With Stanford's fall and the appointment of David Collart as Zimbabwe's new sports minister, cricket may now legitimately hope that better days lie ahead, writes Peter Roebuck in the Hindu.
A founder member of the opposition party in Zimbabwe (in other countries it’d be called “the duly elected government”), Coltart is a keen cricketer, lawyer and man of integrity. Under the agreement recently hammered out, the education and sports portfolio was assigned to his faction of the MDC. Coltart was duly sworn in. Education will be his highest priority but cricket, will not be neglected. Coltart will want to see the long suppressed report into the finances of Zimbabwe cricket finances conducted in 2007. He’s been around and knows where the skeletons are hidden.
