Strong article in today's Telegraph. Don't often agree with Scyld Berry but he seems to have this pretty much spot on.....

I agree with him too. I think that ICC instead of expanding the sport and preserving the traditions will now be more interested in making money for the big three. I just think this is bad for cricket as a sport, I was kinda hoping for cricket to expand to become what football/soccer has become a world sport in real sense.

i cant see anyway their recent ideas are good for the game of cricket globally just trying to make more money for themselves.
