Hello MS Reviewers,
I am writing after a long period.
And the incidents happened in Australian tour of our beloved indian cricket team provoked me to write something and I have decided to write a review on BCCI and its role in this scenario.
Cricket in India & Australia
Cricket is designated as one of the religion in India and we cricket fans just live within it. We take cricket as one of the essential part of our life and love to watch our loving team winning and we are also ready to digest the lost of our team. But what happend in the Sydney test is irrestible. The indian players are playing with the spirit and struggling for their win with all their natural efforts. But the so called World Champion Australia team want the Sydney test win with any hook or crook just for another record of winning consecutive test wins. And when they realized that indian players are playing their best game and this time their win is not so easy against India, like always they started work on their pre-planned strategy of teasing Indian players. But also this time they have taken some special measures of including all the decision making bodies into their side through some(unknown) ways. And what happened in the last test is watched by all the cricket fans.
All the controversies happened last week during and after the test match will be noted as black part of cricket in the cricket history. The cricket is known as’The Game of Gentlemen’ and players use to show great patience and play with their high spirits but here the world champion team does not have any kind of sportsman spirit. They are plaving so easily and seems never worried about the match that they are known to the result of the match.
Indian Cricket Team to continue Australia tour:*
BCCI being the richest cricket board in the cricket world due to the big names or stars in the Indian cricket team and he board has its own significance in cricket world. BCCI has put Indian cricket team to resume their suspended tour of Australia but will continue to protest a ban on Harbhajan Singh for racial abuse during the second Test and laid the condition that he should eventually be cleared of the charge and 3 match ban issued by ICC dropped. BCCI came out strongly on the proceedings against Harbhajan, describing the charges as obnoxious & baseless and the ban as patently illegal, insisting the ICC to deal with the appeal expeditiously.
The board held a meeting after the removal of umpire Steve Bucknor from the third Test in Perth and appointment of chief match referee Ranjan Madugalle as a mediator to solve issue between the two teams. The working committee of BCCI decided that the Indian cricket team tour to Australia should continue after ICC has clarified that Harbhajan Singh could play till the final disposal of the appeal. BCCI is of the categorical view that the matter should be resolved finally and the unfair allegation against an Harbhajan Singh be set aside or withdrawn.
The indian cicket team tour looked in serious trouble after India lost the Sydney Test mainly due to the umpiring errors, and were incensed by the charges laid against Harbhajan. Indian skipper Anil Kumble also accused the Australian players of lacking a sporting approach and the squad then refused to proceed to Canberra for the next tour game until Harbhajan was cleared of the charges.
Role of Australian Media
Australian media is not happy with the decision of ICC and continue to publish against ICC and BCCI telling that ICC is working under the influence of BCCI. According to the media the financially powerful Board of Control for Cricket in India succeeded in having the controversial umpire Steve Bucknor stood down for the Perth Test.
My Request to BCCI:
It is my humble request to BCCI to stop the current tour of India cricket team if any such kind of incident happened again during any of the matches. And also think a lot before planning any more tours to Australia.
