BCCI - I am back !!

They have a portal called www.bcci.tv where they claim that their website is coming soon. How soon ? I guess it would be when Duke Nukem forever would be released.

Apart from ICC there is something called asian cricket council. Well apparently as per the ACC website the BCCI head-office is still SK Nair's house. Check this page on ACC website.

Check this page at Marylebone cricket club [ MCC - Lords ] website. SK Nair strikes back.

Check this page on Newzealand cricket website. Even Bangladesh cricket has a website. Hongkong cricket has a website. Whats wrong with BCCI? And whats with SK Nair? Wake up Pawar, we arent that dumb. Gone are those days. Face the flak. Wherever the office is..update the address dude. Even Kiran More is gone now. Why have Nairs name there ..

I sincerely request all you guys to drop SK Nair the ex-secretary an email at the email ID mentioned below and ask him what was he thinking when he put up HIS home address and this stupid email address called secbcci@sify.com [?] as BCCI contact details. Poor guy...not his fault. But I mean was he nuts when he did that?

Here is how the conversation would have went - when ICC/ACC/MCC wanted the contact details.

Timeframe - Navaratri - Durgapuja days
Location - Somewhere in Calcutta.

Nair - Mr $[Dal]miya, I got a "fax" from Malcom Speed. They say they need our contact details and web address.
$miya - Website? whats that? Why the fuck do they need that. Tell them people in subcontinent dont care about what-is-it-called..website..
Nair - Err Sir, there is this thing called Internet which is a series of tubes. Everyone has their address there these days and its required apparently.
$miya - Crap, whatever. Look I have to go. I got to go talk to the Ten Sports guys. Lot of $ at stake you see. Why dont you put your residence address for now on that Internet?
Nair - Err..Okey Sir. But they need an email address too sir.
$miya - Email address? What on earth is that? Look Nair I have to go its important.
Nair - ? ...Sir..
$miya - Okey, hey why dont you go talk to Saurav I guess he would know about it. Talk to him and figure it out. Afterall, if he is not doing good with the bat, he better be good with this whole email thing. Now I have to go, getting late..

[ And the rest is history. Not only Saurav solved Nair's problems, but he did create few for $miya too and he did all that using EMAIL ... ]

Disclaimer :

If sometime in future the BCCI guys are pissed off since I get the first hit on google [ which means they are idiots at SEO as well ] here is a cached link as an evidence.
