Hear, hear!

And here's another reason for putting Zimbabwe on a "no contact" list, posted earlier today. Until this crap stops, the world should shun them completely. Link to thread "Secret police to investigate logo change".

However, we have had to pay for it...But this quote confuses me..

Quote:
The figure is in line with International Cricket Council guidelines for compensation between countries, at US$125,000 per Test.
I am sure before the series we were told that pulling out would "Bankrupt" the ECB, with additional fines and possible suspension....

But here we are told that by paying $125,000 per Test you can happily pull out of the series, a figure that according to Morgan "was Budgeted for" why were told that pulling out of the Zim tour would bankrupt the ECB!!

Just read the same in The Guardian, FF, and I confess to being as confused as you are. Methinks someone speaks somewhere with forked tongue.

Even though we didn't pay for the ODI that was cancelled, the ZCU tried to make us pay compensation for it. What a cheek
