So, Nasser Hussain and the English side are now assured that no harm will befall them from hoards of starving and tortured malcontents should they play cricket in Zimbabwe. What a releif this must be for England's captain and the avaricious mental dwarfs he calls a team.
The only gain in playing cricket in Zimbabwe is a major political coup by Muthugbe's regime - oh, and the loot trousered by our wonderful sportsmen and the Cricketing authorities who call the shots. Should the English team actually discover they have a conscience (or at least disbeleive they won't be at risk if they play in Zimbabwe) then they'll find themselves in a win-win situation. Finding their moral backbone will increase their popularity back home (let's face it, it can't get any worse!). And what if they lose a few points by boycotting the game - they're shit at playing cricket anyway and stand no real chance of winning the tournament. I suggest they blame their failure on "fair play" rather than on the fact that they are a bunch of completely useless twats. They might even fool the press into hailing them as heroes.
