Since when did Ozias Bvute start writing for Newsday?

That is one of the most poorly written articles I have ever seen. It does nothing to make the BBC article look stupid but instead makes the person who wrote this article look like a buffoon with no basic education in journalism or media. He fails to understand how the BBC functions as an organisation, and thus the structure of their articles. One of the worst articles I have read and if anything, it just makes me believe the BBC article more.

Its funny how the well oiled BBC machine can print that a cricket professional actually earned £131. Guess thats what is described as professional reporting. Take a side and stick to it no matter how stupid the reporting is.

Ey, lets face it. The thing in Zimbabwe is not about cricket oh any sport things a tough for everyone. If Taylor thinks his family has a safer future abroad so be it any professional in Zim given the opportunity would do the same. But it will hardly result in ZC closing shop. Murray Goodwin did the same well before it really got sticky who can fault him. We could never find another Taylor same as SA can't replace Kallis but a team has 11 players and indeed 11 players will take the field.

Exactly my thoughts when I browsed the article

Another interesting article : http://www.espncricinfo.com/magazine/co ... 84215.html

Nevertheless, it was clear to Taylor that the board wished to promote cricket as a black sport; selection "wasn't a level playing field". This fact is confirmed by Alan Butcher, who coached the team from 2010-13 and who, even years later, remembers a group that forever "felt they were one game away from being dropped". Perhaps they were; there were persistent rumours of corruption.

Really interesting article. You can understand Taylor's frustrations, particularly the uncertain fixture list!
