EPISODE – XCVII
TOPIC: BCCI vs Court
BLOG: The Indian Express
DEAL WITH: Politics
GENRE: Editorial

When the apex court told the BCCI, in response to the affidavit against the Lodha panel recommendations, that it might prompt the panel to review a few proposals, it by no means suggested a respite (A respite is a short period of rest from something unpleasant) for the latter (When two people, things, or groups have just been mentioned, you can refer to the second of them as the latter). “There is no question of you wanting it. We, the Supreme Court, will decide whether we are inclined to send some restricted issues back to the committee for its decision,” the bench asserted.

That the court, while understanding that some of the recommendations are slightly implausible (If you describe something as implausible, you believe that it is unlikely to be true) and factoring in the board’s autonomy, still stood firmly by the Lodha panel, is best exemplified by its retort to BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur, who had written in the affidavit that the panel didn’t seek his views on the proposed recommendations. “The whole world knew this. So what were you doing? Waiting at the fence for a written invitation?”

The panel, while questioning the BCCI’s priorities, reiterated that they should at no point compromise on the interests of the viewers. “The prominent spirit should be viewer enjoyment. Do you mean that your commercial interests should take over the enjoyment of the viewers?” the bench asked. It was a timely rebuke (If you rebuke someone, you speak severely to them because they have said or done something that you do not approve of) for the board, which had been immune to the fans’ comfort and convenience — taking them for granted clearly, in the build-up to the T20 World Cup, as in the late start to online ticket sales and the uncertainty over a couple of prominent venues. Given the throbbing political subtext (The subtext is the implied message or subject of something that is said or written) of the ongoing issues Delhi and Dharamshala are mired (You can refer to an unpleasant or difficult situation as a mire of some kind) in, the Lodha panel’s recommendation that politicians shouldn’t hold any post in the board sounds more logical than ever.

Going by what transpired in the court on Thursday, the drama could drag on for a few more feisty (If you describe someone as feisty, you mean that they are tough, independent, and spirited, often when you would not expect them to be, for example because they are old or ill) episodes. But it won’t be long before the court starts dictating terms to the BCCI. And then there would hardly be any wriggle (If you wriggle somewhere, for example through a small gap, you move there by twisting and turning your body) room for the world’s richest cricket body.
