Africa versus Asia - the crap continues
July 18, 2005So the selection committee for Asia for the Asia vs South Africa.. ooooooooops Asia vs Africa contains one member from each of the 4 Asian test nations who is not a national selector as specified by the ICC.
Harmless clause if you look at it at first glance. But then why were the selectors from the current national selectors for the Tsunami Asia vs Rest of the World match? Why the difference?
ICC is on a mission to wield more power than ever on member nations. So ICC will decide that it should not be one of the national selectors. It should be some one else who is not best for the task in their own nation currently but should pick the team for Asia. ICC stop all this non sense.
All I can say is thank God series like the Ashes are still existent.
First of all, its unbelievable that official status has been granted for this match. Aren’t cricketers professional enough to play a match in the right spirit? I believe personal records should reflect the contribution a player makes to his team/country. And secondly, as you say, it’s none of ICC’s business who should select the team. And where would you get a set of selectors not among the national selectors? Is the ICC going to select them too?
Again, as you say, stop the nonsense.
