The BCCI dictate world cricket, and some on Twitter are saying they even used their financial muscle to ensure a turning pitch in Dubai. I don’t know how true that is but it was turning a lot today when in previous games not as much. I don’t have anything against India winning, but it just takes everything away from achieving victory through sporting merit. That’s the sad part.
And whilst cricket may be striving in India, in other countries, due to a lack of financial fair play from the BCCI and ICC, the game just isn’t played on an even field, there is a distinct lack of quality coming through and a shocking lack of competitiveness across international teams.
