Why should ICC even exist? If they sit back and watch as Kenya and Zimbabwe disappear from the cricketing radar and rake in the T20 moolah from rich nations, and be dictated terms to by the financial powerhouses (read BCCI), is it even fit to call it the international cricket governing body? If BCCI can dare to have a say on who has to be the next South African cricket chief, things are just disgustingly wrong.

As Bob is to Zim, BCCI is to cricket. It is called dictatorship. There is no will to help struggling nations anywhere in the cricketing community, and the political situation does not help either. So, we are doomed.

I'm sorry to say this, but Zimbabwe's mess is of its own making. ICC has provided enough funds for Zim to kick back. However, ZC continues to fail to utilize it properly. In any other sport, Zimbabwe would have been banned long ago due its incompetent board. It is only due to its privilege as a Full Member and the BCCI's backing that Zim still continues to play its limited number of matches.
