The problem with the NZ Cricket Black Caps tour to Zimbabwe is that it's NOT about sport.
It's about politics and money!
Listen to all the arguments from both sides of the "should they go" debate.
They are talking about how bad Mugabee is, or how much it will cost, or who gets the money, or how it will affect the profits of NZ Cricket in the future.
The Black Caps are professionals, and are incidentally playing a sport for money.
The whole thing boils down to trying to figure out how to extricate ourselves from the position that the NZ Cricket Council have put the country in, by signing up to something which they should never have agreed to.
The ICC is morally bankrupt and are as mercenary as the next corporate. They are NOT interested in the
sport of cricket, just the bottom line of the
business of cricket.
