I only know what I read in the papers; but this is an interesting topic you raise JaK.

My understanding is that the role is rotational and the next belonged to AUS./N.Z. nominee.
So your India comment may be wide of the mark? Or were you arguing for a break in the rotational policy?

Aus./N.Z. will now have to bite the bullet and
  • retract JH's nomination, and
  • probably put fwd the N.Z. nomination instead.

Which means JH misses why...?
  • lacks cricket experience
  • lacks admistrational (sic) experience
  • spoke against Robert Mugabe
  • would fight corruption in cricket.



I think Eddie would lock in the last.

I don't believe in rotation and symbolic representation. We are talking about the need of a dynamic style of leadership here!

No, JH will continue with his nomination! He will not withdraw!

Although his presence there would be widely symbolic, he 'd push ahead conservative ideas in accordance to the interests of the existing Anglo/Aus/NZ bloc. We need a democratic leadership here.

African / Asian nations might rightly or wrongly have different attitudes toward Mugabe than the Anglo / Aus / NZ bloc.

Quoting typo mistakes (such as "admistrational" instead of the correct administrational) made in the SB due to lack of time to re-read and correct won't get you places. At least I acknowledge my mistakes unlike your "thredonic" attempts to exhibit some sophistication.

I am not really impressed by your cricket knowledge as exhibited in other threads. Don't engage if you are not sure what you are talking about!

Please, don't proceed into being more open about naming certain personalities involved in whatever you interpret as "corruption."

PS As homework, re-read my S/B comment about BCCI, do some extra search to learn one or two things about their way of approaching situations and come back with some useful observations. Being clueless is not a crime, but it's certainly not an advantage!

hi JaK
Thanks for clarifying. I see you are advocating a change of policy from the rotational system. Fair enough. I don't have a view on this; but now I have opened a thread we may find some will engage.

As we would anticipate no less than this.
Some newspapers indicate the nomination will be withdrawn and a N.Z. sub. put forward.

Can't say I would want to argue against this idea of yours.

Of course.

I pledge guilty as alleged. I did not even notice the typo.

I did admit to it being limited to what I read in the journalistic Press.

Well, that will probably drop my post-count rate.

I was simply quoting Peter Roebuck, the journalist.

PS As homework, re-read my S/B comment about BCCI, do some extra search to learn one or two things about their way of approaching situations and come back with some useful observations.
After the earlier warning JaK I don't think I will even be walking on the grass.

Being clueless is not a crime, but it's certainly not an advantage!
Yes, Bill.
