The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has trashed the former Australian Captain Ian Chappell’s suggestion on the scheduling of India-Australia ODI series, saying the board is not bothered about personal opinions. Former Australian Captain Ian Chappell has called the forth-coming India-Australia 7-ODI series ‘ridiculous’ and ‘a money making exercise’. It is also indicated by sources within the BCCI that they did not need an ‘ill advice’ to run Indian cricket. The former Aussie great who's a cricket commentator and expert is unhappy with the timing and scheduling of the series as a whole and has termed it more a money making affair than a big cricket rivalry. Ian, like his brother Greg is famous for his verbal barrage and had recently even rated Australian captain Rickey Ponting ahead of Sachin Tendulkar in international cricket. Former Australian batsman Dean Jones is of the opinion that India should have rather played a tri-series with Australia that a 7-ODI bilateral series.
