The truth will out

In Zimbabwe, the truth is not always welcome

The website’s uses a correspondent who uses a pseudonym Stephen Price who has clearly taken sides with those who are rebelling against the board’s authority.
What the article, a thinly-disguised plant by the board, fails to grasp is that reporting the truth is not taking sides.

Cullen didn't even take a wicket in the ING Cup match against NSW at Bankstown on Sunday, which is scarcely a recommendation. But it's the shape of his bowling and the reaction of the Blues' batsmen that was noticeable.”
A Cricket Australia contract holder, Cullen's profile is here.
