You'll probably have heard the idea briefly floated by the UK Government last week, of banning all Zimbabwe sportsmen from the country. That now seems to have been knocked on the head (the idead of banning white sportsment like Cara Black and Nick Price didn't seem to go down too well in some quarters), but the idea of selectively banning the cricket side is still being floated - although officially the Government will simply "support the ECB" in whatever decision they make. There now seem to be discussions ongoing with the ICC over what the ECB can get away with - but at the end of the week, the situation was essentially back where it started: the UK Government has made no decision, and the ECB cannot cancel Zimbabwe's 2009 tour without consequence unless the Government intervenes. Drama over for another week.
