It's not the fault of the executive of the ICC - people like Malcolm Speed are good guys who do their best for the game. It's that the decisions of the ICC are governed by the board and the structure of the ICC is wrong for world cricket. They've cocked up on every single policy issue." - Wasn't Malcolm Speed the CA Chief Executive who hushed up the Warne-Waugh-bookie collusion in 1993/4?<BR/><BR/>Top bloke, Malcolm!!!<BR/><BR/>CheersHomerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13949049044524078820noreply@blogger.com
