This thread is to discuss whether Australia should tour Zimbabwe in June 2007, for a 3 match ODI series.
There has been a lot of controversy on this tour, because Australia are considering not touring due to security and political issues with Zimbabwe's government, cricket board and country in general.
As most of you will know, John Howard has offered to pay the $2 million USD($2.4 mill AUD) fine that Australia will incur if it abandons the tour.
Personally I am 100% with abandoning this tour, regardless of what it will do to the game's growth and health in Zimbabwe. I could not care less, and am much more concerned about safety of our cricketers and of not supporting Zimbabwe in any way.
