Was that really necessary? These are kids we are talking about. As if the British government has achieved a lot by banning 15 year olds from playing cricket...

We're only talking transit visas, at that. But then our illustrious leaders aren't exactly known for commom sense.

True. Surely from Johannesburg there is another route to the West Indies... regardless, if London did deny the players visa's, it is quite discouraging. That article has also changed significantly since this morning, there was some talk about Chingoka's visa being denied and the meeting moved to Dubai earlier :P

UK govt using 15 year olds to make a political point... Seems a bit pathetic to be honest. No one, other than die hard cricket fans are going to hear this news, therefore the only people who suffer are the kids involved, for no seemingly no apparent reason other than being Zimbabwean...
