What Indian cricket needs-

1. Tearaway pace bowlers.
2. Spinners who turn the ball rather than just drop it.
3. All-rounders who can bowl decently fast, not more Adam Hollioake types.
4. Outfields conducive to active fielding.
5. A domestic limited-overs cricket series in conditions similar to international matches
6. Promotion of domestic cricket, at the grounds and on TV
7. Innovative strategies right down to school level.
8. Media manager
9. Co-ordinator with corporates
10. Above all, encouragement of improved team performances and leadership at all levels.

What the BCCI is trying to do or get-

1. Squabble on who shows international matches, then give it to slip-shod DD
2. Squabble on elections.
3. Squabble on who becomes manager.
4. Squabble on playing/endorsing contracts
5. Conduct 30-second meetings.
6. Keep a watch on their political and legal careers.
7. Luxury holidays in the guise of board meetings and other work.

Clearly, the two are going far apart.
