Calcutta, March 9 :     Pakistan?s ultra-generous approach at the Gaddafi, in the Asian Test Championship game versus Sri Lanka, is set to be flayed at the next Asian Cricket Council (ACC) meeting. Only, that could be some months away. No meeting has been scheduled during the Championship final, in Dhaka from Friday, and so the ACC?s AGM, which precedes the International Cricket Council?s (ICC?s) annual conclave, in June, could see the Pakistan-bashing in full swing. The lead, obviously, will have to be taken by India. Not only because Pakistan made sure India wouldn?t make the final, but because India had pressed most for this tournament. Of course, the manipulation was done within the laws, but with total disregard for the spirit of the game. Expectedly, surprise ?- even anger ?- in these parts, has greeted the ACC?s complete silence. But, really, that shouldn?t raise many eyebrows: All the top office-bearers, after all, are from Lanka, the team which gained hundred per cent from Pakistan?s unbelievably charitable play. The Lankans may not have been too enthused by the first-ever Championship, initially, but they?ve certainly got fired up now. A big pointer is that Aravinda de Silva and Chaminda Vaas have returned. The supreme irony will be if Lanka put it across Pakistan, in the final. But even if the ACC, the tournament-organiser, has been silent, Wasim Akram and Javed Miandad have been defending the indefensible. It?s actually been pathetic and one awaits Match Referee Cammie Smith?s report. One hopes Smith needs no reminding that the Code of Conduct begins with the very specific: ?The captains are responsible at all times for ensuring that play is conducted within the spirit of the game as well as within the laws.? Just as pathetic has been wholehearted support for the (flawed) tournament rules by somebody of Duleep Mendis? stature. But, having had a big hand in drawing the rules, it would be awkward for the Tournament Director to be critical. It?s important, then, that somebody bells the cat. India should be doing so, within the ACC. On a much wider canvas, the onus is on Smith. Meanwhile, speaking to The Telegraph this afternoon, ICC president Jagmohan Dalmiya, who is pitching for a World Test Championship, acknowledged there have been ?teething problems? and that future editions ?could be run differently.? Dalmiya, who has been closely associated with this Asian venture, is choosing words carefully. Understandable. Sooner rather than later, though, he?ll have to go on the front foot to ensure that the damage authored at the Gaddafi isn?t permanent. Clearly, something potentially exciting ought not to collapse at the first experiment itself. Even if the start has been controversial.
