Answer:
Rajam and Swami sat in the former’s house, brainstorming a name for their cricket team. This proved an unexpectedly challenging task. Malgudi Cricket Club or MCC sounded like a good fit, but then, there was the question of whether it amounted to infringing on the name of the original MCC. They proceeded to go through a laundry list of other possible names, all of which they were unhappy about to some extent or the other. They decided to take a call only after Mani would join them next evening. Next, they proceed to worry about prospective tax woes. Having one official and one unofficial name is considered as a loophole, but swiftly rejected when they realise that if caught, they might end up paying twice the taxes.
Mani joined the two next evening and yet another essential issue is broached: the acquisition of sporting gear. Rajam and Mani unequivocally want Junior Willard bats, and Swami’s initial cold indifference towards it is met by the rest with dismay, horror and biting sarcasm. Then came the matter of drafting a letter to Messrs Binns to requisition the items. Mani and Swami were utter disasters at the job, so Rajam had to take it up perforce. He wrote an officious-sounding letter with earnest promises of payment on receipt. The letter revealed that the tentative name for the much-vaunted team was to be MCC and/or Victory Union Eleven.
