Dreamzzz, Desires n Desperation...: "Save the white brothers"

"Save the white brothers"

On the day when ICC removed umpire Bucknor from the third test, I wrote it on my blog that it's merely an eye wash and soon BCCI will be celebrating the result and will glorify this move as a victory. And it did happened in the same chronological order. (I am not boasting of my insights I just want to drive the point home that it's so simple to understand these things for even a common man, why the jokers at BCCI fail to read that?) Just look at the happenings after that, West Indian board hit out at ICC. All the biased reporters started bitching BCCI for 'hostage crisis'. Reporters like Dilip Premchandran whose biasness is not hidden from anyone and who feels that he is the only cricket expert left on this earth (rest according to him are a bunch of jokers who watch only one over of the match and write a report). Well, so finally a bunch of jokers at our BCCI handed the power to the ring master in a typical circus like drama and the ring master finally announces that the tour is on. Poor cricketers. Now it all depends on them, if they win from here, the moment will go into history books with all the people shouting shame Australi!, Shame Australia! but if they loose, the attribution will be on their low morale.

About taking cricket as hostage, I don't see it as a problem. India is the cricket superpower and I can't see why people have a problem with that. Nobody questions the integrity of United Nations which has been held hostage time and again by America and just by the virtue of their 'yearly grants' to the organization. If Indian spectators and marketing companies brings in the majority of the cricket revenue, why people have problems if they want to see the justice being done. And no, we are not talking about injustice, we are just talking about a fair trial process.

Anyways, the big issue was sorting out the racist thing. Rasheed Latiff (an Asian) got banned from a test match because of claiming a controversial catch but these white shameless buggers escape without getting the stick and shamelessly keep repeating the authenticity of the catch. Now, if ICC can't do the justice with their strongest member then it's always right for BCCI to form it's own rival organization and mind you Mr. Derek Pringal and all others who are hitting against Indians and Indian board, the problem is not that BCCI is holding cricket as hostage but the bigger problem is that "people like you will loose your job if India start playing against its neighbours only". Nobody read your columns in India and overnight your 'rate per word' will fall to nothing. It's not cricket what is troubling you all. It's actually the money dear. And well, if the jokers at BCCI would understand even a single bit of the game and emotions involved, they would have by now bought out ICC locks, stocks and barrel and would have left Australia playing England only. (We have no problems with the New Zealanders and South Africans dear and for English, I understand why all reporters are playing "save the white brothers" game).
