Which team ru talking of? Stopping the ODI series was the right thing when u had those idiots running mad in Mumbai, and as for the Test series its been held as scheduled except for the venue change. And no other teams have expressed of not travelling to India as they do it to Pakistan.

So it don't see BCCI is doing what ever it wishes in the future. People from India will stop them doing whatever they like....

WarWolf your premise that the people of India are fed up of BCCI might be wrong ! BCCI on its part (never before has it done this) in the recent years has been pumping money into Indian cricket.As far as I can see Indian public are happy with BCCI.

Also, you dont have to agree with me but directly or indirectly BCCI has done more good to the Asian boards than harm.

Samit Bal rightly puts it (source cricinfo)It holds good more for the Asian block (including Pak) than the non-Asain blocks.

The cancellation of the Twenty20 Champions League directly affects the finances of many cricket boards, and the IPL has shown the players the kind of instant wealth that would have been beyond their dreams a year ago. Just like the American economy, the Indian cricket economy involves all cricket nations. The global recession spread from the subprime crisis in America. Everyone wants to be spared the chill; the anxiety to keep Indian cricket in good health is born, at least partly, of the natural instinct for self-preservation. It is unpalatable but understandable.

Banning the ICL too is an "instinct for self-preservation" be it the PCB or the BCB.

Indian officials may re-open some old cricket match fixing files that were shut nearly a decade ago, with a view of sending a message to a few of the former Sri Lanka players who were alleged to have been having links with the infamous Indian bookie M. K. Gupta, sources told the “Daily Mirror” yesterday. Indian officials who are reportedly unhappy with the Sri Lankan situation and the cricket relations which are at a very low ebb, have decided to pursue the issue and have been in touch with several former Sri Lankan cricket officials to secure vital documents, sources added.

So, why they did not bring this up before. BCCI obviously knew about it for long time but did not say anything because SLC and BCCI were in good terms. now that SLC have upset BCCI they are digging up an old case from grave.
