I am both a big sports fan and a political anorak, but I can not stand it when these two things are combined, as was the case recently when John Howard prevented the Australian cricket team from playing a test series in Zimbabwe. Now don't get me wrong I am not a fan of Mugabe or his regime but at the same time I don't think this is a decision the Australian Prime Minister should be taking. Politics and sport should not be mixed.
A few years back Greece were barred from UEFA competitions because of too much government interference. In addition during the 2003 world cup England were penalised for failing to play in Zimbabwe. As a result I will be interested to see what if any action the ICC will take in relation to this.
