Aha just posted the Jay Shah news in another thread.
IMHO Jay Shah as the finance head of the global committee is far more dangerous than Barclay being the Chairman because i believe BCCI is gearing up for a revenue drama (it'll impact everyone), which was started by Shashank Manohar a few years back.
Revenue drama was first started by N Srinivasan, when he changed the usual revenue distribution model, and then proposed to reduce the associate funding to zero. Shashank Manohar implemented a proposal that was somewhere in between (the pre-2015 model and the Srinivasan model). Then the BCCI negotiated further to increase their share and Manohar modified his proposal again. It was again altered when Ireland and Afghanistan were promoted as full members. Their increased share came from the associate pot, and it further weakened the associate nations.
From BCCI's perspective, it was all started by Shashank Manohar because they really think that he F$ucked em over, that's why I think these guys will try something new this time and no more status quo.
Hypothetical and not realistic but I wonder what if BCCI goes into destructive mode and actually back the associate members by increasing their pot? Let's say 50% deduction from all full tests nation.
England is about to win the world cup ladies and gentlemen. they are just 10 run away for the vicotry 2 sixs and the match is in over.
Pakistan should have done a much higher score at least to win the match.
