It is said that if two senior talks then
juniors should not interfere in between
that's the condition of Bangladesh-West Indies
and Sri Lanka-Pakistan series.
Bangladesh-West Indies series is over now
but the question still to be answered is that
what WCB gained by this series?.West Indies team
was of inferior quality,because of grievance between
WCB and WCA most of cricketers were on strike.
The Bangladesh side which have gained nothing except
some unexpected results,humiliated the prestige of West
Indies cricket.Last time West Indies cricketer
Shivnarayan Chanderpaul was not involved in 'Operation
Rebel' against WCB that time he was criticised by colleagues
but this time he was also involved in rebels so West Indies
cricket was more weaker than ever before.That's why
even Bangladesh also got a chance to face photographers
with trophy which they had not expected in their dreams
also.I think West Indies cricket Board is weakest cricket
board of all which do not have control over their
cricketers.ICC should interfere in this matter otherwise
there will not be any meaning of playing this type of
series.So no one is interested in this type of cricket in
which cricket's prestige is going down.
Later comes Pak vs SL series.Pakistan who recently
won ICC T20 world Cup 2009,could not grab attention
of cricket fans.Test series score was 2-0 and ODI
series score is 3-0(results are in order Sri lanka-Pakistan).
Nothing is here which is worth grabbing attention because
most of fans had already anticipated that final result
will be in favour of Sri Lanka.
Ashes series between Australia and England;which before
the start was said to be fighting for it's existence
is in big lime-light.Obvious reason is cricket fans
are fed up with Australia winning every series;they
want to see some matches in which someone challenges
empire of Australia in cricket.And this time they sees
some splendid performance from England side and might be
hoping that England should win the series in order to give
some jerk to Australia.
ICC should think over organising more than two or three
series at the same time because Ashes series has maximum
attention of cricket fans leading Bangladesh-WI and
Sri-Lanka series.ICC just should not think for increasing
it's dollars rather they should make sure that good cricket
is being played in good environment.

Hi Vikas,
As a die-hard cricket fan it was really disturbing to see the developments in Windies cricket, the once 'Kings of World cricket' team has now become a bunch of school kids. But the toothless cricket board of the Windies are at last showing some character by not picking the 'Seniors' back to the side eventhough they stopped the strike.
By the way Vikas, can you just look at your paragraphing in the blog, there is no continuation as a paragraph with a blank under each line.....cheers
Baiju,
The biggest problem is West Indies cricket is not setting a good example for those countries who are conflicting for ICC complete membership.Those countries might think that if conditions in the once dominators WI is not getting improved then what will we do by playing cricket.The worse condition would be ICC expells them from complete membership.
I have rectified the problem of paagraphing.:)
Vikas,
I am with you on the events in West Indies cricket.
Your suggestion that ICC should avoid conducting other series at the same time as Ashes is a good one.
As for Pakistan cricket, it reminds of the tin-pot regimes in Africa.:)
Yeah..Ottayan.At least South Africa was not suffering from conditions as now in Pakistan.Pakistan will have to do something in order to ensure that cricket will be played in better environment on their land.
Everyone knew that cricket in West Indies was not in good health but this is really bad.
Both the board and the players are to be blamed for the mess.
The only silver lining in all this mess is the emergence of Roach.
He seems to be quick and it would be good if he comes up with more good performances.
Wow.....Quite a blog u have here......
Will be reading it from now on...
