Monday's news

There is not a lot to get excited about this morning. But then it is a Monday after all. Best of the stories is the rumour in the Dominion-Post that John Wright is going to coach the World XI due to play Australia in October. In less interesting news, the Herald tells us that John Bracewell might use a batsman as the substitute in the one-day series which starts this Wednesday. And Cricinfo reports that two British politicians have written to the ICC requesting that Zimbabwe be kicked out of international cricket because of human rights abuses in the country.
