As I think of the staving children, the battered, raped and homeless women, the struggle for those who give their own lives, to stand up to the self-interested cruelity we see in this particular Mugabe dictatorship... I CAN NOT imagine you or your Aussie Team in your "clean white" strides spining any ball before their (Mugabe) audience on the premise below;
"Cricket Australia, ...is ..a business organisation..handles large sums of money, is concerned about brand and image and, with promoting a product for sale on the mass market."
It would be different if you and your team went to Zimbabwe for one week as AID workers or as a TV crew, as people who did something to even up the opportunity to report the perfidious power arrangement so SPORT as we know it to be... (icon the quality of fairness) is as it ought to be about personal and team spirit, working together, (being sportive...) and could level the playing field (for real) of that country.
Do By Example ...
On other occassions YES, the Tour might of been a hero's day... but not this time.
Becareful of the mindfulness we require from all Australians right now.
We need you to sell us as a NATION of ALL wisely and our example impacts the state of the whole world through the ways we ALL "inter-relate" as ONE through a world of extraordinary change.
Life Quality is not a sport unless you have it.
