The more things change

Those who ignore history are condemned to repeat it.

Three years ago, Sharad Pawar took over the reins of the BCCI, and brought with him a brand new Board. Their promise, outlined in a grandly titled "Vision Paper", was to clean the system like Hercules did with the Augean Stables. Simply put, except in the matter of filling up the Board's coffers (which they have done spectacularly) they have either reneged on or not fulfilled most of their promises.

I never thought I'd look back at the days of Jagmohan Dalmiya with nostalgia.

P.S.  Prem Panicker, has a cogent analysis of the BCCI "report card" that was written up by a very sympthetic writer, Clayton Murzello.
