What a bunch of wussies.

In the end, politics and monetary greed win the day, under the guise of "friendly relations" and "spirit of the sport".



I'm not surprised at all. Net net, what exactly happend that Indian withdrew the threat? Bucknor getting replaced?? And at what cost? Everybody's now talking about how the BCCI uses financial power to bully. So we got the image hit and an obviously incompetent umpire gets all the sympathy.

These clowns have no legs to stand on, they need crutches to survive. The only reason India got some mileage out of this is because of Peter Roebuck's article about sacking Ponting and Australia's behavior. On their own, the BCCI couldn't have done crap from an image perspective.

Which we clearly don't, and perhaps, should.
If BCCI were to use its financial power, Malcom Speed wouldn't be the Chairman of ICC - Dalmiya or Pawar would be.

Also a blip in the news was that Shaun Pollock announced his retirement and said he will be joining the rebel Indian Premier League.
He's only 34 and probably still has some cricket left in him.

I wish more and more quality players would join the league, thereby bankrupting the ICC some day.

It gets worse (and more humiliating) -

India withdraw Hogg abuse charge
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/7177032.stm

It's possible that some sort of a "deal" has been reached between the two boards.
If that's so, Bhajji may be given a suspended sentence or his convinction might be overruled.

Regardless, we have lost face significantly in this bargain, esp. from a PR perspective.

Harbhajan has no such luck. Aussies are NOT withdrawing their appeal based on this article and as well, India's original insistence to have this resolved prior to the third test is now out the Window.

I'd like to say "What a bizarre turn of events", but knowing how inept these clowns are in the Indian management, its hardly bizarre. Rather I was expecting stuff like this all along, turns out even my low expectations were too high.


Considering the reports on how pissed off monkeys are right now having been compared to Symonds, I'm sure they would launch a vociferous complaint if you call BCCI management the same.
