If I remember right, it was also the west indies team. And India went on to lose the match. So much for niceties!kattrickerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13549986334681016368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218780.post-1150036177016214732006-06-11T19:59:00.000+05:302006-06-11T19:59:00.000+05:30Yep - But I wonder why he was so reluctant to oppo...Yep - But I wonder why he was so reluctant to oppose the fine imposed on Sehwag!<BR/><BR/>I think his leadership sucks. The first thing you do as a leader is back your people - particularly when they're right!<BR/><BR/>Totally agree about the ICC though. But the Sharad Pawar-led BCCI is more concerned about having its way on everything except player rights.Gopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13862725206722657566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218780.post-1149867624489171232006-06-09T21:10:00.000+05:302006-06-09T21:10:00.000+05:30Couldn't agree more.

I think Rahul tried to exonerate Lara to show him that cricket can still be played with spirit.<BR/><BR/>Frankly, when I think of the whole incident<BR/><BR/>1. Lara goes down in my list of people I like<BR/>2. Rahul goes down in my list of people I like as leaders<BR/>3. The ICC, I no longer respect as an organization that stands free and fair. Well, I never did. India is one of the largest contributer to ICC, its time we taught ICC what fairness is all about.<BR/><BR/>Thank god the soccer season is here.Balbirhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17752733091129859385noreply@blogger.com
