When the Australian team returns to South Africa after playing Zimbabwe, I reckon there will be 2 extra cricketers on the plane.

Flower and Olonga have shown alot of guts to do what they have done and I fully support the eloquent way the message was written. The Zimbabwe officials will be unable to do much with the world spotlight on the World Cup, but after ........

Both themselves and families will be victimised by "officials".

Having been to Zimbabwe a couple of times it is a pity that politics is going to rule over their best cricketers. All the cricketers want to do is play the best in the world.

The rich get richer and the poor, who cares. quote of Comrade Robert Mugabe.

Olonga is a top bowler and we all know that Flower is one of the best n the business, but if Mugabe's reign is going to victimise people by making them lose their livelyhood (cricket), due to them taking a stance..... Mugabe has to wisen up.

Look at the rally in Melbourne yesterday. Free speech of 10s of thousands without problems, while 2 blokes playing cricket will most likely get treated like crap just a few hours away from Australia.

Unbelievable.

i heard Grant flower on 5aa and he said that andy will leave zimbabwe and Olonga looks like staying. Since there was an attempt by the Southern Redbacks to get andy flower, grant said that andy will consider playing cricket in oz.

it was very courageouse of their stance and australia should welcome them with open arms if they deside to live or play hear.
