BCCI & New Dispute

BCCI & New Dispute
It looks that disputes and BCCI [Board of Cricket Control in India] are running on the parallel lanes of cricketing roads. One after another dispute is following the BCCI. Before coming to recent one, my question is why it happens always that decisions of BCCI, goes on to give birth to dispute and why always BCCI comes out of winner? If we look at the composition of BCCI, over the years it is managed by nonprofessionals and most of times by the politicians. This non professional attitude is putting the decisions under the dispute and for the politicians nothing is more important than time being gains, though politicians are said to be most compromising persons through out the world but here power makes their ego such high that they often forget to think or listen the views of others and that keeps the space for the dispute. Coming to winning of BCCI in the every dispute it is happening because BCCI is one among the richest sports association not only of India but also of the world. Who can deny the power of money in the modern life? More importantly the structure in India that there is no other association that can challenge BCCI in the cumulative format, this might be the reason behind the non recognition of ICL [Indian Cricket league] because in future this might result in constitution of another cricketing association in the country. In every dispute, it may be the dropping of Saurav or Rahul, one has to fight at individual levels and it is natural that in this fight of individual and association, association comes out as winner. It is not easy to forget how rudely Kiran More, chairman of selection committee was giving statement to press “Sourav will not be selected in the team till he is chairman”.
The recent decision of BCCI, which has provide space for the dispute, is restricting the members and chairman of the selection committee from giving interviews to media and writing columns in the news papers. I can’t understand how the bylaws of BCCI suggesting this, in a country where right of expression is the basic right of every citizen? Dilip Vengsarkar has started opposing it but it might be more effective if the members of selection committee had resigned their post at the moment this ban was posed on them and try to collect the protesting force. We had to remember that BCCI had provided many occasions for the union of players and others but concerned people always failed in utilizing the opportunity. This failure is yet another reason that give birth to dispute along with Every decision of BCCI.

Writings without Image
When it comes to writing skills it is said to be expression of imaginations, but when it comes to writing related to with an event or sports coverage it turns into sheer the combination of effect produced by the properly chosen and appropriately arranged words and images [photographs]. It is just beyond imagination how will appear the words without a picture [in print media] covering an event or sports happening, because it is said that expression of picture start from the end point of expression power of words.
I come across with a news that news papers in the Shrilanka were forced to cover first Test match of on going test match series between Shrilanka and Australia without any photographs, just because Cricket Australia – CA persisted on the issue of coverage , the rights of live television coverage might be match with the understandings and stands to reasoning but CA went beyond this to claim their rights even on the photographs taken by the photographers of the print media during an ongoing match at Australian grounds.
This is not just an urge for additional earning from the sport but this will go to produce a great impact which might even result in vanishing of sport page from the most of small and medium sized newspapers, if the other sport authorities decide to walk on the foot prints of CA. This will not be surprise as BCCI, the world’s richest sport association already extended support to CA, though it is another thing that BCCI will not taste the success in Australian way but surely it is alarming call for the print media.
It is a fact that electronic media is successful in the reducing the readership of print media but still at least in the developing and under developing countries print media is the only and major medium of mass communication. It is matter to think for the sports associations through out the world weather to support or force CA for withdrawing this. After all it is quite possible that print media may also go for the option of not publishing any sports news and surely that will result in loss of popularity of many sports and drying up of inwards economic flow for the sports authorities.
To me in person this is crossing the natural human rights and hence I am publishing this blog without a photograph even though there are a lot of free photos to use.
