Malcolm Speed,ICC cricket CEO,Good Riddance


Malcolm Speed , good riddance


Andrew Miller,writes in Cricinfo magazine that the ousting of Malcolm Speed as ICC CEO is an admission of the factionalism in the ICC


I am glad to see Malcolm Speed go as ICC CEO


Malcolm Speed has often be seen to be partisan and has made almost as many gaffes as Ray Mali.


Malcolm Speed may have had issues with the BCCI, but that didnt mean that he could make nasty , gloating comments about India and the inability for a country with a population of 1 billion to win the cricket World cup..


I may not be a great fan of the BCCI, but Malcolm Speed, as ICC CEO, was far worse- Malcolm Speed 's nasty comments don't exactly inspire any confidence about his leadership skills and people from the subcontinent are bound to view Malcolm Speed , as more of a representative of England & Australia cricket boards


A CEO needs to be at least seen to be bi-partisan, but Malcolm Speed 's nasty comments about India did let the cat out of the bag about his biased views


Goodbye and good riddance to Malcolm Speed, his seven years as ICC CEO, have resulted in the ICC organization being reduced to a toothless organization, viewed with suspicion by every cricket playing country of the cricket world

Malcolm Speed,ICC cricket,Mickey Arthur so hypocritical!


Malcolm Speed and Mickey Arthur shoot themselves in the foot


Malcolm Speed , the ICC and the South Africa cricket coach Mickey Arthur are incredibly hypocritical.


Reports suggest that on the basis of Mickey Arthur's protest, the ICC, led by Malcolm Speed, has asked the BCCI for an explanation for the spinning track prepared for the Kanpur cricket test match , which ended in three days


Mickey Arthur, the South African cricket coach, is simply not grateful for the "South African cricket pitch" provided at Ahmedabad


Why is Mickey Arthur, the South African cricket coach and the ICC not asking for an explanation for the pitch for the Ahmedabad test match which also ended in three days


The fast and green Ahmedabad cricket match was simply a gift given by the pitch curators to the South African cricket team, but Mickey Arthur is simple not grateful


No country will be as stupid as to provide a cricket pitch that is favorable to the opposing cricket team, but the pitch curators at Ahmedabad managed to do just that


The Ahmedabad cricket pitch was tailor made for the South African cricket team's fast bowlers and not surprisingly, the South African cricket easily won the Ahmedabad cricket test


Is the ICC ask forl a spinning track to be prepared at the Centurion Park or at Perth?


The ICC's comments on the pitch for the Kanpur cricket test sparks of such hypocricy- has Malcolm Speed's ICC or Mickey Arthur ever asked the Australian cricket board for an explanation for the fast cricket pitch at Perth or Centurion Park?


Why should a spinning track be unfriendly, but a green top like Perth be fair?The ICC, led by Malcolm Speed,is plain stupid and biased


The ICC should be dismantled as soon as possible- the ICC 's decisions are really biased against the subcontinent


The Oval fiasco and the reinstatement of Darrell Hair is another slap in the face for the subcontinent, and it is high time the Asian cricket boards support each other in the face of such blatant bias against them


Malcolm Speed, the ICC and Mickey Arthur should refrain from stupid statements that display jealousy about the BCCI 's monetary influence over world cricket
