From the 'India back Zimbots' thread:

The first forumer to find exactly where, in a non-edited post made prior to this reward being offered, The One has been critical of India, or Indian cricket in general, or the BCCI in particular, will win a bag of Minties or packet of Tim Tams.

Because I think he's speaking shit.

Compromise reached!?!

Hardly a compromise is it. You don't play in Eng;and, and you can keep syphoning off our funds and pretending to play cricket!

What a joke!! Quote of the day:

The decision, Chingoka said, pertained only to the tournament in England. "We are now looking forward to more tours and international cricket with our Asian friends, especially India."
India, friends basically with Mugabe's cronies! NICE!!

Utter disgrace. Well, that's OK then! All has changed.

So the only thing that will happen is that Zimbabwe will miss the worldT20 tournament. Big f*cking deal.

They'll still retain their full membership, and receive the same funding. What a disgrace.

by Zat on Thu 03 Jul 2008, 20:35

But given that t20 is the biggest thing in the cricketing world now, and all things mus t be put on hold for t20 tournaments, it's huge news! Rolling Eyes

20 overs ... well, it's the only game they might have batted through

Why wont the ICC release the findings of the independent enquiry into where ZC's funds are going? Are they worried the results show that the ICC has been directly contributing to the funding of Mugabe's regime?

If I saw Ray Mali walking down the street, I would honestly spit in his face.

The BCCI voted against it.

by holcs on Thu 03 Jul 2008, 20:43

I will categorically state that the BCCI are a bunch of farking thunderqunts.

$11million worth of cricketing funds will again be given to Zimbabwe to be spent on ~~cricket~~ a nice villa in the Cayman Islands!!!

Thats a touch.

Give the money to an associate cricketing body that is actually bothered about cricket in their country!!

It's avery clever ploy by Chingoka (and the BCCI - who urged ZC to submit it).
Previous to the meeting, Chingoka was adamant ZC was definitely attending the T20 WC in the UK.
After reading the various match reports, it seems that during the meeting the BCCI persuaded him otherwise!

The move is clearly an attempt to put ZC in a favourable light - (look guys, we're pulling out
in order to avoid disrupting the tournament) ... it also gives the BCCI necessary leverage ...(see friends, ZC
are being cooperative, they deserve consideration) ... and it leads nicely to ZC continuing to syphon off
$11 million from the ICC courtesy of the Indian bloc vote ... and that additional guaranteed supporting vote
in the BCCI back pocket.

WhoTF are the BCCI kidding?!
