"The ICC keeps reminding us (BCCI) that we need to be more professional in our functioning. But the entire world has seen the way the World Cup final was conducted. May be the problem is they (ICC) are too professional (for their own good)," said BCCI Secretary Niranjan Shah from London.

Shah witnessed first hand the farcical ending of the final on a rain-ruined day when five ICC-appointed and contracted officials could not decipher the rules governing a truncated ODI that resulted in the match continuing well after it should have been declared in Australia's favour.

Shah reiterated that the BCCI might take up the matter of taking to task the ICC's officials, especially its Chief Executive Malcolm Speed, at next month's meeting in London.

"I did say to the Australian reporter that the ICC has too many employees and is tied down by bureaucracy," he said.
