India and South Africa have approached the I.C.C. to have the Boxing Day test moved from the Melbourne Cricket Ground
because of the decision to cancel a tour of Zimbabwe by the Australian cricket team .These two countries forget that Australia
took a stand against the old South African regime and against Smiths government.

This decision is purely racist.Supporting Mugabe
is as bad if not worse than supporting the old apartheid regime no one should tour because it is not safe for the players.

There is a connection make no mistake
the M.C.G pulls big money for all of them and the game is not going to be moved and that is that.
THERE IS 140 YEARS OF TRADITION AT THAT GROUND.

I'm not sure that racist is the right word for it, but I would say that you have a point there.

I could not catch the connection you have drawn to requests for moving the test matches out of Melbourne Cricket Ground with decision of cancellation of Zimbabwe tour by Australia and finally Australia voicing against the old apartheid regime in South Africa. The three are matters totally unconnected in my opinion and how are India and South Africa are dragged on to this. The Australians have always put silly reasons for cancelling cricket tours citing safety of their players; whereas India went ahead with a tour of Bangladesh recently even when there was internal strifes going on in that country and there was even threat to the Indian cricketers. The Indians put cricket above every other consideration. So I don't think that India is racist in any sport leave alone cricket.

You a pratt. The South Africans are just a racist now with quota systems as they were under aparthied.
And the reason the Austrailians don't want to go to Zimbabwe is not political, it's just that it will be far too easy to beat them.
