#ZCBOARD MUST GO

[brmtaylor.com admin]

It's been a fun ride.

The ICC can't dictate to a country how its laws are interpreted, and Mlotshwa and co will look weak as all hell if they back down after this.

So this will be the end.

We are doomed

Yes, that is atrocious from ICC. But not shocked at all. SRC will become the laughing stock irrespective of the intent. This is the end.

Well lads, it's been fun. ICC has essentially fucked us over by allowing these thugs and criminals to continue and further more by dictating that no outside influence occur, means Mukhulani can do what he wants whenever he wants without accountability.

Guess this forums dies too.

Anyone got that contact for the ICC, I want to send all the boards a very strongly worded letter. Infact, I'm contacting Cricket Australia soon.

Looking at Ireland steamrolling England and Lord's at the moment... it's a world of difference.

Maybe 1980-2020 was Zimbabwe's era and it just died a natural death (as Googly always says, whether it's today or in 3 years when most of the players retire does it really make a difference). And 2020-???? will be the era of Ireland and Afghanistan.

That was supposed to be Zimbabwe playing that Test. England dodged a bullet there.

The first full member to die. Sad stuff.

I'm assuming the SRC won't be backing down?

There's only one card left to play, and that's to take the matter to the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
A successful appeal there is the only way cricket doesn't die now.

Well. It might not be what we want but for me personally i dont want to see cricket die. I think the ICC is probably thinking that they drip feed the funds anyway now and audit themselves. Theft is not easy now.

The election procedure is the only place you can ambush these guys. Thats the reality.

That would be a great way to upset the ICC even more by going down this route

That Zim cricket is dying has nothing to do with ICC - but entirely due to those who have run Zim cricket

I also don't want to see cricket die in Zimbabwe, there is a difference between having good intentions but understanding the situation and having good intensions but being Bull headed/stubborn.

Anyways ICC have made things crystal clear, now the Zimbabweans can decide what they want to do.

Such a shame that the whole world is playing cricket and Zim is always talking about off field affairs. Look at Ireland, even they didn't qualify for WC finished even below Zimbabwe, but look how they didn't let that hamper them, and see them now.

Ok another twist in the saga. SRC have responded.

Basically they’re saying that the ICC letter is addressed to Mukhulani directly so the onus is on him to get the board reinstated and to promise no further government interference. It’s semantics but reading between the lines they’re probably saying “ain’t gonna happen with you at the helm and you’ll probably need fresh elections!”

That’s how I immediately interpret it. That may change as this unfolds.
