yes i have used a bad word "dala" instead pf power broker becaz he is simply just that. A tv talk show host to vice president BCCI and congess secratary in less than 10yrs . he will always place his politics and self interest before nation let alone the game. its simply him responsible for match being shifted out of historic green park.why doesn't UP cricket association build its own stadium .

why no one dayers are being pplayed at Chennai?!!Its been a really long time.
Shame on UP Govt for losing a match. Politicians and bureaucrats sitting in Lucknow and their ego led to lose this match.
What makes UP Govt to charge Rs 1 Crore for the match and make it most expensive stadium in the world? The conditions put by them before UPCA were horrible.
The real issue is different - Personal issue between Mayawati and Sonia G. Most of the UPCA members like Rajiv Shukla are Congress politicians, and Mayawati Govt are all out to embarass them. Overall UP, which has half a dozen active International cricketers, has again cut a sorry figure in the name of sport by their inability to organize this match.
This incident also puts question mark on teh future of Green Park as International venue. When other state Govts are giving red carpet to International matches, UP Govt is killing this historic statdium.
Its all about money now a days.. UP govt./ Kanpur Admin. want more money (Green) from Cricket Board, while Cricket Board wants Green Park to get more green to its account..!! Now, after shifting ODI to Gwalior, neither will get any Green from Green Park..!!
