Yes, it`s been done before.
No, it won`t be as lond as the FOG version.
Why am I trying it out anyway?
The PS2 forum is a very interesting place to be, but it can also be a little quiet. I though perhaps if we had a topic with several hundred replies lurking at the top, things would look more popular.
Feel free to use the topic to talk about anything. Either the latest PS2 game, latest ideas for including some female star in a game etc... or even just the usual chat that happens all over.
As I expect this to fail, I`ve decided to spend a little while pushing up the replies. No spamming, just lots of nonsense :-)
Any help would be great, it`d be boring to have a whole topic with replies from only me.

I believe that the ECB would have had to cough up the money and don't think the government would have helped financially but I don't know where I got that from, sorry.

There you go, you've done the hardest part of the work and made a positive decision, back it up well and your report should be just about finished now :D
I have to go so I'll catch up with you later.

They are probably wise to keep stum until the board decides one way or another. It is only at this point can they then come out and say whether they are willing or not to play. Some players may well refuse to go but a team will still be put together to tour if it does go ahead, which it sounds like it will.
All down to money and the threat of losing the host status for the ICC Champions trophy.

Thanks for the site. I think that is a kind of black mail by the ICC there. If you don't go, you can pay all these penalties
Do they have a choice, where do they get the funds from? I really think the Government should have backed them up.

Interesting, I went for a browse to see who was due there and where Zim are currently playing.

I didn't realise that it had been resolved.
However you cannot go wrong with your report as long as you can substantiate your opinion.
So you just have to make up your mind.
Have fun :)

I agree with that. But then I start to think it is like the team just ignoring what is really going on in the Country because at the end of the day when the match is over they can just go home and wont actually be faced with such evil.
I really do think that the Government is needed on this one, the two considered opposites need to come together like Science and Religion often do. They can then often produce and find out more great things. This can work with Sport and Politics as well I believe, if the ECB decide not to allow the tour then the Government can back them with strong arguements for why they shouldn't go, but alone they will be weaker.

Who mentioned the Playstation :)
From Playstation to Politics.
Another thought - is this the same tour that, if England didn't go, they needed to pay a lot of money out for cancelling the tour? If so, and the politians stop England from going over, who would foot the bill?
Yes but probably a very naive and uninformed one. I don't think that politics should be allowed to come into it if the England team are willing to go (I don't know if they still are or not). The regime may be evil but the people who would watch the matches are not necessarily tarred with the same brush.
People watch their team, playing their favourite sport, with their friends and it is a joyful / painful experience, depending upon performance (I know, I'm a Liverpool fan!). I don't think that if a team is willing to go over and provide a little light relief that politics should interfere. It is not the evil regime that misses out but the people.
However, as stated, this is a naive opinion but one that I've not been convinced to change as yet.
