West Coast midfielder Chris Masten rejects any suggestion the clubs shock finals loss to the Western Bulldogs was linked to this years controversial bye after the regular season ended.The Eagles stormed home to win nine out of their final 10 matches including wins against highly ranked Hawthorn, Greater Western Sydney and Adelaide, the latter two away.The Bulldogs went into Thursday nights elimination final after a loss to lowly Fremantle in Perth and mixed end to the year.I dont buy that momentum thing. All a couple of extra days can do is freshen a few blokes up, Masten told AAP.We got some blokes to play that we wouldnt have (without the bye) - they probably did as well.The 27-year-old, who had 10 kicks and 14 handballs in his 161st game, said he was unhappy with how he played.He felt the players had trained well leading into the match after finding form in the final two months of the home and away season.We were up and down this year but I think the way we finished off the year was pretty good ... we felt like our best could beat anyone, Masten said.We expect to play really deep in finals and push for a grand final but we havent done that.We played below what we know were capable of and its going to be a really tough pill to swallow over a long summer.He said the Eagles were unable to handle the Bulldogs playing a flicking it around, high-paced, high-octane run gun footy that they knew was their style.We just didnt rock up ... and the Bulldogs were very good, he said.They were cleaner, better in the contest, we were beaten in pretty much every area on the ground.You are not going to get close when the game is like that.

The Mudgal Report has admonished CK Khanna, vice-president of the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) since 1982, saying his pernicious influence is responsible for the major ills of the premier state association. The remarks about Khanna are doubly concerning because he is also the vice-president of the BCCI from the central zone.The major ills of the DDCA can be traced to a long-serving vice-president of DDCA, the Mudgal report, which was submitted in Delhi High Court on Monday, said. The report was prepared by Justice Mukul Mudgal, the former chief justice of Punjab and Haryana High Court, who was appointed this February to oversee the conduct of matches at Feroz Shah Kotla during the World T20 and IPL, between March and May.While he highlighted in detail the various problems that have plagued the DDCA for many years now, Mudgal reserved his sternest words for Khanna. It was seen during my tenure that there is no transparency or accountability in the functioning of the some senior office bearers of DDCA, the report said. The most pernicious influence affecting DDCAs administration is the ever-present Mr CK Khanna, who is the vice-president of DDCA for several years and also happens to be the vice-president of BCCI, though from the central zone. He controls a large number of proxies and, accordingly, has a strong hold in DDCA.The proxies, Mudgal pointed out in the report, are the thousands of members of DDCA who are given one complimentary pass for every match conducted at Feroz Shah Kotla. The only purpose these members serve, he said, is that of voting during the DDCA executive committee elections.In his conclusions, Mudgal noted that the proxy system is the bane of Delhi cricket and subject to other legal requirements deserves to be jettisoned. Mudgal said the list of these few thousand members, acting as proxies, needed to be properly scrutinised.According to Mudgal the complimentary tickets and passes are a bone of contention between various office bearers, executive committee members and other authorities at the DDCA. And it was here Khanna used his influence to get as many complimentary passes as he could. He excels in at evading responsibility and claiming ccredit for an achievement by someone else, Mudgal noted.dddddddddddd His paramount interests are peddling of complimentaries to gain favours and satisfy his proxy interests, and mounting the dais repeatedly for presentations. He craves for every photo opportunity.Mr Khanna has not the slightest interest in promotion of cricket in Delhi and his sole occupation is the traction obtained by complimentaries to his proxies and various authorities. He specialises in using his proxy power from behind the scenes and always avoids putting his signature on any document to avoid any responsibility. He is very efficient at securing complimentaries for the avowed purpose of giving to various licensing/sanctioning authorities and diverting some of them for his own benefit.According to the report, a clear case of conflict of interest could be established against Khanna, who had three relatives serving at DDCA. He has planted his relatives in various positions in DDCA, for example a) Mr Anil Khanna, General Secretary (first cousin) b) Ravi Khanna, Patron (brother) c) Vivek Gupta, Joint Secretary (wifes first cousin). This is clear case of conflict of interest.The report highlighted the downward course taken by Delhi cricket in the Ranji Trophy. It argued that if Delhi is to regain its pre-eminence in domestic cricket, Khanna has to leave the DDCA. Mr CK Khanna is present throughout working hours in DDCA. His supporters who keep him in power are only interested in complimentaries and free food and liquor during matches. Mr CK Khanna is one person whose latent actions along with his proxy-controlled acolytes have brought down the reputation of DDCA. Delhi, which has given several great cricketers to the Indian team, including the present Test captain, now languishes in the second tier of Ranji Trophy. All those who want to work only in the interests of betterment of cricket are hampered and prevented at every stage by the influence of CK Khanna. A restoration of Delhi cricket to its erstwhile glory may not be possible with Mr CK Khanna controlling the affairs of DDCA. ' ' '
