6.2': Bullet, Single Tea and Butter Biscuit

India has been kicked out of the world cup, Dravid has said India doesn’t deserve to progress to the next stage. Everyone is discussing how to improve Indian cricket. They suggest changes to make the team better. They are wasting their time. I will stick my neck out and say that India will never produce a good team. Its too much effort.

So now I have an alternative to this. India contributes to roughly 75% of ICC’s revenues. Without India there is no cricket. So I suggest the BCCI makes a deal with ICC. The deal should stipulate that India will progress till the semis of every major ICC event, and win every alternative ICC event. The ICC is responsible for making the other teams comply and lose. During the events India wins, the BCCI can always play the players of other teams playing to help India win, and for their teams to lose. An alternative can be to pay off the other boards to let India win. BCCI can always recover this through additional revenue generated if India wins. Every man has a price, all BCCI has to do is find the price.

In all likelihood, the ICC wont agree to these terms. So the BCCI can always organise another body like the ICC, controlled by the BCCI, and which will let India win tournaments. All major tournaments will be rigged, while the small ones, 2/3 nations can be competitive. The issue of players does exist, the BCCI with its clout can always buy out players and have them playing under their own nationalities. For instance BCCI can buy out the entire West Indian team, and ask them to play under the West Indies banner. In the major tournaments, they will dance according to BCCI’s wishes and let India win, but in small tournaments they can play properly.
The BCCI benefits in the second format because they get to keep the entire revenue generated from international cricket, and doesn’t have to give the ICC a share.

I suspect just the threat of BCCI pulling out of the ICC and ICC controlled cricket will force the ICC to agree to BCCI's terms. BCCI just needs to exercise some of its muscle.

BCCI should stop wasting its time trying to produce good cricketers, and look at using its money power to make all other nations dance to its wishers, BCCI is international cricket, and ICC should be made to serve BCCIs needs.
