Australia government on Monday, ban the Cricket Australia from touring to Zimbabwe. Government officials ruled out the possibility of having the test match reschedules to a neutral country.
“I don’t think (a neural clash) is very likely as I doubt very much the Zimbabwean government for that matter would allow themselves to be humiliated by accepting that the international community refuses to come to their country”, said Alexander Downer, Australian Foreign affairs minister.

John Howard, the Australian Prime Minister, speaking on TV explaining why the test match was cancelled as usual was quick to called Mr Mugabi, the Zimbabwean President, ‘A grubby dictator’ just shot of calling him a mass murderer. Then again if he had, one would say kettle, pot and black hmm. Iraqis are still dying in thousands every month like the Zimbabweans. Perhaps its not mass murdering when carried out in another country.

AUSTRALIAN government officials do not expect Australia’s one-day series against Zimbabwe to be rescheduled to a neutral venue. Prime Minister John Howard banned Cricket Australia from going ahead with the tour and foreign affairs minister Alexander Downer said he would not re the series be played elsewhere.
"I don’t think (neutral clash) is very likely as I doubt very much the Zimbabwe Cricket Union, or the Zimbabwe government for that matter, would allow themselves to be humiliated by accepting that the international community refuses to come to their country," said Downer.
