A cursory analysis of the decisions taken by the BCCI at the end of its two-day meeting demonstrates that little concrete has been achieved. Here's a review:
With a view to strengthening domestic cricket, efforts will be made to ensure that all Test/ODI Cricketers play Irani, Duleep, Challenger and some Ranji Trophy Matches.

If the Board is indeed serious why is it that the Ireland set of three ODI's against Australia aren't being scrapped? Even the most ardent of cricket fans will agree that these matches are of absolutely no purpose.

This world cup, chaotic to start with and a spectator’s trauma all through, just could not avoid the extremity it deserved. It had to end in a farce -- and it did. With every ICC official booed by the crowd at the presentation ceremony, it was apparent that the tournament had been an organizational

In 2003 Australia had won the title convincingly with a 125 run victory over India in the final. In securing their third world cup title, Australia also became the only side to win all their matches in a world cup tournament, a record they have since kept intact. In fact the winning streak has now b

He was one of the best West Indian fast bowlers of his time till a bad back did him for good. 161 Test match wickets at 24 and 118 one day wickets at 26 does sum up the talent Ian Bishop had. A successful and most respected commentator these days, Bishop took time off to speak to me at the breakfast

For each of the 228 times in his 246 match ODI career that Mahela Jayawardene has graced the crease, commentators have admired his talent. Some have even gone on to say that Mahela is as talented as the great Sachin Tendulkar. To his credit, he has given his supporters enough fodder with scores of 3

With Lara, the end had to be extraordinary. Tame may be, but out of the ordinary. He had just hit two fours and the press box was just about warming up for one final Lara show. That’s when Samuels hit the ball to mid-on, Lara takes his the last few fatal steps down the wicket and Pietersen’s under a

Every time Australia plays a heavyweight opponent in the world cup, many here in the Caribbean sit down to watch the game hoping for a miracle. In fact, the common perception is that it is time Australia is beaten. A monopoly is never good; more so in cricket, and can make this already dull world cu

Does that decision still hold?”, asked a journalist at the post match press conference after West Indies had convincingly beaten Bangladesh. Brian Lara, the master, dispatched it
