Zimbabwe

I have thought about the Australian Cricket tour to Zimbabwe since the Australian Government announced its ban and have come to the conclusion that they have it right. Sadly it is at the expense of my favourite sport (and Johnnie's), but something had to be done. It is patently obvious that the ICC (Ineffectual Cadre of Cretins) have no intention of doing ANYTHING, EVER. They seem to think that the World Cup is over they can sit back an rest until the next one. Then again, maybe their indolence is not such a bad thing when you consider the last actions they took was to sack Darrell Hair for upholding the rules of the game and, coincidentally, reinstate Zimbabwe as a Test playing nation (which way did Zimbabwe vote, I wonder?).

The problems in Zimbabwe go way beyound cricket, this may not even be a blip on the radar there. That any country in this day and age has an average life expectancy of 36 defies belief.
