Zim face ICC suspension?

Zimbabwe's capitulation in Sunday's third one-day international against Sri Lanka, in which they were bowled out for a new record-low of 35, could have far-reaching consequences in the corridors of the ICC, according to Mihir Bose, the Daily Telegraph reporter who was deported from Zimbabwe last week.For most of the winter, it has been England, not Zimbabwe, that has been threatened with suspension from the International Cricket Council, for their unwillingness to fulfil their tour obligations in October. But, ever since the sacking of 15 white Zimbabwean cricketers -- including the captain Heath Streak -- the ICC has been concerned about the devaluing of international cricket. If Sunday's humiliating result is compounded by a farcical first Test in Harare next week, the clamour for their removal will grow ever louder.
