Indian fans should give a slap in the face of BCCI if they arrange this tri-series(Pak & SL) in place of SA tour

Seriously, BCCI always tries its best to destroy Indian cricket whichever way they can. Its a miracle that Indian cricket has survived and thrived despite the shambolic administration by retards in BCCI.

hmm i think with the asia cup announced , BCCI will not call for a tri series. From what i am reading its the PCB which badly wants a tri series to raise some revenue. They want a 40% split of the proceeds with the remaining going to the BCCI and SL getting the participation fees. What is going to happen in world cricket is apart from England and Aus where people want test cricket in great numbers. Its much more profitable to play India in the ODIs. So you will have a case (which has already happened in sl) whereby sides convert their tests in ODIs v India.

Its bad enough as it is that we are getting a curtailed tour of SA just to accommodate a WI test series out of nowhere. The one series which seemed to have some relevance. Playing against the No.1 side at their home is a big challenge which could have tested our team. But BCCI thought it was more important that Sachin's 200th test should be played at home. :facepalm:

This year India isn't hosting too many series and BCCI wants to make some money. As for your with South Africa, how can they change the itinerary at the last moment ?

I honestly dont mind India playing 2 tests at home v the Windies. I dont know why the BCCI added 3 ODIs with those two tests. So long as we play 3 tests v SA. I wont mind cutting the rest.

Not really a miracle. I bet most people here "declaring Jihad" on BCCI will be the first to watch previews of Ind vs SL game in the tri series.. Of course we'd all like the SA tour better but BCCI know it pretty well, the numbers will turn up whichever team India plays.. so they take us for ride every time.

This has to be a disaster! BCCI thinks they can do anything with the kind of revenue and fan base they command and to a large extent, they're right in thinking so:((

Even CSA would not only want to play test and cut the ODIs as ODIs are more important for them and their associations to fill their coffers.:--D
