cricket lost its true essence long time ago when the indians got involved in its affairs. the whole of 90s was blighted by the indian bookies where elite players from around the world were involved in match fixing scandals. now with india officially at the helm of ICC, its all done under the patronage of the governing body. IPL, constant changes in by laws of the game, last minute changes in pitch conditions, broadcasting rights, twisting arms of the member boards by BCCI for their own advantage etc are some of the few examples.
