It sounds pretty ominous.Chappell said he was particularly concerned about the standard of first-class
cricket in India now that the rebel Twenty20 Indian Cricket League has ripped up
to 44 players out of the domestic competition.
"There would be some
club sides in Melbourne which would now probably be better than some of the
first-class teams in India," he said.
He fears India's success in
the Twenty20 World Cup, prompting millions to mob the returning heroes, will
ease the pressure for structural reform in the country.
Surely, his concern for the structural reform is misplaced.
Did we ever have one?
