ICC (International Cricket Council) - Rubbish organisation filled with Racists

Sachin cannot remove the dirt in the seam of the ball, Ganguly cannot see the replay of him given out wrongly in the giant screen in Australia, Sehwag cannot appeal for a legitimate dismissal - Indian and subcontinent players have to make sure that they ask the permission of umpires, match refrees and all other delegates of ICC before doing so.

But Brian Lara can snatch the ball from umpire's hands and thus making us forget who is the official, Glenn McGrath can spit on umpire's face, Damien Martyn can say F*** *** to the umpire, Michael Slater can curse any one on the field, Allan Donald can give a mouthful of abuse - but yet, these are just frustrations.

The players from subcontinent have been the bunny of ICC and don't know why the boards of respective countries don't react when their players are treated like pigs by ICC. Every bloody bugger in ICC so far have been a racist. ICC is forgetting that the four countries in Asia are the biggest revenue generators for cricket in this world and if they stop, there will be no cricket.

It was pathetic to see Brian Lara dictating the terms on field. If Dravid had done the same, he would have been fined 200% of the match fee, 50 match ban, seizure of his passport, and freezing of his bank accounts.

Hell with ICC (Idiots Cricket Council) - run by idiots and supported by idiots.

Succumbing to CAS

Yes, finally, after much of deliberation, I broke my principle of standing against the use of the idiotic set top box and bought one last week. Only one aspect made me go for it - the return of DMK to power in TN which was earlier instrumental in Chennaiites alone suffering this disease. I felt I was missing my favourite movies, sports and channels like Discovery and National Geographic and so had to force a reversal of my ideals. Just the week before I bought (May last week), every channel was swamping with news of Rahul Mahajan and his drug case that I got so fed up with no alternate channels to watch. This just pushed me further to go for STB.

God only knows why Chennaiites (including me) were so inept and not agitate like people of North do when CAS was introduced. The recent agitation against reservation policy is a classic example of difference in the way people take up issue in the North and South. The Tamil nickname 'thayir sadam' suits us just fine.

The STB is black in colour and aptly, it will a "black box" in the history of Chennai life for ever.
