Cricket in deep trouble

Peter Roebuck, writing in the Hindu, says cricket is in a terminal state of decay, following revelations in Malcolm Speed's autobiography, instances of corruption and the exclusion of Associates from the next World Cup.

Despite the best efforts of the dedicated few, including the ICC staff, cricket is suffering from a rotting soul.

Take a look around the ICC top table. Most of the outstanding men have left, and it's high time the rest joined them. Cricket is dominated not by the best the game has to offer but the worst.
