Oh yeah Rhodesia?? Tell you what Zimbabwe won the independence in 1980, so its no more called Rhodesia.

What about the rampant barbarism and butchery? Anyway, evil can only triumph when good people do nothing. That monster of a president should be over-thrown!

Let's see some more condemnation from that country's black population then.

Dude, you have some good things to say from what I have seen in the Players Lounge, but you are building a bridge too far from this comment. There is plenty of opposition from the 'black' population in Zimbabwe. The media only focuses on the attacks on white landowners, but they are not the ones bearing the brunt of Mugabes regime, it is the democratic black opposition. Their leaders are imprisoned or killed, their supporters forced to starve, beaten up and/ or killed, the women raped etc. etc. THe opposition black media is closed down and terrorised, with then only 'independent' paper having to operate from London. They are suffering way more than the whites ever will. The sector of the population committing the crimes in Mugabes name are the so-called 'war veterans', from the fight for independence. To say there needs to be more condemnation from the black population is to completely misjudge what is actually happening there. Take a look around the BBC website.

I don't like the idea of a test series cup. But i think that the "minnows" should be given more chances like in South Africa in 2003, i loved that world cup and i hope it expands to include some more teams to raise the profile and skill of the nations team. Although i admit cricket will never be a global sport like football but it is a fantastic game to play and watch!
