Re: Bhajji's ban lifted
a truly sad day in my view. a guilty indian walking free because BCCI strong armed the ICC.
I agree it is a sad day for the game. But not because Bhajji walked free - I think that was going to happen anyway, because of the lack of evidence - Proctor's decision was based on pure hearsay, and there was no way it was going to stand up to any legal scrutiny. What is shameful is BCCI's extortionist handling of the situation, and the way CA and the ICC capitulated so easily. This kind of "I'm gonna take my bat and ball and go home" brinkmanship being so successful sets a very very bad precedent for the game. BCCI needs to stop behaving like a spoilt child and learn to handle its power more responsibly.
