'Cricket Is Being Dominated By...': South Africa Legend Makes Explosive Statement
He was instrumental in exposing BCCI to the whole new world of commercialisation of the game's broadcast but former Cricket South Africa president Dr Ali Bacher doesn't like only three boards "marginalising" others in order to enjoy complete hegemony. It is no secret that India, Australia and England cricket boards decide the cricket calendar and Bacher, who brought the Proteas cricket to mainstream, post-apartheid, isn't amused at all. "When I was the chairman of ICC's development committee, my objective was to spread the game. It's not happening today. Cricket today is dominated by India, Australia, England. South Africa has been marginalised, Pakistan has been marginalised, West Indies has been marginalised. That's not good," Bacher, now 81, told PTI during an exclusive interview while watching the India and South Africa opening Test.

Shafique had earlier dropped a catch from David Warner in the first innings and former Australia slip fielder Mark Waugh was not impressed.“Like a crocodile jaw trying to take a catch. Get him out of there,” Waugh said on commentary.
Bizarre Scenes During Australia vs Pakistan 2nd Test At MCG As Play Delayed Due To This Reason
The start of play after lunch on Day 3 of the second Test match between Australia and Pakistan in Melbourne was delayed for a bizarre reason. All the players and on-fielders umpires were out in the middle but the play could not start for a few minutes as third umpire Richard Illingworth was stuck in a lift and could not make his way back to his setup. The players were not clear regarding the delay and the on-field umpires informed them about the situation. However, it was resolved in some time as Illingworth took his position and the game was able to start with Pakistan in a dominant position for the time being.
