One day he might work out that the causes he supports are wrong, one day he may work out that terrorists are not going to spare him just because he hates the USA. Poor old Keith, first Pol Pot and now the “more danger facing fast bowlers” comment.

One day he might work out that the causes he supports are wrong, one day he may work out that terrorists are not going to spare him just because he hates the USA.

After all, Green is a global movement, so (for the cynics who argue that country is entirely populated by Islamo-fascists) there will be some Greens there, and Keith as the NZ Green Foreign Affairs spokesperson will be in contact with them. Keith also said: <i>"Our cricketers face a much greater danger from Pakistan's fast bowlers than any bombers."</i> I'm not sure he is aware that Mohammad Asif has been banned as a <a href="http://content-nz.cricinfo.com/pakistan/content/player/41411.html" rel="nofollow">drug cheat</a>. Keith's knowledge of international politics may well be better than his knowledge of cricket, because with that player of dubious credentials out of the way, Pakistan is a much weeker team.

There would seem to be some fundamental differences between the US and say, Zimbabwe big bro, not least of all being that sport is basically free from politics over there, often being just another private enterprise and all that. People aren't starving or getting their ballot boxes rigged, or attacking police batons with their heads for trying to vote. Can't imagine anyone giving a toss about going to the US, certainly not Keith. There was an article about organising a Bledisloe match in Denver in the next year or two on Stuff yesterday though...

I can just imagine the rage if NZC announced they were going to play a ODI series in the USA. Would Keith be keen on us making a good will tour of Iraq or Afghanistan then?
