I sincerely thought there will not be a political interence or politics being in the Cricket Boards of Australia,NZ,England.These boards are getting spoiled by the influence of Indian Politricks League(IPL) . In India it is very much common to see the politics in every segment as well as all Games and their administration.It is sad to see the Politics being the dominant factors in Kiwi Cricket Nest.
Could have been the best fast bowler of modern times....great line and length, speed of 150 plus, swing both ways, and reverse swing with those yorkers and bouncers...career marred with injuries and politics. Just as Marat Safin in Tennis, or Ronaldo (Brazil) in soccer...
Shane bond was the best bowler New Zealand ever produced after Richard Hadlee. But a totally unlucky guy. He was a genuine fast bowler with a clean action and great compassion. But he was never hailed as a great bowler. His best performances were against mighty aussies. Truly a class player
Banning of ICL players was a sad development. This move didn;t benefit world cricket at large. all it could serve was the limited purpose of massaging the inflated egos of BCCI bosses. If a country doesn't have a problem with the participation of its player then why should BCCI be concerned. all the worries of BCCI should be regarding Indian players only and that too limited upto if indian players are giving their best at international or domestic matches as the case may be and after that what players do should not be any bodies concern.
You can come to India, U will easly get the job of commentretor, Bowling coach, Reality Shows participation, Modeling etc etc so dont worry, You can populor in India like Breat Lee & at the same time you can play for any team in IPL seasons. Dont forget to take tips from Modi & Kalmadi about politics in game.
