only the BCCI would do that

ECB says 20 is too little and demands that England's 20 overs should be broken down into 5 lots of 5 overs, with all 'out' batsmen reinstated for the next block of 5 overs. "we need the extra 5 overs to give us a fighting chance of posting a decent 20 over score" said an ECB spokesman

The CA/BCCI members of the triumvirate agree, because they know that their players could chase down in 20 overs any total that England could post in 25.

Alistair Cook gets sacked as England captain, KP lobbies for position as captain/coach.

The England cricket team sack their cook and hire a new one to help them put a bit of fire in the bellies of the England players.

Peter Moores reappointed as England Head Coach, ECB confirm the reappointment would not have been made if Kevin Pietersen was still in the team.

As a smokescreen from the recent controversy, the ECB end the international career of Jade Dernbach.

Resident poster Aidan11 sues ECB, claiming it was his idea...

Pietersen signs for the Melbourne Stars in the 2014-5 Big Bash League.

Stars drop Malinga, White, Wright, Maxwell, Dussey, Hodge, Faulkner, Bird, but not Wade, to fit him into the salary cap.

KP signs with the Chennai Superkings, and his new best friend and texting buddy MSD gets him a job as consultant for India's upcoming tour of England.
