An Apartheid Body!!!

Another incident of apartheid comes to face the ICC. This time its some South African playe giving racist abuses to Pakistani spectators.
The International Council for Cricket, well so it says, but its the governing body or rather a protection body only for the white nations of the council.
In spite of the fact that the so called Asian block, is the reason for the cash flows into the ICC, there seems to be absolutely no respect whatsoever for players of non white nations.
The way decisions are given in a cricket match, you would think the umpires have gone blind. And they turn blind only when its the non white player who is at the receiving end. Sachin Tendulkar, one of the most legendary players, has some embarrassing decisions to his name. Namely, shoulder before wicket, pushed out, etc. And what were the umpires doing at that very instance? They were busy doing nothing. Absolutely irritating!!!
Then we have the famous Umpire, Darell Hair. He has an amazing reputation of being able to spot issues or create problems with the Pakistan cricket team or the Sri Lankan cricket team. His friendship with Muttiah Muralitharan is almost a tale of legends!!! Mr. Darell Hair called Murali for a no ball seven times during the course of a match. Even the legendary batsman, the late Sir Don Bradman was quoted as saying "worst example of umpiring that [he had] witnessed, and against everything the game stands for. Clearly Murali does not throw the ball".

If you look at players behaviour, white players are forgiven under the pretext of mere aggression or some other word, while non white players are pulled up for setting up wrong examples for the game. This smacks of double standards!!! The Australian team is the worst example of sportsmanship. They are undoubtedly the best team yet, but does that require them to be shamelessly arrogant? This team has a history of unwanted situations, they get into. I wont waste cyber space with repetitions of their childish behaviour. The West Indian team was also at its peak in the initial years of this game. No one could challenge their skills or the team. Yet, they were never so arrogant. Then what is it that makes this new lot so arrogant?

The BCCI on its part is just a pack on spineless individuals, who do not have any guts to put forth a fight for its players!! The way certain individuals are selected into the Indian cricket team, we wonder if they select the team by drawing lots? Our selectors are the worst!!!
Wonder when things might change. When would fair play prevail? Lets wait and watch!!!
