What is with the ICC?

[James]

New Zealand face some familiar scenarios next season after the new Future Tours Programme was confirmed by the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Sri Lanka will visit New Zealand for a third consecutive summer while the Black Caps will once again tour South Africa

How can the ICC send Sri Lanka here yet again

Like Martin Snedden said: "....Sometimes you just have to compromise because every time somebody wants to shift something it had a flow-on effect."

Why did they have to change it in the first place? I was looking forward to Bangladesh coming later in the year for that series.

Its time to do a major protest I think shall we make large CW banners at the next games in Nz complaining?

 

[James]

Haha

Because they are idiots.

I believe India didn't want to go there because of issues of the right preperation.

What wimps, stop thinking they own world cricket and go over there just like New Zealand would be expected to.

 

[James]

We were supposed to have Bangladesh next summer.

 

[thedarkmullet]

Are we still doing the VB series?

 

[luckyeddie]

Because they are idiots.

But...but...but... these are the people who implemented the 'Super Sub' rule in cricket, showed a positive lead over Zimbabwe, decided to schedule the Champions Trophy within six months of the World Cup and introduced Winter Cricket in the form of the current South Africa v New Zealand test series.

The word you are looking for is Progressive.

Because they are progressive idiots

Yes we are.

Cheers.

I really haven't a clue - there's some clever people at the ICC, I can tell. Perhaps the heat's getting to them?

Just idiots will do fine.

Really? I thought it was India? I mean Bangladesh wouldn't pull out of a Test or ODI series and I believe there was a thread on it.

If your right and I'm wrong then I apologise and take back what I said.

 

[James]

Nope, was definately Bangladesh, because I remember Ian Smith talking about it.

I was really looking forward to seeing them come here after their improvement in the international game over the past year. Sri Lanka three years in a row is just over-kill.

 

[Blaze]

India were originally down to come as well I think.

 

[Craig]

At least Jason doesn't have an excuse for not going to watch his team play.

 

[James]

Nope, India and England were schedule for 2007/08. Now it is just England I believe.

India's tour was postponed and it was a mutual decision. It happened a good while back as well.
