Harmison boycotts Zimbabwe Tour.

[dougdeep]

Steve Harmison has stated that he doesn't want to be considered for the tour of Zimbabwe. Well done Steve, I only hope he can talk all the other England players into joining him.
Mind you, none of this would be neccesary if Tony Blair had any guts.

A big thumbs up to the worlds best bowler

What about getting the members of the MCC to get their fat wallets out rather than pressurise the team to tour so as to save the value of their debentures.

Better still just tell the F***ing ICC to shove it up their arse and shame other countries into doing likewise. What the F*** is the point of the Commonwealth?

We shouldn't be sending a cricket team, we should be sending a f***ing Army.

No doubt we would be if Mugabe was sitting on a load of oil.

Anyone who goes is only a few steps up the evolutionary ladder than Fat Gatt and his Apartheid-blind cash hungry shits.

Well done GBH

I think this is a very good move. Personally I think we should send an under strength side to make a point to them as well. With England players making the stand, it makes it look better for the ECB as well.

Lets wait to hear from the likes of Tresco, Freddie and Giles that they want to boycott it as well.

Give them some time off to be fresh for South Africa and the forthcoming Ashes series.

I know politics and sport should not mix but I would happier if none of the players went to Zimbabwe until they get their own house in order.

 

[Pevenseagull]

My understanding is that we have to send a team or the ICC will fine us.

F*** em

There's enough Pimms sipping city boys smuggly enjoying the kudos of their MCC ties to foot the bill. Get them to cover it (unless they're all poised to get their noses in the trough on cheap farmland when the despot is finally delt with and are going to pop over and smooze with a few unterlings to get themselves at the front of the queue)

The tour is a farce, who are going to be playing exactly? 11 of Mugabe's family? It's a f***ing disgrace and would never have happened if John Major was PM (forget the party, at least he knew his cricket).

The lack of coverage of what's happened and is happening in Zimbabwe is a disgrace, the government's response is a disgrace and sending a cricket team over there, vicariously acknolwedging the current regime as acceptable, is just F***ing well not on.

Good work GBH, I sincerely hope EVERYONE follows your lead.

the icc are the ones to blame not blair, they should be banned not just from cricket but all sport
