The Masters must've thought the money at stake is too lucrative to continue indulging in such kind of grumpy politics. Of course, they had imposed some pre-conditions that included making the 'handshake' a mandatory protocol, but the ICC looked the other way.

Well Vinayak, Thanks. Sidebar of a blog has to be decorated with links, info, ads and more. Please point out if any of those looks offensive for you. I think most of them suit the look and color combination of the blog.
