form of non-personal presentation and promotion of ideas or services by an identified sponsor". Advertising involves an analysis of the Communication and decision process that will affect a desired behaviour. Operationally this usually involves using advertising- response measures that intervene between the incidence of the stimuli (advertising) and the ultimate behavioural response (certain purchase decision). Such response measures are 1 called intervening variables and refer to a wide range of mental Constructs such as awareness, interests, brands knowledge, intention, attitude action. Even though the end goal is behavioural the operational objectives guiding decision making will often be specified in terms of one or more of such intervening variables. The determination of which intervening variables provide the best link to the desired behaviour and which can be influenced economically by advertising is, of course, a challenge.
