Mid Life Crisis Man Wrote:The only pity is that this was a government decision, rather than one made by the players or the controlling body (Cricket Australia).
I was aware this was a government decision - the jellyfish I refered to was the British government, not the players or cricket management. As I understand it so long as its a political decision taken by the government in the touring country there's no ICC sanction. The problem England had recently was the UK government refused to prohibit the tour whilst declaring it 'undesirable' - thus leaving the England team's backside in the wind.
Anyway, I didn't mean for this to detract from your fabulous race effort.
So once again, well done old boy!
