The ICC

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.

To me, it doesn't matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.
