The cricketwithballs blog says cricket is run by a 1 % minority - administrators and politicians - while the 99%, the fans, have no say. The blog lists the shortcomings of the ICC and all its member boards, and suggests fans take a more active role by emailing the ICC with suggestions for what changes could be made to the way the game is run.
We can all sit around with our friends lazily whining about the abominable job the ICC has done to run cricket, or we can type down our thoughts on just what we think they should be doing. We can ask for minutes of their meetings to be made public. We can ask for a fans associations to be allowed to represent the fans. We can mention that the world cup is for the world. We can tell them the true marketing value of Tests. And we can remind them that this is a game that people only make money from this game because of our love for it.
