I think that anti-corruption policing takes a hit, too, when all decisions are made based on potential financial impact to the Big Three.

India will destroy Cricket as we know it .

Penny wise , Pound foolish !

dat is as certain as the sun comes up in the mawnin

this will smash cricket to bits..and not a minute too late.

full speeeeeeed ahead India!

if only this coincided with a smart and nationalistic west indian period we could make some real hay here, looking to carve out an area of influence in the region..stoking development in canada and the usa and making sure that the ICC breaks up... and that in any reconstitution of an international body that it is democractic fus and that our position is strong on the ground anyway

the americas belon to us and we should go grab it to solidify ourselves in the world.  we shud be focused on making our game strong again to facilitate this.  and when we done we have the bahamas, bermuda, USA, Canada, even the Latins playing the game

that is the real dunciness in the wicb doign so much crap now rather than seeing the full regional potentia as w way of breaking dependence on the ICC and whetever the eff they do.  let them talk about two tier.  if we doing it right we should not need to be bothered by that at all

I always wanted a strong South american League .

with Guyan being the chief supplier of Batting talent .

The time is ripe now to camapign for this !

Suriname is a strong contender as well

Yeah, I really really hope this won't materialize. But the problem is the smaller boards can't resist much. It's pretty much what the major boards decide, especially India. See DRS for eg. - it'd have been universal had India not made a fuss of it.

I still hope it faces fierce opposition and they drop the plan out of shame.

So who's going to 'bell the blackmailing BCCI cat?'  :-\

Seems no one ...... except for SA who have come out openly against this 'I'm taking my bat and ball and going home' stance of bully BCCI  :

WI kissing a$$ under the guise of 'best interest of windies players' !!!!
