BCCI has caused so much bitterness that when then finally fall, it will be a resounding one.

Not sure whether the current economic crisis will have any impact on IPL. The shares of DLF (the title sponsor who paid 140 million for it) was Rs. 1200 in Jan 2007 and 700 in April 2007. It is now trading at 190. Most sponsors have got affected. Vijay Mallya of Bangalore Royal Challengers was a billionaire. A report yesterday says that he is now worth only 390 million.

So I was wondering...Would The board of Control for Cricket in India now ask PCB to remove Javed Miandad from his post as Director General of PCB Cricket following his remarks? You never know! They can do anything !!!
BCCI threatened to end all relationships with the Sri Lanka board because Ranatunga said pretty much the same.

The Indian tour of Pakistan scheduled for early next year is 50-50 because of security seasons. Is this Miandad's way of hinting that 'if you cancel the tour, we'll welcome back the ICLers' ? Who knows ? There is so much politics happening these days.
