There must be more to it than meet our eyes

Mallaya has to give public explanation re reasons and what was the pay out to Sharma

Re SRK and Kol;kata players—there has to be human element to these guys and their families–are they getting paid the sign on fees etc

I’m sure if the BCCI was on the kind of budget that the ECB or Cricket Australia run on they wouldn’t be having so many support staff jet-setting around the globe.
They’ve got money to burn & there’s no sign of it drying it, so why should they worry.

Sanjay: That is the difference between spending “ooran veetu sothu”(public money) and “sondha veetu sothu” (personal money). For an organization with no accountability, junkets are not surprising.
