Jon Hotten, writing in his blog the Old Batsman, believes that it's no surprise that the ECB and Cricket Australia have succumbed to the demands of the BCCI.
Admittedly it's a bit of a leap from Ryan Gosling to N Srinivasan, but the point's the same: a body will obey its nature most of the time. The leak of the ICC's position paper simply suggests the logical conclusion of a direction that has been apparent for a long while. That the wealthy and powerful will exert their wealth and power is not really news in the wider sense.
