How did we miss this? India throws t20 toys out of the cot.

Effectively it's "No, none of the neighbors can share in the t20 bounty, so we'll try to have the SL comp regarded in the same arena as the ICL" Qunts.

Must be no contentious votes coming up at the ICC where India needs help from the Asian bloc.

Or perhaps Australia lining up for Indian access means the BCCI can afford to have a pissed off Sri Lanka.

What an ugly story, really. Terrible state of affairs, the amount in which the BCCI are sticking their dick into everywhere. Awful board.

Truly disgusting behaviour. The BCCI doesn't possess one jot of diplomacy or cosmopolitanism.

They keep carrying on about how they bring in the money and how they should have the most influence because of that. They may just wind up only being able to play themselves. Maybe they should ask their buddies in South Africa how that worked for the 20 years they were isolated.

The thing is, they could well break away and just invite teams over. And everyone would play them on the basis it's a fat cheque...

Maybe. But then again the rebel tours to Jaapan didn't exactly knock the doors down.

Actually our cricket was pretty strong in the isolation days. But no that doesn't make up for missing international cricket.
