I don't know how things get done in India, but you don't negotiate with Courts here. You do as you're told.

probably could have just stopped there.

 

[Burgey]

Who makes a publicity and negotiating play against a court ffs? Answer me, ****.

 

[Jono]

For like, at least 5-7 years, everyone on this forum has spoken about how douchey, immoral and corrupt BCCI is. Those ****s trying to turn public opinion against the courts and in their favour isn't that hard to believe, surely?

Pablo Escobar.

Cleaver Greene.

 

[OverratedSanity]

What in the ****?! What a bunch of pathetic ****s. The dumbass public won't see through this either.

 

[Burgey]

Indeed.

What's the story with the Indian Justice system? Do they elect judges over there in the same way they do in the US, or are they guaranteed appointees for life/ a set age like decent countries do it?

Maaaaate, come on. I know you listen to Ray Hadley and Alan Jones of a morning because they're the shock jocks of choice for wannabe hipsters such as yourself, and you know they rant and rave against judges every day of the week. And the judges laugh at them because they don't give a **** what the media or public think when it comes to handing down decisions, and nor should they.

Is it like that in India, or are judges elected like in parts of the US?

 

[Jono]

I don't get your argument ? Just because the judges wouldn't care or be intimidated doesn't mean BCCI wouldn't try the move. Its like you're arguing that its a dumb move, when no one is suggesting otherwise. Just that the BCCI are awful enough to pull that lever.

To my knowledge, Supreme Court judges are appointed by the President on recommendation of respected judiciary members. But I'm not an expert at Indian jurisprudence.

It isn't the same as the US where it goes through the Senate.

 

[Burgey]

It's not an argument, it's a question as to whether judges have security of tenure in India or whether they are elected and therefore this sort of thing could have an impact on them. No doubt it's a low act either way, but only in one of those scenarios might it actually have a realistic effect.

This is better.

 

[cnerd123]

Wtf BCCI.

 

[Athlai]

I knew Rohit Sharma scoring runs would destroy Indian cricket. I ****ing knew it.

 

[indiaholic]

The Indian courts have in the recent past been notorious for judicial over reach. They do try and make laws which you would ideally want the legislature to be doing. So they aren't really saints here but an attempt at bargaining with the courts would be truly bizzare.

 

[honestbharani]

They are not saints at all, but in this case, they are, for taking on the **** BCCI.

 

[Jono]

this still isn't on Cricinfo?

 

[honestbharani]

Don't worry.. they are very much sold out to de current BCCI regime. Expect Monga or Ugra to whip out a **** article on why BCCI admins need to hold on to their positions forever for the good of the "game"...

 

[Jono]

if Cricinfo had sold out to the BCCI and were doing them favours, I think they would actually have an article on it. The BCCI would want people to know that they are being "forced" to cancel the series I'd have thought?
