ICC on a sticky wicket over India's dodgy pitch escape

Proteas' fans feel aggrieved even though the BCCI has been given a slap on the wrist for their poor sportsmanship in manufacturing a drawn series against South Africa recently.
The ICC warned the BCCI over sub-standard pitch preparations in Kanpur where the Indians came back against the South African subdued powerhouse.
The South African fans' discontent is based on, as ever, the exposure and effect of a reprimand versus the effect of this unsporting incident within the bigger picture of their team's progress in 2008.
