Next moves by the new world order

Now that the big 3 have cornered the cricket market what will be their first moves apart from making themselves richer? Can see the DRS being reviewed and cancelled.

Reinstating the much-maligned Champions Trophy, best known only for having fewer lopsided matches than the ODI World Cup.

Would be very surprised if England and Australia agreed to get rid of DRS.

indian cements buying all rights to the term run out. will be known as an, Indian Cements run out (tm)

on second thought that would be ****ty marketing...

They would rather buy the term "not out" on a third umpire decision.

"another indian cements noooooooot out!"

Could be that the IPL might go on the road again to help some influential waverers come on board. They wouldn't do that would they? Naaah...

Yeah I read that elsewhere and the comments beneath the article were cynical to say the least. India have a ready made excuse that IPL7 clashes with their elections but that doesn't negate the possibility of taking the IPL on the road to secure an advantage.

The next step will be ICC being renamed as WCE(world cricket entertainment), all teams will be dissolved and there will be 2 rosters, Fresh(Raw) and Ugly brawl(Smackdown). The rosters will be handled by one general manager from Aus and one from England. Each roster will have to balance between a few heel teams and a few face teams. The heel teams will cheat, injure the best player in opp team by beating him with a sledgehammer when the umpire is not looking, field 15 guys and provoke the crowds, whereas the face teams will fight for justice and will get a special ability to win against opponents which are twice as good as them when the crowds chant their name. Srini will be the boss, and he'll even be a special guest umpire in some matches and challenge the best bowlers in the world(like Pierce Morgan did). Srini will bribe the bowler and tell him to bowl pies while his body double smashes him all round the park.

Giles Clarke has already done the Ashes Screwjob(Montreal screwjob) by axing KP. Excited to see what's going to happen next.
