Cricket or Crisis: Isn't it time to take decisions?

The recent controversy surrounding cricket in India has made a complete mockery of the game. Who is to blame? Some have come out strongly in open for Ganguly's support, while others feel its time for him to bid farewell to the game.

But the saddest part is that the governing body, the BCCI, has yet again failed to make up its mind. Be it the television rights issue or the internal elections, I haven't seen them taking a firm stance. I don't care if they prove to be right or wrong, taking a decision is what matters today. One learns from wrong decisions, even a child does that, but I am afraid the so called caretakers of the sport are afraid to even try. Cricket and in general, the whole country has suffered thus far due to lack of firm decisions on the part of people who are capable of doing so.

Of course, politics is playing a big part in all this, and who knows, the seed to all this controversy could well have been sown to get some political mileage. I may be paranoid here but when it comes to elections and politics anything is possible. It's easy sitting back and writing all this, everyone seems to be an expert when it comes to discussing the corruption surrounding the whole system, isn't it time to do something, isn't it time to take strong decisions?
