Opening post

Jimmy, would you say that it's possible that the players currently touring Bangladesh could potentially boycott the remainder of the tour? Are they brave enough to do it? Would Mangongo stand with them?

Is that a serious question?

Yeah it is. I've seen a few people mention it so was just wondering if it was a possibility.

They would be very stupid if they abandoned the Bangladesh tour. The Windies players have T20 tournaments to keep them employed, the Zimbabweans have nothing.

^well ICC has said such actions will affect IPL contracts. Besides p**sed off BCB will ban them from the DPL etc.

hmmm good question.

I do not think they will-they have plenty of time to strike when they get home.

There is however a very very small chance they'll strike until the current coach is replaced or demoted--unless the coach changes his bullying tactics. However this is also unlikely.
