Long term solution
by Abhay T on Jan 09, 2008 05:24 AM

Honestly speaking all solutions are short term. Do you remember what happened in the past incidents? ICC did not recognise the match when Indian team played their banned players. PCB is far wiser than BCCI. Hair is nowhere seen near cricket grounds any more and ICC accepted that Pakistan did not tamper with the ball. BCCI as usual will compromise in the end. Believe it or not!

They think 'bas---', 'f---' are all acceptable words because they are not racist words, whereas Indian will accept themselves being called 'brown', 'monkey'. But they will never accept being called 'bas----' or other 'f---' words. ICC's anti-racial policy is against asians only because ICC is run by racist non-asian people who have nothing to do with cricket and do not recognise other cultures.

What's wrong if India starts controlling cricket? After all India is pouring so much of Money cricket into cricket, but the end result is they are the worst affected because of poor umpiring, biased referees, cheating and racism. The real long term solution is to either take control of ICC or run a parallel ICC controlled by BCCI. Float the new body in Indian stock market and let professionals (not politicians) control the game. The players will switch where money flows! IPL is a good start. But BCCI can extend this to all forms of cricket and start their affiliated boards in other countries. It is perfectly possible to break ICC's monopoly. I think that is the only long term solution to this issue.
