Couple of things,

its BCCI not ICB, no such thing.

Harbhajan cant say anything in 'Hindu' because you cant say anything in 'Christian', he said something in Hindi

Now that we have crossed that bridge, can we just agree nearly all professional cricketers plying their trade today are cheats to a degree, I mean they will try and do anything that they think they can get away with, and the euphemism for it is 'professionalism'.

Also the BCCI are trying bullying tactics on the rest of the cricket world, I guess being responsible for 70% of the revenue lets you do that. They along with many think they are justified in forcing home their advantage(think the US and its position of being the only true superpower) after years of being treated as 2nd class citizens in the world of cricket.

I happen to disagree, I think the more noble thing would have been to say we know we have all this power, and can pretty much do what we want, BUT instead of being arrogant, we will abide by the rules and laws.

About the cricket, Australia should be too strong for India in the end, but the series should be tight, flat one day pitches should suit their batsmen.

But I think this really is a one off for India, I dont think they are Australias biggest threat in any form of cricket. This is the final hurrah for a generation, Dravid, ganguly, Tendulkar, Sehwag, Kumble, laxman, all on the wrong side of 30, and will retire soon, with lesser players replacing them.

Australia has been losing players, but has also been blooding replacements in small increments, so as to not ruin the balance of the team, Australia will continue to dominate.

And long may it continue!
