"Holding back DRS and promoting T20" => This is actually my comment. I didn't mean to say that you said this, but the way i typed it was wrong. So agree with you on this one. DRS is the problem area.

Corruption in all formats & seeds are sown within their culture => IMO This statement is a pretty wide accusation. I hope you are referring to the culture of the people who run the BCCI organization and not the whole country.

The way i see it, BCCI is run either by political big wigs or some big corporate or industrial guy. The organization is not run by former players.

You have answered your own question here... The corporate/industrial are making cricket into a "cash cow" for themselves.

As for corruption? its hardly a "wide accusation" that I make because within many sports in India, "corruption" in different forms is widespread.. whether it cricket, weightlifting, athletics etc its well documented.
I appreciate that other countries have a similar problem but we have only been talking about India and hence my point about corruption in the Indian society. Its definitely an eye opener and well worth  "googling"

money talks, merit walks. India will be the power house for years to come and will hold all the aces. The rest are simply playing catch up and will be going on a steady decline. I don't like that money rules everything BUT that's the society 'we' have deemed to desire so we have to accept it. FOrmats are almost irrelevant, the world will play whatever format generates the most money (probably 2020 now), the rest will again, die off as the years go by (or change beyond our recognition)

Interesting comments... They used to say something similar about Apartheid, in that South Africa were going to do things their way and "stuff" the rest of the cricketing world.

For me, why not exclude India from International cricket. Pretty sure with the emergence of other nations that cricket WOULD survive. For example BBL in Australia hasn't seen the need to pay the "ridiculous" wages of the IPL.. and look how well that tournament is doing.
I also believe that public pressure in India would change the BCCI's opinion if they were missing from international cricket for 2/3 years..

I know the way of the world (majority) is to be money orientated  BUT it doesn't have to be...

Don't need to ban India from international cricket just get the boards to stop their players from going to IPL and pressure will mount

Boards still need to issue NOC from what I remember

+1 .. i am with you on the no-ball rule ...

Then id think you'll have spinners abusing this ruling, the reason its anything behind in perspective of being parallel to the line itself is so spinning can bowl off thier toes with heels inthe air, there will soon be technology just like goal line tech in football to tell umpires about every no ball, i think everyone will be surprised with how much they miss just due to the pace the game has increased by

Money will always talk louder than morals or 'the right thing to do'. Has done for longer than you or I have been around or will be around. South Africa were/are a pretty insignificant player in world cricket, India (now) are the biggest there is revenue wise so no one will be telling them anything.

how will spinners abuse it??

Are you over the line when the ball is bowled 'yes'.. no ball. Don't care if it's 'in the air' or not.. over the line is over the line. jesus, it's not rocket science.

Seems i misinterpreted the initial point, of it touching the line. [emoji21]

Be a nightmare for umpires if it was can't touch the line, no way can you see that accurately from the umpires position. Back foot law would be easiest all round.

India are/can only be the leading country if they continue to play international cricket. So ban them.. lol. Also, whilst you are correct about money "talking louder" then morals, there are times when money doesn't/hasnt got what it wants 

Anyhow, I still think india will be using DRS within 2 years...

I can't think of a time when money hasn't got what it wants   (illegal activity excluded though as that's different)

Can't say I am a fan of Australia's bowling attack at the moment. Granted these wickets are (No Swearing Please) for bowling but still think we could have a better line up.

Oh and hopefully Dhoni feels a little bit better about no DRS and the 50/50 calls after that massive edge gets given not out!

Back to back centuries for Rohit Sharma .. Wondering where was this form when India played WC 2015 ...

Flat wicket! Still 30-40 short. Aussies will knock this off easily again

[joeljonno]

Will if they keep dropping sitters.

Deserved a wicket.

I assume India scored 300+ again??  Prediction:  Aus to fail completely or Aus to win as that's how white ball goes. Boring
