Aussie Media Slams BCCI
Monday, December 7, 2009
While India is celebrating their official No1 in test arena , world media has also hailed Indian team for playing positive cricket in last 1.5 years. While aussie medias did published this news , sydney herald also slammed BCCI and allege it to be trying to kill test cricket.
Shocking fact is that India has no test series at home for nearly two years!!!!!!!!!!!!. Australians recently is survey had blamed IPL to be threat to international cricket and BCCI to be bigger threat than ipl!!!!!!!!!!.
Again slamming bcci sydney herald writes "TEST cricket's new No.1 team, India, is not scheduled to play a single long-format game at home for nearly two years.
The outrageous absence of home Tests for such a length of time underscores the problems faced by the traditional format. In a recent survey, only seven per cent of Indian fans considered Test cricket to be their favourite form of the game. That would probably have risen after India became just the third side in rankings history to assume the prized No.1 status, but those fans must now wait until November 2011 to see their team in whites on home soil.
So there is increasing pressure from the BCCI - which sells matches for a handsome profit to television networks - to scrap Tests for more ODIs and Twenty20s. The ICC has not stood up to India for years and clearly isn't about to start by the looks of the Future Tours Program - which has been manipulated from its original plan to accommodate the BCCI's thirst for short-format games."
