Neil Manthorp taking it to Malcolm Conn on Twitter re: this issue. Loving it.
its funny isnt it these clown aussie media ppl are still trying to sell australia as being heroes. not to mention the so called aussie analysts on tv failed to mention this proposal even once just shows how poor sports journalism is in this country. compare that with guys like hussain and atherton :thumbsup:

Getting pretty worried about Sri Lanka now, while I'm proud of the board for their stance it worries me now that the revamp will probably get the votes

I agree but at least we can say we did the RIGHT thing. India always wanted to be rid of Pak and SL so that they can be the dominant team in Asia...

Well tbf posting on cricinfo is certainly misguided in itself. ..........especially if you are challenging anything Indian.

PCB and SLCB are the two last boards who I would get behind for their underdog appeal both are corrupt and incompetent to the core. The fact they struggle to show profits despite cricket being the # 1 sports in their country speaks of their capability.BCCI never had any intention of getting rid of Pak and SL their only intention since achieving their financial clout is to bully the other 9 full members and look after their own interests it does not matter who stands in their way they would try to flatten anyone in their path.

you're absoultely right about teh corruptness of our board but is that any different than any board in Asia and possibly the RoW? The fact is foronce, we have done the right thing as we could easily have taken the numerous $$$ that were no doubt offered as a sweetener(as our previous boards have done) but i maintain we still did the right thing...

@adders- you're absolutely right mate..that's why i came to this forum to avoid nutters and i am SO glad i can have a rational cricket based conversation again with people who know the diff between a debate and an argument..

aussie, indian democracy at its best right here

"BCCI, CA and ECB - will be represented on both sub-committees, along with two representatives of the other Full Members (who will be elected by the Board)."

so basically the scum will select the other 2 members as well :laugh:

Well, for once I am proud of the PCB that it took a stand......and I was thinking that CSA would be the last man standing

I'm presuming that Kevin Pietersen spoke up against the changes in some informal team meeting. Only thing that explains his sacking.
