commentary by SHAM SAMAROO

Throughout its history, the ICC has been bedeviled with allegations of unsavory practices and rulings. The feeling was that, invariably, the actions and rulings of the ICC, more often than not, tended to support the power brokers of world cricket. Until recently, the power brokers were England and Australia – and this reality fueled the perception of racial overtones to actions of the ICC. 

Stripped of political correctness (I have never been a fan of PC, you know) what the critics were alleging, in not so many words, was that the decisions of the white-controlled ICC were disproportionately unfavourable to the non-white teams and nations.
