ICC chief revels in end of Aussie domination

MELBOURNE: The end of Australia's domination makes cricket more interesting, feels ICC CEO Haroon Lorgat who can claim some credit for the world champions' downfall in the ongoing Test series here.
"It's always a lot more interesting for the public if there's one, two, three teams in fact competing for the No.1 spot," Lorgat told the Sydney Morning Herald.Lorgat can take some credit for the Proteas' feat as he was the one who gave breaks to Hashim Amla, Ashwell Prince, Dale Steyn and A B de Villiers during his stint as selector in Cricket South Africa.
Lorgat recalled facing stiff opposition when he pushed the quartet's case. "There was a lot more fuss about the black players, so the likes of Amla and Prince, they were seriously questioned. There were also some serious issues around A B de Villiers.
Dale Steyn was also introduced in my time. Thankfully all of them have come through and more than deserve their place in the team. It's a pleasing part when it all comes through and it works out," he said.
