Well, don't they have anything else to do or think of? Yes, there are political issues, but these cricket related rants have now reached childish levels.

Key word: former. Kate Hoey's a bit of a fringe politician who no-one listens to any longer. Influence: zero.

Is this a recent report coz tht last time I check Murambatsvina was like 2 years ago and people have all but forgotten about it. Infact because of that some people are now house owners instead of squatters. Were did she shot this video of the "government’s destruction of homes" I wonder. But the good thing though India have always stood by Zimbabwe I doubt if they would boycott. I guess some of these politicians should take a page out the France Prime Minister's book. Who said they will not get into sports issues with regards to Henry hand ball against Ireland in the World Cup qualifier.

Look, I think around 2003 a cricket boycott had or would have had its maximum impact. Now, cricket has sufficiently disengaged from politics, and boycotting cricket is akin to boycotting Coltart ...
