Shah Rukh Khan and Sunil Shetty are off to Sri Lanka, to do what i have no idea.
Those bollywood boys aren't good for much.

I also doubt that the humanity would've been of very good quality had they stayed

ID, I know that is the received wisdom, but it is not borne out by the facts. The BCCI is not the richest cricketing board. For more details, please refer to these posts: India's Cricket Finances - BBC Article Inaccuracies

Oh!Im sorry abt that.Ive just read it in so many news articles so i thought it was true.Many prestigious newspapers over here like India Times,the Hindu,etc. and cricket related websites have reported the BCCI to be the world's richest cricket board and one of the world's richest sports bodies.

What is the richest cricket board then M? I know it ain't Cricket Australia cos they're a non for profit organisation, and I'd think the ECB would be the same. If it aint the Board of Control for Cricket in India, I'd think it would be Zimbabwe Cricket.
