Lalit Modi v Kent

Posted by Cricinfo - on 08/12/2008

From Jojy John Alphonso, India

My heartfelt sympathies for Kent, the county team snubbed by Lalit Modi and his cronies for the Twenty20 Challenger tournament to be held later this year. The ECB is probably the only cricketing board that had the courage to stand up to the might and arm-twisting techniques of the BCCI only to be let down by the South African and Australian boards. So what if some English counties took some ICL players on board? The only reason these ICL players were given a chance was because they were good. I wish a truce is called out before its too late. The BCCI can ban the ICL players from playing in their backyard but should NOT interfere in the affairs of boards elsewhere. Another ten years from now, the BCCI and Lalit Modi will have a lot of answering to do about how they killed the carrers of talented players that include names like Stuart Binny, Rayudu and their likes. The voices of Kapil Dev & company will not die down soon either.

indian cricket is full of politics
for example :arjun yadav played for the deccan chargers of hyderabad team but there are many talented players waiting in the wings
and in the indian domestic cricket he will not be given lbw though it is out
lalit modi has certainly spoliled the carers of rayudu and stuart binny

indian cricket is full of politics but there was no need for players like rayudu and binny to join the ICL. if u actually compare them they are nowhere near the standard of international players

Binny is a master piece,along with TP Singh and Sarabjeet of Lions. In bowling , SuperStar's Thiru Kumaran s grat especially in T20 ...like mendis and Mascarenhas. Ibrahim Khaleel the master wicketkeeper batsmn wud a good choice.

Just try to find outgud, 1 can surely get many with a good eye.
