#2 Bob is blaming Zim's current state of starvation on the Brits. The team didn't want to go in the first place, because of Zim's reputation for near anarchy and Bob's hatred of light complexions.

#3 If Blair had any guts and if Howard wasn't a confessed cricket tragic they would have stopped their national teams from playing there rather they letting commercial interests decide.

#4 G'Day Rizzo,

Apart from saying "Please! Please!! Pretty please don't go to Zimbabwe!!", how could Howard of stopped our team from going to Zimbabwe. The Australian PM is not a dictator, he has no conceivable law he could invoke to prevent players going to Zimbabwe. There is no chance that there could be a law passed by Parliament that would give him the right to stop them.
