God help us if he does get the job, he might end up putting a GST on all entry prices. Plus he doesn't know how to bowl.

Disgraceful decision IMO. CA and NZ Cricket should be ashamed of themselves for nominating him.

More politics than cricket ability required for the position unfortunately.

He'll probably say that Bangladesh has weapons of mass destruction and get the ICC to invade them.

Don't blame cricket NZ... they were hellbent on getting there former CEO the gig. Cricket Australia is the sole beneficiary/cause of this decision. From memory the australian rugby union also tried to get a similar deal under way last year involving howard but the international rugby community wouldn't allow it. will be interesting to see what happens when his stubborn ways conflict with the power bloc.

I never thought I'd agree with the Indian's on anything cricket related, but it looks like Zimbabwe, South Africa and India are all going to object to Howard's nomination :D

Lets hope a few more countries object and he doesn't get the nod.

Honestly, how often do we hear what the President of the ICC does?

Never. Zero times per week- unless we search for it.

Our former PM will make headlines for a day or two, then the occasional by-line in the sports section when/if something major happens.

Also, he's proven through the running of this country that he's an able administrator. Got my vote... for the first time...
