Aussies will be trounced though no time soon
And the Aussies win yet another World Cup and we go into yet another tizzy wondering over whether we will ever be able to beat them. One can't be too sure about the Indian cricket team given their ability to choke even in the initial stages of a tournament, but the world I am sure will produce a team that will overcome the mighty Aussies. Why do I say that with so much conviction? Because sport like many things in the world is rather cyclical. The Aussies may be having a great time now but for many world cups prior to the last three, they were unable to clinch it. I also look for inspiration to the English Premier League to support my arguments. a few years ago Manchester United (the Red devils for whom no amount of praise is enough ) were on top of the league. They were invincible, ruthless and won almost every damn tournament that they played in. But one year later it was Arsenal that acquired their spot and just two years after that it has been Chelsea FC.
So let us not worry so much about the Aussies' invincibility. It exists and it is not a myth presently (as proven by New Zealand just a few weeks before the World Cup) but then it cannot last forever. If Clive Lloyd and his invincible West Indian team could be trounced I am prettyt sure anyone can be given their industriousness and luck during a tournament.
Also why on earth is the BCCI so concerned about operations in the ICC? With Indian cricket going through a phase that is likely to generate sufficient controversy in the coming days, it seems like a great move to divert attention to irrelevant points. BCCI, with its overflowing cash reserves, has always attracted characters like Jaywant Lele and Niranjan Shah who have the longevity and utility of a World Cup. Now that its over and we have been convincingly trounced let us get the present idiot out and usher in a new one, I would say he deserves the chance to prove his inefficiency and stupidity like his predecessors.
