Suresh Menon, in his column for the Hindu, discusses the factors and solutions to the impasse between an immovable body and an irresistible force as the BCCI looks to wriggle out some breathing room amid the Supreme Courts vigilant supervision.The BCCI has been ignoring the Supreme Court deadlines with an arrant disregard for propriety or legality. The Supreme Court has been getting into the nuts and bolts of administration and laying itself open to charges of judicial overreach. The cricket board has some genuine issues but in choosing hubris over humility, it has thrown the system into turmoil.ddddddddddddThe BCCI has no one to blame but itself. When it was still possible to explain its position to the Lodha Committee, it assumed a divine right to administration. The combination of inaction and arrogance upset the Committee. ' ' '
