Perhaps, Sharad Powar will serve as the last nail in the coffin of Indian Cricket and will bury it for once and all completely destroying its prospects.
It is bad enough that a politician runs BCCI. And, it is much worse when it is someone like Powar. Being a n extremely wily, sly and shrewd politician, Powar might be quite difficult to remove even when his "political" decisions are found harming Indian Cricket.
Wins and loses are part of the game. . . Sure. But, Haven't we noticed that. . .
- India was knocked out in the first round that it played in ICC championships at home and now, it is also knocked out in the first round in this world cup?
- India is ranked 6th (now, likely to fall to 8th because of its world cup debacle) because of losing more matches than those ranked higher than it?
- India has lost ODI series in South Africa, West Indies, Malaysia? That only ODI series that it has recently won outside India was. . . in Pakistan?
All this while Indian Cricket Board makes more money than all other cricket boards combined. Where have you been, Mr. Powar???
What have you done for improving the state of cricket (the #1 sports in India) in India... the sports which is making so much money for the Board, the sports which is so closely connected to people's national pride and passion?
Are you really deaf or are you just a greedy, power-hungry politician who is totally oblivious to the reality and of people's sentiments!
