Now comes the true David vs Goliath in the form of the the PCB vs the BCCI. Not only is it that the BCCI have all the money and clout and the PCB have none but right now it is has been cast out by its fellow Politburo members awaiting the fate of the cast out Politburo members. To top that off BCCI is run by battle hardened politicians and businessmen while the PCB is essentially run by a bunch of amateurs. Not only is Goliath big it also has David's sling in its hand. That custodian of morality in cricket, the MCC, is firmly in the right moral corner with assigning current BCCI players only to its cricket committee and busily arranging IPL games on its ground. No, not a peep will be heard from them or anyone else for that matter. It is truly sad that the republican age of the ICC lasted all but a decade. Yet once the MCC was the ICC and there was one little board that chose to question its unquestioned bluster. It took a long time to rest the ICC from the MCC. The new usurper stands even more menacing and is still gaining strength but the little hobbit must travel to Mordor ... not to restore a king but to save the republic.
