Hello world!
The silent aggressor has added a new dimension to team sports. By reaffirming the spirit of the game of cricket Anil Kumble has started a healthy debate. Even leading sportspersons from Australia are buying this theory and calling on Cricket Australia to end the disgusting behaviour of its world champion team.
Since the days of Steve Waugh, Australia have taken pride in their aggressive on and off-the-field behaviour. Thanks to the dubious role of umpires and the match referee, the sheen has been taken off Ricky Ponting’s team’s world-record equaling achievement. Instead of celebrating that record, Australia is bitterly divided over the way its cricketers behaved at Sydney. And nobody is blaming the Indians for crying over the loss. They have been able to show to the world that their defeat was engineered by some pretty bad umpiring decisions.
Winning is everything in this world but certainly not through dubious means. As Gandhiji had said the means are more important that the end.

The world order is changing. Today ICC needs BCCI more than BCCI needs ICC. The time when ICC could treat the Asian countries with contempt has gone. The Sri Lankan Cricket Board has supported BCCI. It is now time for countries like India to move forward, claim their rightful position and fight for their rights. A person who accepts a mistake is as bad as the person who commits it.
