Else on every other account they have been proved to be a better than most of us. A point in proof is the technological marvels in our country, the shambles we are in post independence and the moral and political bankruptcy we are facing these days. But being an Indian I would love to see someone from underpriviledged country to head that spot. Its time we give the dues to them as well as show our sincereity in developing cricket. The problems in Indian cricket system is not only present in India and to be honest barring CA (cricket australia) none other has really invested in the game other than on those occassions when return is handsome or guaranteed. I guess, Powar or no Powar its not going to make much of a difference but we need a competent and able administrator at the helm. If that person is from UK or AUS then I am ready to take him with that pinch of salt for the betterment of the game worldwide.

Pawar is a politician to the core... How he moved away from congress on Sonia issue and how he again came to form the UPA is a testimony to the fact that his politician index is high.. Having said that I really don't know anything about David Morgan... we need to compare both of them before rejecting Pawar ! Well said Madhav da…

Well, I guess Pawar has not been able to shed his politician's garb! So, you hear lotsa noise and no work ! yep…true…hate to put it that way, but really the snootiness of Brits in some matters propels that kind of a reaction…in a completely insane atmosphere it is very difficult and could be injudicious to be sane.

Pawar has made a lot of noise - promises, skirmishes et al - but unfortunately has little to show in terms of achievement. Hence, the "inept administrator" tag. As for the comment on the "British upstart mentality", that's at best xenophobic, at worst racist.

But agree that he has not achieved much in terms of other parameters like upgrading cricket infrastructure and some others you have pointed out. If its him vs anyone from ECB, then anyday Pawar. I cannot stand that British upstart mentality. But from cricketing perspective, I agree with your opinion. Pawar for the moment has too much on his plate. More than what he can handle.
