#ZCBOARD MUST GO

[Googly]

I wonder if they’re in the meeting?
I’d be surprised if we hear the outcome today, they will probably deliberate for a while
That’s what they do here, gives the well wishers timento scrape some money together for coke and buns.

Sydney is full of beaches, Bondi is crowded and I never go there. There are plenty of options north and south

Yeah, to be fair, there are some nice beaches in NSW, just never seen the appeal about Bondi. It's so overrated.

Ive never physically set foot in Bris, so take it with a grain of salt,although i was in a role that required a great working knowledge of its localities. but i cant see any real appeal of the place?

Firstly, there isnt a real beach to speak of.
Secondly, all the houses look ugly, old and the place has a real rural feel to it.

Sure it has the big backyard, bbq and a dog lifestyle, but it does seem a bit hick for a big city. Alot of trashy types. Girls with tramp stamp tatts and that, islanders and aboriginies walking around in NRL shorts and singlet kicking cans. That kind of thing.

And salaries are lower.

Firstly, no one said there is a beach in Brisbane, we said the beach is just 30 minutes from Brisbane. Talking about the Gold Coast which I assure you is a real beach.

Secondly, you're thinking of Logan, totally different city.

It depends on the lifestyle you like. I like the Newstead, New Farm, South Brisbane, South Bank area and surrounds. Has some really nice areas there that appeal to the city life or more urban cultural feel. No NRL short and singlet kicking cans type. Not trashy.

I could find heaps of trashy people in Sydney or Melbourne too but i wouldn't generalise, all just depends on where you are going.

The introduction of concussion replacements and a change to over-rate punishments were two of the major decisions made at the ICC Annual Conference in London, where the headline was the decision to suspend Zimbabwe Cricket with immediate effect.

The ICC Board unanimously decided that the Full Member had failed to fulfil their obligation to provide a process for free and democratic elections and to ensure that there is no government interference in its administration for cricket.

ICC funding will be suspended, and representative teams from the country will be barred from participating at ICC events, putting their participation in October’s Men’s T20 World Cup Qualifier in jeopardy.

“We do not take the decision to suspend a Member lightly, but we must keep our sport free from political interference,” said ICC chairman Shashank Manohar. “What has happened in Zimbabwe is a serious breach of the ICC Constitution and we cannot allow it to continue unchecked. The ICC wants cricket to continue in Zimbabwe in accordance with the ICC Constitution.”

Concussion replacements will also be introduced following successful trials in domestic cricket. The player will need to be a like-for-like substitute, and any such switch will need to be approved by the Match Referee. The change will come into effect from 1 August, meaning the first game for which they will be in play will be the first men's Ashes Test at Edgbaston.

Also significant is an alteration to punishments for maintaining a slow over-rate. Captains will no longer face suspension, but players face point deductions in the ICC Test Championship for breaches.

Oh! dear The ICC have had enough of this, Zimbabwe Cricket is suspended.

Feel sad for the players and fans. However, considering the mess ZC was in, this was inevitable. ICC doesn't care really, Ireland, Afghanistan, Scotland, Netherlands, there are enough countries to take Zimbabwe's place. I feel sad as a fan though. Very sad.

I don't know what is next now for ZC? How do they bounce back from this? What steps do they need to take?

[saifulsohel05]

Very sad.

[sam_ahm]

Surely the SRC must have had a plan B... Or they didn't?

Feel devestated for the players and fans, what is their fault in all this? SRC or ZC or whatever, the only ones suffering r players n fans. How disgusting.
