Bishan Singh Bedi, who has campaigned long and hard for the cleaning up of Indian cricket &ndash; in other words &ndash; transparency from the Board of Control for Cricket in India, has said that the establishment can still make amends and free Indian cricket from embarrassment.
&shy;The former captain, who was recently not invited to witness India's 500th Test at Kanpur, told mid-day from New Delhi: "The BCCI still have an opportunity to redeem itself. There is no need to sit on a pedestal. They must bend for the sake of cricket. Clean up your act and do so nicely."

Bedi was not surprised at the Supreme Court's strong response to the BCCI taking decisions at their recent Annual General Meeting which completely breached the Lodha Committee's recommendations. "This had to happen. Supreme Court could not have taken things lying down. What has annoyed me in all this is BCCI and ICC fighting in the open. Both organisations are headed by Indians and India has been made a laughing stock," he said.

Bedi called for a honest 'we blundered' admission from the BCCI. "I've known better administrators like M Chidambaram and M Chinnaswamy (both late presidents) who would never had allowed the BCCI to reach this situation. It would never have come to pass. But the current lot of administrators are too misguided by the moolah. To what extent can you bully everybody and the Supreme Court of all things? The BCCI have lost their balance and direction," concluded Bedi.
