The corrupt boss of ICC, has no shame for his great game. Looks like he was not convicted by an Indian court, or was the Indian court biased? And Indians still support the corrupt, how strange? Demand honesty from the world and don't say a word for own thieves. Very well done India, preach others to be honest - practice what is beneficial for self?
