Chappell tell BCCI Frig OFF


Chappell tells BCCI to Frig OFF

The BCCI reportedly has strict dos and don'ts for the commentators. The commentary team is reportedly barred from criticising Indian team selection, advocating the Decision Review System and discussing about the BCCI's administrative affairs.

According to a Hindustan Times report, former Australia captain Ian Chappell refused a place on the commentary panel because he disagreed with the terms and conditions set by the BCCI.

"I was invited by ESPN to do commentary. I emailed back asking who I was working for and the reply was; I was contracted by ESPN but I would be subject to BCCI restrictions," Chappell told HT. "I emailed back to ask what these restrictions were and was told; 'I couldn't talk about Indian selection, DRS or administrative matters. I responded saying I didn't feel I could do my job properly under those circumstances and therefore declined the offer."

Yeaaaaaaaa Chappell , about time some body tell them off.

disgusting by the BCCi! very undemocratic of them..totalitarian.

a person like Ian Chappell would never be able to function under such strictures.

that type of behavior....collusion really is natural between bureaucratic bodies..the BCCI and ESPN that seek to ensure they have total control of things. soon that is all we will have in the world...big bureaucracies dictating to us all

and of course when yuh make rules like that you have things to hide.

BCCI is crocked to its core...and with the rise of Indian cricket to dominate the world..Indian cricket power has taken off.

we are witnessing the new face of world cricket in all of this....Indian power. it is already worse than the face of old english cricket imperialism
