Zim give ICC a headache

AFP, Harare
The International Cricket Council (ICC) was under growing pressure on Tuesday to eject Zimbabwe from Test cricket after the debacle of their two day defeat by New Zealand.
The cry for Zimbabwe's removal from cricket's top level has now even spread to their own national and government controlled newspaper, The Herald.
For the first time in the long running debate about Zimbabwe cricket status as a Test nation, local demand for their removal from inside the country was vehemently expressed by the deputy sports editor of the government controlled The Herald newspaper, Lawrence Moyo.
Moyo wrote under a huge headline of Worst Cricket Team Ever -- "If
what was on display at Harare Sports Club is to be reviewed at the highest level then Zimbabwe should not be playing Test matches in the interests of the world's Test match standards.
"Those watching the match were given better value by the security guards marching to the wicket after the day's breaks."
Alongside his article was a photograph of Craig Wishart being bowled, above the caption" Hopeless, clueless, useless..."
New Zealand won the first of two scheduled Tests by an innings and 294 runs with more than three days to spare as the home side became just the second team ever to be bowled out twice on the same day.
Moyo added that the umpires and match officials should now order the second Test to be played immediately, "so that it could be finished any day after tomorrow.
"Then the New Zealand cricketers could go off and enjoy some of the
country's resorts."
New Zealand and Zimbabwe are not due to meet for the second Test in Bulawayo until next Monday.
India are due to arrive for a triangular ODI series on August 23, followed by their own two Tests series.
The chairman of Zimbabwe Cricket, Peter Chingoka, remained upbeat when approached for comment by AFP.
He had not yet seen the Moyo article but said: "It was a bad day, but we will battle on. We know we can do much better and I still have faith in the future."
Chingoka referred to the first session of the match, soon after which Zimbabwe had New Zealand in difficulties on 113-5.
"We can build on that first session, "he said. "The potential is definitely there and we just need more time."
