Percy Sonn (new Best Name In Cricket award nominee) and Malcolm Speed have returned from their chin-scratching mission in Zimbabwe and will release their findings on the future of the country’s participation in international cricket soon. Don’t know how soon, but soon. And this after a really quite remarkable victory (albeit against the mighty Banglas).

What’s the consensus out there? Should they be allowed back into Test cricket or banished for good? In case you didn’t hear, Terry Duffin - 24-years-old going on 50 - was sacked the other day…

Bye Bye Zimbabwe is my view.

A tight home win against Banglasdesh doesn’t convince me that a team is good enough to be playing tests unfortunately.

I heard a week or two ago that some Zimbabwean players hadn’t been paid for eight months or something… i wonder if that has been solved yet?

ODI’s are fine…they don’t matter much anyway. But no tests.

playing tests against them would be an insult, better to play an Australian 4th grade club side than Zimbabwe.
