Hi there folks,

The Black Caps, which are the New Zealand cricket team, are planning a tour to Zimbabwe later this year. If any of you feel you can, go to http://www.saynotozimtour.com/index.asp to sign a petition to stop them touring. this might remind you about the Springbok tours of 1981.

LOL, yeah, and I sort of agree with you, if we were talking about the same thing.

You're talking about worrying whether the Black Caps might get hurt; obviously, I don't want them injured or anything, but that's not my concern. My concern is the other people in Zimbabwe, and the support for a regime that I don't think we should be condoning, or appearing to condone, as a country.

I actually dont care if they get hurt or not frankly, if thay go that is, if they don't then I'll set aside my intence dislike of cricket and say good job.

*wry* Well, every life is important. Even George Bush's. Comparatively, Daniel Vettori is like a saint, so yeah, him dying would be uncool. :P It also wouldn't be his fault- they're all under contract and they need their jobs. it's up to the cricketing committee or association or whatever. And they won't because they don't want to pay the fine to the ICA. :-/

yea but you see, from my point of view they should just refuse to pay the fin as its really the ICC thats being bad by insisting they go. And if they get kicked out, It'l just mean more time and money for things other than cricket.

Yeah, but this is the New Zealand Cricketing authority or whatever, I think cricketing is kind of the point!!!!!! :P Also, yeah, but they want to be able to play against other nations too which without the approval of the ICC they probably won't be able to do unless there's support.

I agree with you. But. :P
