The real reason why Bhajji's ban was overturned.

Wonder why CA succumbed?

Cricket Australia was anxious to have the charge dropped because it feared its board would be sued for a figure understood to be about $60 million if India quit the tour. India's broadcast partner, ESPN, owns the lucrative contract to beam cricket from Australia into the subcontinent. If ESPN sued successfully, it could take 10 years to recoup the losses, Cricket Australia told the players

Don't you get it? BCCI with its money power bought ESPN and ESPN now owned by BCCI threatened to sue.

Boohoo! Poor CA, poor Ponting, poor Symonds and by the way poor stump mike.

Yuck!
