Number Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Australia asks BCCI to shift Kanpur Test due to inapt international facilities ..... Shame Sydney: Australia has urged the Board of Cricket Control in India (BCCI) to shift a Test match from Kanpur to some other venue during their upcoming tour due to lack of international facilities. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, an inspection team from Cricket Australia (CA) and the Australian CricketerÃÔ Association (ACA) concluded that the amenities at Green Park in Kanpur, which has not hosted a Test since 2009, were inapt. The Test match is expected to be moved to Hyderabad, however, there are few political hindrances to be sorted out before this can happen. ACA chief executive Paul Marsh said neither they nor the CA were interested in playing at Kanpur, and added that the BCCI has been informed but no definitive response has been achieved yet. Marsh added that the change-room facilities are not up to international standard at Kanpur and there are various issues with the outfield and the pitch. Marsh said the main hurdle is that there is a lack of certain facilities that they would expect to be in place for international cricket. Green Park is the only Test venue in India owned by the state government rather than the cricket board, and the Uttar Pradesh Cricket Association is likely to be compensated with another match, probably a one-day fixture, if the Test is moved. It`s understood the pre-tour assessment team was also unhappy with the only five-star hotel in Kanpur. The four-Test series in February and March, Australia`s last Test series before the Ashes, also includes Delhi, Mohali and Chennai. :facepalm: Link to comment
maniac Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 What the hell is BCCI doing with the millions of $ they rake as profits? One thing I like about them is they don't rip off the players in terms of remuneration but their INFRASTRUCTURE planning is seriously :facepalm: worthy and the biggest irony is that the head of BCCI owns one of the biggest CEMENT COMPANIES in India Link to comment
saneindian Posted December 27, 2012 Share Posted December 27, 2012 Didn't the BCCI have a rule in place which said state boards which did not have cricket stadiums of their own will not be allotted international matches. Looks like honourable Shuklaji has pocketed all the grants given by BCCI to each association for building a cricket stadium and used his political power to get a match allocated to an undeserving venue like Kanpur.

ToughCookie Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 What does it mean by not of international standard?? I think they probably want western style toilet seats and not the indian style squat toilet, which btw, is more healthy than the western one. Link to comment

ToughCookie Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 :giggle::giggle: how is it healthy? its tiring There is lots of data about how our indian style is healthier in preventing colon cancer and good for pregnant women. Anyway, dont want to derail the topic, you can do your own research. On topic: By international standards they often mean Western standards. If they want clean urinals that is a fair demand, but to expect western style toilet seats because their bowlers get hamstring injury doing indian style is nothing but pure snobbery. They must perform in indian conditions otherwise stay in australia. Link to comment
IKnowU Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 :giggle::giggle: how is it healthy? its tiring I would like to see one of our own pretty doll cricketers to use the Indian style before we get the aussies :giggle: Link to comment

Magneto Posted December 28, 2012 Share Posted December 28, 2012 Still, I don't see any of our in-house Punjabis going to watch the match even for a day. They'll be busy sitting at home eating 'Chhole Bhature' and whining on ICF :P Link to comment
