Cricket South Africa has taken strong exception to a comment made by ICC chief executive David Richardson during his recent visit to Sri Lanka, where he said the Big-Three takeover of the ICC in 2014 was partly due to the inability of CSA - among other boards - to stand up to India, England and Australia.If he is indeed correctly quoted, his remarks come as a complete shock to us, CSA chief executive, Haroon Lorgat said in a statement. For someone who was actually party to the 2014 resolutions to now make such a disparaging remark to CSA is frankly nonsense and insulting to us.The CSA Board had from the very outset realised how damaging the original proposals would have been to the global growth of the game and together with Pakistan and Sri Lanka had strongly opposed it. This included CSA making a significant written submission to the ICC Board which had resulted in a number of the original proposals being amended. Thats in fact the reason why we are where we are now. The CSA Board will always stand up for what it believes to be right for the game.While in Sri Lanka, Richardson had said during a press conference: The international game has gone through a period of turbulence, where the governance, the financial model, the playing [of the game] was in turmoil by the resolutions passed by the ICC in 2014 […] what happened in 2014 took place really because unfortunately countries like South Africa, Sri Lanka and New Zealand were not able to stand up to the big boys. I dont think that will happen again.CSA said its president would take up the matter with the ICC chairman Shashank Manohar.In 2014, the ICC had radically restructured its governance and revenue distribution system following a campaign by CA, BCCI and ECB, which led to greater executive and financial clout in the hands of these three boards. The proposals initially caught the other Full Members off-guard and four boards opposed the amendments. CSA was one objector but eventually came on board. The constitutional amendments required to put the new structure in place were eventually approved of during the ICCs 2014 Annual Conference.However, after Manohar succeeded N Srinivasan as ICC chairman, and then got elected as the governing bodys first independent chairman who wasnt affiliated to a Full Member board, he spoke of ending the Big Threes bullying of the other boards and a return to a more equitable distribution of power and revenue in the ICC.Tony Dorsett Jersey . While hell be dialed in to that tournament on a course he loves, you can forgive him if his eyes glance down the calendar just a bit, towards April. Michael Gallup Cowboys Jersey .Y. -- Injured Buffalo Sabres forward Marcus Foligno did not practice with the team Monday and head coach Ron Rolston said its unlikely hell play in Wednesdays season opener in Detroit. https://www.cowboyssportsgoods.com/Womens-Darren-Woodson-Inverted-Jersey/ . Giroud, who wasnt in the starting lineup for two matches after allegations about his private life and a decline in form, scored twice in the first half. Tomas Rosickys chip made it 3-0 before half time at Emirates Stadium, while defender Laurent Koscielny scored an unmarked header in the second half.

Aaron Harrison scored a 22 points for Kentucky (6-1), which has won four in a row following a Nov. 12 loss to current No. 1 Michigan State. Julius Randle overcame a scoreless first half and added his sixth double-double in as many games with 14 points and 10 rebounds.Calculations will be relegated to the back of NSW Swifts coach Rob Wrights mind, as his Australian conference-leading side strive to stay top after this weekends final round of the trans-Tasman netball competition.The Swifts go into their home game on Saturday against the unbeaten New Zealand conference-leading Southern Steel, heading defending champions Queensland Firebirds in the Australian section only on percentage.A loss or narrow victory over the Steel would leave the door open for the Firebirds to steal top spot in Australia and have a week off and host a conference final the following week.The Swifts have a 29 goal better for-and-against than the Firebirds giving them a four per cent lead over the Queensland side.The Firebirds host third-placed Australian conference team West Coast Fever on Sunday, by which time they will know exactly what they need to do to leapfrog NSW.It probably puts Firebirds in a great position to know, if were good enough to win, how much they need to win by, Wright told AAP.ddddddddddddThe Steel havent lost a game so winning against them is going to be tough enough.We wont worry about the score. Clearly, we want to try and win by as much as we can, if we can, but our only priority will be trying to win the match.Wright will continue to manage the playing time of his captain and super important midcourter Kimberlee Green, who played half a game last weekend after missing the Swifts three previous games with a knee issue.Well continue to try and build her back in, time-wise. Im not quite sure how much time well get out of her, Wright said.Star shooter Caitlin Thwaites is likely to start against the Steel after playing just the final quarter last week, when Wright tinkered with his attack end.
