Re: India suspends the Ind-Aus tour
Nothing to do with balls, pure politics now. Dalmiya (former BCCI chief) this morning came out and helpfully said that if he were still chief, he would not only have boycotted the series, but also "got the Sydney test annulled" :) So suspending the series is the least Pawar could do.
All this noise and fury from the BCCI is purely for public consumption - wouldnt be surprised if a deal has already been worked out with the ICC, whereby the ban is revoked and Bucknor / Benson stood down. Tour goes on, face saved, everyone happy.
Except for Dalmiya unkil, of course - getting the test annulled - that was a classic.:p Reminds me of childhood cricket days - meri bat, isliye ya to meri baat man nahin to apna bat lekar mein chala.
