Money Wins !!

BCCI does it. And Sharad Pawar's statement - This is what BCCI wanted - confirms the monopoly of Indian board in the world of cricket. The racist charges lifted against Bhajji came as no surprise, probably to any Indian. Instead he was reproved and fined for using the abusive terms. Inshort, the level of the charges were reduced. Its good for the future of Cricket, Cricket Australia and Australia. Yes, Ponting was unwise in his decision to complain against an Indian player. He must have thought of the consequences. Every ordinary Indain had a better view of the ramifications if they stamped Bhajji as a racist. Such matters need to be better settled off the field in a more amicable ambience. As some newspaper reported, BCCI - interms of revenue - is in the top 170 in India (if it were a company). How can one expect the most powerful board to sit with hands folded on such issues ? And it didn't !!
