ECB sever ties with Zimbabwe cricket

Nice one ECB. Good of you to wait of course until South Africa have already done it. Nothing like making the right move only after someone else has. At least you were second and not last. However its a risky strategy. We now only have Bangladesh who we are capable of beating in one day cricket. It could be years before we get to play them again...

But at least they have acted. Cricket fans all over England will rejoice that they will not waste their hard earned watching the worst team in the world get absolutely hammered by the team that is not quite as bad as them. Freezing one's extremities off in May while watching that shower parade around would be just about unbearable. Wickman wonders what other international cricket team will be avaialable to tour then with most of the world's best players in India...

There's no doubt that the quiet revolution of cricket in Holland should mean their team is worth a go.

Perhaps even Kenya or Ireland could make the journey. I see this as a real boone for cricket.

Good news story
