More cricket
Well done to Brian Lara on scoring 400 n.o. - the highest ever score in tests, for those who haven't heard. I wonder what odds the TAB would have offered to cover this eventuality? $3.50 probably. Meanwhile, Henry Olonga has something useful to say about the situation in Zimbabwe. The future doesn't look too bright:
For the 13 rebels, the future is unclear. When Henry Olonga and Andy Flower made their black-armband protests during the World Cup in 2003, they immediately feared for their lives and were forced to flee the country. "This will be a worrying time for the players," Olonga told The Times last night. "A lot of them don't know where they're going to go or what job they're going to do. But they're on a hiding to nothing now; now they have to speak up. There is no future for white cricketers in Zimbabwe, just as there is no future for white farmers."
