And the Bangabandhu Stadium, which in earlier days used to be full even for no account games, is not even one quarter full today.
Match fixing is on everyone's mind.
And the attention is focussed, entirely, on the various players named in the scam. While on that subject, it is interesting that with Nayan Mongia coming in to the side in place of Saba Karim, all four Indians whose names figure in various allegations are back on active duty with the squad. Which, I guess, tells us just how serious the board is about what is easily the game's biggest scandal. And that in turn brings up a question that has been bothering us for a while now. It is blindingly obvious that the BCCI has been consistently mismanaging the affairs of Indian cricket.
