Its late here, so I'll answer this bit quickly.

There's no 'now' about it Seamer. I've known about the problem as long as you have, I'm sure. In fact, I wrote an article on this as soon as Aus/NZ failed to get the World Cup in line with the previous schedule.

However, unless you want a schizm within the game of cricket, I don't think there's much one (or even a group) can do about it; whatever 'it' may be. The hierarchy of the game needs to understand that one party dictating how the game is run wasn't right when the MCC was doing it, and won't be right if another 3rd party ends up running it.
