When results of matches are perceived to be so blatantly unfair, the game of cricket itself comes into disrepute. The BCCI, as a key player in cricket administration worldwide, must take much blame.

But they helped bring India to this point. As a part of the ICC edifice, the BCCI must take more seriously its role in moving suitable changes in the way the game is conducted on the field.
