Why wouldnt they if they are supposed to? You can get sued if you break a bilateral agreement. Look at what happened when the West Indies didnt pitch up in India. Unless the Aussies are willing to pay us a couple of million dollars so that they dont come all because Heath Streak got fired.
What they will probably do is send a really weak team but that all depends on who takes over. We cant tell how the world will react until we see who the new coach or captain is. If BT takes over as captain for example is that really a bad decision? Thats where the key to all these complaints is.
They werent touring because of political instability not because of the player walkout in 2004 etc. They dont care as much as people think. If BT accepts the captaincy and they miraculously find an international standard coach then all the noise will go away as far as im concerned. These guys are kings of manipulation.
Australia just cancelled their home series v BD because they couldn't get a sponsor lol so with a piss poor excuse like that I'm sure they can get away with it, plus the Dogs at ZC will happily take a few thousand each as compensation for the Aussie no show
Two T20Is. What the hell. Even if we win both, we have about a 1% chance. And there's a chance of them not even being there. Raza captain for T20 makes the most sense. Hammy is on his last life and so is Ervine. I'm just frustrated with ZC. A T20 series surely would help even if against Pakistan or Australia. Hell, I'll have an Afghanistan series even!
What Ervine in a T20 team? That would never do. If the board is really serious about the game then we definitely need to get our domestic cricket back on its feet.
CHRISTOPHER MPOFU: 'The problem was fear of failure. I used to think that when I played, if I didn't do well in one game, I would lose my place for the next one but now I've let go of that'
So whats the schedule exactly for Australia and Pakistan? I havent seen it
Even before the West Indies game the Aussies had pulled out of the tri series with us and Pakistan.
Pakistan don't really want to pitch up but they owe us. Although i hear they may reschedule.
T20I tri-series in Zimbabwe
Sunday, July 1: Zimbabwe vs Pakistan
Monday, July 2: Pakistan vs Australia
Tuesday, July 3: Australia vs Zimbabwe
Wednesday, July 4: Zimbabwe vs Pakistan
Thursday, July 5: Pakistan vs Australia
Friday, July 6: Australia vs Zimbabwe
Sunday, July 8: Final
Winning all our games (Pak and Aus are ranking 1 and 2) will certainly help our T20I ranking.
As per latest ICC T20 Rankings, Afghanistan is at 8 after 3-0 white wash to Bangladesh in the recent series and have more upcomming T20 games and are definately in the move to qualify for World T20 without playing the qualifiers . Scotland is just above Zimbabwe after emerging as the winner of tri nation T20 series that involved Netherlands who are slotted to 14th rank and Ireland at 17th after getting white washed by India.
Zimbabwe are still at 12 as they failed to manage even a single win against Pakistan and Australia tri nation series.As per remaining games till cut off date, Zimbabwe has just 3 t20s against the proteas, as a chance to qualify the World T20 directly and avoid the qualifiers
