gattaca Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 3 hours ago, Malcolm Merlyn said: Can you tell me whats good about this decision? Read for yourself. BCCI was given enough chances. Supreme Court was ok to change the recommendation of one state one vote and 3 selectors only rule. BCCI is adamant probably they felt Supreme Court will not do anything. When your are so head strong you need to face consequences. I don't know what is the problem anurag thakur and shirke both are from tier two cities did good at grass root levels. The recommendations help tier two cities more than anything. But instead they choose to fight. First BCCI approaches ICC to ask for legality of the recommendations and that didn't work out then they ask if the recommendations are valid since BCCI is registered as trust. Every one who headed BCCI is power hungry and want to still control their local boards may be because of the way power politics work in BCCI you need your state vote and others without any rebellion against you. http://m.cricbuzz.com/cricket-news/85169/bccis-long-standing-defiance-wilts-under-sc-might GoldenSun 1 Link to comment

The retired judges is a temporary committee. Oh please enough with the talent bs. Name one good fast bowler we produced and how many consecutive away series we won. If BCCI was so serious about producing talent they would fixed these issues. They are just lazy rotund politicians who want power and money.

renjith Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 (edited) Good decision by SC. But its only a start. Hope the temporary committee will make sure the panel recommendations are implemented both at top level and in states as well. Except for a few ones majority of recommendations are good for the game in India. Edited January 2, 2017 by renjith mancalledsting 1 Link to comment

They are just lazy rotund politicians who want power and money. Why retired judges in temporary committee?What is their experience in administration,finance or marketing? How can a committee of retired judges frame the rules on administration of cricket in India?What is their experience and qualification in administration/marketing/finance and cricket? How its sensible for Manipur to have a vote but not Mumbai? How is it sensible that 70years and above can govern the nation but not the BCCI? Why not look at the number of batsman and spinners we have had?How many decent spinners have England or SA produced?How many series wins those Eng and Aus have in India? sandeep, Ironhide and Vilander 3 Link to comment

Retired judges are only that can be trusted obviously no one in BCCI cant be trusted after what thakur and shirke did. So we let Manipur cricket not develop because they don't have a vote that is how BCCI worked they used to ignore tier two and three cities ask how people of Bihar feel they don't have a fricking stadium. Where was BCCI ? right they were busy pulling the rug underneath the guy who opposed Srini. Bjp already has a rule to not have any one above 70 to govern. It is other parties that have to follow. People retire at 58 from government jobs 70 is good enough. Look at bastman and spinner ? India has been producing them for years. The popularity of the sport is churning out these talents. England definelty had produced good spinners underwood, Swann and even Australia had Richie benaud , Shane warne, McGill. How many series wins ? They atleast won one series each and came close to win 2001. Did we win any in Australia or newzealand or England recently ? Link to comment

tweaker Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Anurag Thakur was not only removed as BCCI president by a Supreme Court order on Monday, but he is also facing two showcause notices relating to charges of contempt of court and perjury. The court was severe on Thakur for having "obstructed and impeded" the implementation of the Lodha Committee recommendations approved by the court on July 18, 2016. Link to comment

jalebi_bhai Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Judicial overreach. Corruption and nepotism are rampant in most sporting bodies in India, yet the SC sees it fit to interfere only in the affairs of the BCCI. What about the IOA which was derecognized? When will Lodha-ji bring out his recommendations for the IOA? Ironhide and Vilander 2 Link to comment

sandeep Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 There are no heroes in this story. One state, one vote concept is extremely wrong is a gross misrepresentation of the constituencies of the sport that are actually the ground realities. And enforcing top down diktats on term limits and age limits, is well intentioned but is not going to somehow eliminate the horse trading that goes on in India. If Rabri devi can be chief minister, you think BCCI babus can't figure out a way around the lodha locha? Ironhide and GoldenSun 1 1 Link to comment

CG Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Real corruption is at state level that's why state boards had been delaying implementation of recommendations.If state boards are made transparent our stadium facilities will be world class .
