Think they would be more accepted if they didn't try to change BCCI all the way through and make some crazy recommendation.
at one point they were thinking of banning adverts because apparently overseas broadcasters don't have adverts.
seen cricket in sub c channel and yes the adverts can be annoying and ruin the tv experience but frankly that blame goes to the tv people and the fact the Indian adverts got that annoying music or just annoying adverts that repeated all the time.
when itv had adverts every over it hardly bothered me during the IPL, so adverts don't ruin experience of the fan.
not sure it was wise to effectively ban all administrators and have strict time length for administrators.
I really don't see how they creating more accountability or transparency into the Indian cricket considering all they really doing is kicking the old people out and bringing new people in.
Think they would be more accepted if they started actually changing things rather just sacking everyone and not really telling anyone how BCCI would be different in the future.
for all the faults of BCCI it should be noted they been actually doing a good job in the grass root and domestic side of the game, if you look at the public bodies of other indian sports and they all be suffering at the grass roots, the administrators are mostly corrupt and they are broke.
it is quite frightening to hear at the moment that Supreme court doesn't care about the domestic game in india or the grass roots, none of the recommendation helps them and many of the sanction or recommendation actually hurts the game.
the more the lodha group speak the more you sense they just trying to get rid of BCCI administrators so some new members can get the job or dismantle BCCI and get a new body in.
not sure that really good for the game considering finances, players, domestic, ipl everything will suffer which in turn affect the world economy in cricket.
at least with BCCI you know what they bring to the table and generally want the game to prosper in india with the other group you have no idea about their motivations.
You really have to question their motives when they came up with stupid idea like banning adverts, is like they actually want cricket to die in india and for the rest of the world.
http://www.espncricinfo.com/india/conte ... 58725.html"It is recommended that all existing contracts for international Test & One-Day matches be revised and new ones ensure that only breaks taken by both teams for drinks, lunch and tea will permit the broadcast to be interrupted with advertisements, as is the practice internationally
would really love to know which broadcaster doesn't show Adverts BBC, stopped showing cricket in 1998 or 1999 if you include world cup.
Australia adverts every over.
Asia every over
only sky shows adverts every 20 mins and that only because we bloody pay big bucks for the service.
people in India and Australia more or less get it for free although Star is a subscription channel in india but it is like Eurosports in the uk where only a cheap basic package is needed.
really hard to take a body seriously when they seriously wanted adverts banned.
