Karl on the continuing Zimbabwe crisis

As Mike reported before, the latest in the Zimbabwe crisis is the arrest of the game's administrators Peter Chingoka and Ozias Bvute. These two are those at the centre of the crisis in Zimbabwe cricket at the moment. The arrest of these two could be the corner that Zimbabwe cricket needs to turn to get back on the right track - at a stakeholders meeting earlier in the week the players said that they would not play were these two to remain on the board.

The charges that have been laid relate to foreign currency transactions. The financial state of Zimbabwe Cricket is in such a state that the Harare Sports Club hasn't been paid rent for two months and the players haven't received money they were due from the recent series against NZ and India.
