let's just agree to disagree on the secondary sides.

again I think you are reaching here. What do you mean by not being relegated? about the match fixing issue? all players who were found guilty were banned...for like 10 years! in other words banned for good in this line of sport. and it's not like only South Asian countries have such scandals right? For example the Warne scandal? He only got banned for 'one' year. and pleaaaaaase don't tell me the excuse he gave saying his mum gave him a pill to handle his weight . Guess who was in charge of the ICC at the time of this happened.

so just saying, the HQ is in a place far away from the main cricket boards and the leadership rotates. Only India in the southern asia has some major pull in Cricket incidents cuz basically they have them money to back them up. But overall, no South Asian bias in their actions, at least not more so than when they handle issues of other countries.

No say, Australia's ex prime minister go rejected from heading up the ICC because of Southern Asian nations rejecting with England, NZ, SA all agreeing. Btw Cricket is big business in India they have the big pull. Just remember who bought the southern asian nations there beloved sport, England. They should keep there say but all get an say on the ICC. That is the Big players get an say. 

anyways nice to see an Sri Lankan gamer. How Sri Lankan leader. Mr Dilmah.

i kid i kid 

whatever 0_o

Relegated the way that Zimbabwe was, their cricketing admin was a shambles, Pakistans involvement was as well. If it starts and ends there than fantastic. I really hope it does. 

The Warne Scandal was the same amount of bullshit. Yes 1 year was an absolute horse raddish, dont worry in Australia most fans were just as annoyed as teh ones outside of Australia in regards to this. 

I hope we dont see bias in cricketing admin but the money is too great in India, the fact that Darryl Hair was more or less sacked becasue he called akhtar was it? a chucker... come on. Thats rubbish. Akhtar should have been in just as much negativity as Hair. I dunno I could be wrong.

ooh Darryl hair is a real idiot...you won't find many fans of him from SL sorry. if you have a problem like that, report it, let the officials take a look at it later on, if proven right fine them. We Sri Lankans have had enough nonsense from Aussy umpires regarding 'chucking' allegations already. You won't find me defending them

you can't put the blame on India alone, that's what I'm saying' they do have a big say in things BUT such crappy situations happen across the globe in all cricket nations under all cricket boards. I don't see anyone to be at fault more so than the other. that's the point I was trying to make.

Putting no problem with India, I am just saying there money leads the ICC to roll over and let them control a lot of decisions. The problem is the ICC. 

Yes fair enough he should have shut up but it probably frustrated him that pakistan walked off and not a single fine of their protest over shoaib being called for chucking... really? He shouldnt be talking about mutiah though imo. Whatever I personally think about him. 

Yeah I shouldnt have named India but the money the ICC sees from their is too good to lose for them.

Well I agree about the money part Indian board of cricket are the leaders when it comes to funds and the ICC values that for sure. But I disagree about the tone you mchaza are taking on the matter. Even the ex prime minister situation, only 4 out of 10 cricket nations supported it, even then did SA support it? I know they had some issues with him as well. Either way I don't think this is a conspiracy or anything like that. Like i said, such incidents happen with all cricket nations, like the example I mentioned above, Shane Warne should have been kicked out of the sport and his records removed.

and again imho cricket without hair is better off, I'll leave it at that.

anywho about the match going on now :( Tharanga got out in the most unlucky fashion one can imagine, I feel for him. dilashan tho lol he needs to cool down more if he wanna be a good opener
