Six boards reject John Howard for ICC role
Cricket Australia is waiting to confirm whether John Howard has failed in his push to become the ICC's vice-president following a move from six countries to block the appointment. The position taken by the board members on Tuesday night was believed to be an attempt to force Howard to withdraw his nomination before the executive meeting in Singapore on Wednesday.
Howard remained in the race and unless there is a significant turnaround as the discussions conclude, it will leave the ICC without a deputy when India's Sharad Pawar takes over the presidency from David Morgan this week. "We're still waiting to hear the outcome," a Cricket Australia spokesman told Cricinfo.
Six ICC board members signed a letter on Tuesday rejecting the appointment, but Zimbabwe, the most strident back-room protestor of Howard's nomination, was not one of them. Howard was a critic of Zimbabwe during his term as Australian prime minister and was responsible for banning the team from touring there in 2007.

Definitely dodgy. Anyone who's grudged by the BCCI doesn't stand a chance in hell of getting through.
