Overshadowing the news of Brett Lee's busted ribs, which leaves Australia's chances of retaining the Ashes in "deep poop", is today's announcement that Vanuatu has been elevated to Associate membership of the ICC. The elevation of Vanuatu lifts it to the second tier of ICC membership and it becomes the 35th Associate Member of the game's global governing body. The ICC also has 10 Full Members and now 59 Affiliates.
Wickman Junior is already imaging the scene now: Port Vila stadium. Vanuatu vs England and Australia in a triangular series. I'm telling you that there would be a lot of people fearing a trip into this unknown. Forget Calypso cricket....this is the new island force.
Just on another note, i'd recommend ever those interested in the future of our game visiting the ICC website to look at the other nations involved with cricket. I can't wait for the day when a side is sent to Rwanda - that will be the future...
