The new power of India

The new power of India
is a surprising reversal of history. For a century, since
the first test match against Australia in 1877, England has been the
undisputed master of world cricket. The I mperial Cricket Conference ( ICC ), which was
created in 1909 and united England, Australia and South Africa,
administered international cricket but was in fact a front for the
Marylebone Cricket Club ( MCC ), which is installed at Lord's Cricket Ground in
North London. This private club reserved for the English elite ran
English cricket, which he had set the rules (pompously called the
"Laws") since 1787. ICC(renamed the International Cricket Council
in 1989) became an independent body only in 1993. Until that date,
England and Australia retained a veto over any decision
made by other countries. After the creation of the World Cup (which was
played on matches of 50 throws for each camp), the
first three tournaments, 1975, 1979 and 1983, took place in England. The reluctance to take
professionalism seriously is at the heart of the cricket crisis in
England. This sport was until the fifties the most "national"
of all sports, according to the historian Ross McKibbin. Unlike football
and gambling XIII(workers) or tennis and rugby (bourgeois), it was
practiced and watched by the whole spectrum of society. However, he never escaped
completely the control imposed by the English ruling classes in the early
nineteenth century. English cricket kept the plebs
out not only on the field but also in the stands. It
may have retained or even acrru its attraction force but all attempts
to make it more competitive and popular have met with stiff

resistance until there is no alternative.
