INDIAN authorities are holding the international cricket community to ransom.

In their latest affront to the International Cricket Council, they have withdrawn the names of the 30 cricketers they belatedly submitted for participation at the World Cup in southern Africa starting in 47 days.

Here's a novel solution, tell the Indian cricket authorities to piss off. Kick them out of the tournament and ban them from world cricket for a year, i'm sure the Pakistani's will vote for it at least.

And who will replace them in the World Cup? I vote to give their spot to the Steve Waugh Whingeathon XI, a team for players who won't shut the hell up about being dropped. He can take brother Mark, Dean Jones, Michael Slater, Ian Healy, Damien Fleming and, just because he expresses his displeasure by killing English tailenders, Brett Lee.

It's harsh but fair.
