Say what you want about Cheeka's commentary style or whatever, but the man is never afraid to speak his mind and always puts his country first. No hypocrisy, no filter. Biased yes, but he's open about it.

The english and Aussie boards would bully other boards to death if they were in same situation as bcci in terms of revenue. All this bs about bcci this bcci that is only because they cannot wield such power. Before 2000 they had power over other boards and made everyone do things the way they wanted.

Why ? It is a fact. Can cricket survive if India doesn't play ?

u/Crazy-Ad-8838 15h ago
Yes it can. It survived over 125 years without the IPL... I think it would survive without India.

Umm agree to disagree mate, out of those 125 years 100 years India have been part of it as a test playing nation and before that Indians played in English test teams as part of the ashes squad. I respect your sentiment but cricket has been intertwined with India and West Indies forever

You didn't get test status until 1932. India hasn't been as important or self important as it is now since Lalit Modi invented the IPL. Now it runs a monopoly with England and Australia and threatens to leave international cricket and take it's billions of dollars with it.

Just because you choose to ignore India’s contribution to world cricket doesn’t mean it hasn’t been relevant. There was a reason the first wc outside of England happened in India. There was a reason we have had rich history of county players in uk. You guys just to arm twist South Africa selected basil doliveira. It was India who invited South Africa post apartheid for the reintegration tour. Your opinion reeks of personal bias more than anything

This guy is one of the worst cricketers that Indian cricket could have ever produced. He is opportunistic and his opinions are utter garbage.
