WELCOME TO THE BICCI

 

Yes, the board will want a round of applause for chucking some money in the kick for Test cricket, even though it’s a paltry ‘$5-10 million’ in a game that now routinely trades in billions.  But we have questions, so many questions.  What now for cricket in the US, so expensively opened up?  What now for cricket in Pakistan, given Shah’s filial bond with the BJP, and that his successor at BCCI looks to be….you’ll love this…..another BJP politician’s son?  What now for ICC staff, given the Indian culture of treating executives as Voltaire said the British treated admirals?  That’ll help get the best people, eh?

 

Cricket Australia and the England Cricket Board don’t care about these questions.  They just want to watch big three cricket from their hospitality suites, and the rest of the world can suit itself.  International cricket, meanwhile, is in its Ayn Rand’s funeral stage, coffin surmounted by a dollar sign.  The game’s task henceforward will be to make the world safe for Indian capital, and the ICC’s to act as a brand extension of one of the world’s creepier personality cults.  Fit for purpose?  You betcha.
