Silly Point – so thought BCCI

Silly Point – so thought BCCI

Funny: Back then in 1983, it was the minion India facing the mighty West Indies in Cricket World Cup final. No one gave India a chance.

Punny: Come 2016, it was the wiry Lodha wearing an innocent smile taking on the ‘pawar’full BCCI. Many thought BCCI would bulldoze Lodha

F: Silly of BCCI to have not seen the point

P: Now Supreme Court has literally and figuratively ‘swept’ away BCCI

F: 70+ score in Cricket and you look for century

P: Here, it is ‘obituary’!

F: They thought they could ‘swing’ the decision in their favor

P: What they didn’t reckon was it could be ‘reversed’

F: BCCI even tried to ‘spin’ a yarn quoting a comment allegedly by no less than ICC president labelling the Lodha Committe recommendations as ‘government interference’

P: SC read the ‘wrong-un’ well and countered it by ‘perjury and contempt of court’

F: It left BCCI running for ‘cover’ instead of ‘running between wickets’

P: Lodha ‘squared them up’ with sustained fiery attack

F: And left them ‘leaden footed’

P: Not knowing whether to go ‘forward’ or ‘backward’, ‘attack’ or ‘defend’, BCCI in the end ended up achieving neither

F: BCCI ‘overstepped’ trying every trick, going ‘over’ and ‘around’ the legalities

P: Ajay can no longer ‘shirk’e away from his responsibility

F: Ragged and dragged, Anurag’s ‘innings’ has been cut short abruptly

While, West Indies paid the price for complacency, BCCI is ‘clean bowled’ by its arrogance. Forced into ‘retirement’, its pride ‘hurt’, BCCI is licking the wounds. For now all it can do is cast a surreptitious ‘glance’ toward the ‘fine leg’ in the ‘gulley’ region! It was a ‘test’ that BCCI couldn’t survive and is reduced to ‘ashes’. Bruised and battered, banished beyond ‘boundary’, BCCI is at ‘sixes and sevens’ unable to figure out what hit them. Will it rise like phoenix from the ‘ashes’? Present tense, only future will tell!
