Johnnys back ...........
Jan 22^nd, 2010 at 8:53am

........ aaaaaahhhhhh, the world is a better place.

Quote:

JOHN Howard, self-described cricket tragic, is reportedly in the running to take control of the sport at the highest level.

Rumours have emerged that the former prime minister has been nominated by the governing cricket bodies in Australia and New Zealand to take the leadership of the International Cricket Council when the job becomes vacant in 2012.

Contacted by Fairfax newspapers, a spokeswoman for Mr Howard said he would not comment on the rumours.

Cricket Australia confirmed a candidate had been selected but would not say if it was Mr Howard. "We do have a preferred candidate," a spokesman told Fairfax. "He is very dedicated to cricket and willing for his name to go forward."

Yes the rodent has no idea, useless at sport useless at politics, the wanker tried to get on the NRL board as well. The rugby league had better hind site than the cricket board seems too.

An administrator does not have to be a previous spearhead bowler to be an administrator.

If someone has a passion for the game, makes the right decision , can run a meeting and even has some contacts, that'ld be great.

perhaps you leftards would be better suited to a site that shuns freedom of speech.

Based on your review of who can be on the ICC Kermit the Frog would also make a fantastic candidate.

You're right Sprint, there's no need to be a spearhead bowler but he's entering an entirely different field than politics. He should at least start down a few rungs to prove his worth.

You're only as good as your last fight and Johnny copped the mother of all batterings in his last. Now wants to enter a field where he has no experience.
Mind you, it might be a bit nostalgic to see the return of cricket in all whites only.
