None of these full member boards were bonkers enough to get dissolved by their parent sports ministry or court order (except maybe BCCI). Though in BCCI's case cricket is pretty big deal where hundreds of millions of people care, so it is easy for public interest to demand external intervention. To get the job done in environment where nobody gives a **** like USACA and Cricket Kenya have y'all have to pretty dire

Zimbabwe is the obvious answer. I voted for WI because they deserve to be second on this list.

ZC is probably the worst. But for pure fktardery it's SLC by a country mile.

The list of crimes committed by the ECB,
- Paywalling the entire sport when it was at an absolute high (Ashes 2005), turning it into a minority sport
- The Stanford Affair, getting in bed with a convicted fraudster for a ''winner takes twenty million'' competition
- Prohibiting England players from playing for their counties.
- Labeling their own Twenty20, The Blast, as ''mediocre'' in order to promote The Hundred.
- Rescheduling the county championship so that it isn't played in high summer.
- Reducing the number of championship games and creating lop-sided divisions.
- eradicating the coin toss
- Ruthless (and hypocritical) treatment of Durham, tearing one of the most successful (at producing England players) counties apart.
- Bribing counties with cash handouts to not bid on test matches
- The Hundred.
- Announcing The Hundred with ***ist and patronising comments (Strauss)
- Multiple items associated with The Hundred, launching it for people who ''dislike cricket'', making it up as they go along, etc etc.
- Chief executives giving themselves £600,000 yearly bonuses.
- The handling of the Stokes affair (banning him from playing when he wasn't charged yet allowing him to play when he was charged!!).
I could go on.
