World cricket heading for a Asia-West split?

[nikhil_99]

NEW DELHI: World cricket is facing a crisis because of issues ranging from terror attacks in Pakistan to the rebel ICL tournament, causing major concern among top players of a split along racial lines - though nobody's mentioning the R-word - and the end of the game as we know it.

Voices in the West muttering darkly about BCCI's "muscle flexing" during the ugly row in the India-Australia series Down Under which saw umpires being changed and a ban on Harbhajan Singh being revoked had provided early signals of fault lines developing, but a split was something nobody was willing to speculate about in public.

You know, an Asia vs. ROW series would be very interesting to watch considering the current situation. A lot of passion I'd presume...

 

[KBC]

Asia and western, would that do it? what about australia? N&S America, Antarctica..

 

[SciD]

Its BCCI vs others. Nothing else

 

[evertonfan]

Yeah. I've got nothing against Asia but the BCCI are utter pillocks.

 

[Cricketman]

Barely anyone in India likes the BCCI either. I doubt they like themselves!

 

[metallics2006]

I second that. Seriously, how can a private body be in charge of a game that makes billions in the country?

 

[SciD]

Its good that its Private body. If govt, had hand in it then India would have had worse side then Zims.
