Articulating a perception held by ‘sub continentals’ that England and Australia fear India's importance, Sunil Gavaskar, the International Cricket Council's cricket committee chief continued in his syndicated column that
"Those worried of the prospect of India's hegemony were conveniently forgetting that only a few years back, there were two Australians at the top of the ICC.
"Once again, it is a misplaced belief that they are the only ones with honesty, integrity and have the welfare of the game at heart, while the 'subcontinentals' do not.
"Every controversy in international cricket has shown that no country has the monopoly on honesty and integrity, and so should not be looking down upon others.
"Still, it is a habit that is hard to get over, and so it is anathema to think that those who were the ruled can one day become the rulers."
This column should stir another controversy like his earlier one on Mike Procter and this blogger unashamedly admits that he is looking forward to the coming days with glee.
