		England's cricketers were indeed adamant about not playing in Zimbabwe, there fears about safety having prompted them to reverse their previous decision to play the match and instead ask the International Cricket Council to relocate the February 13 encounter to South Africa.
		With officials from the England and Wales cricket board in attendance to present their players' case along with their counterparts from Zimbabwe and a trio of security experts, the ICC stuck to its guns over the issue, deciding by unanimous vote that there is insufficient reason to move the match from Harare.
		The world is not the same since September 11, 2001, and we've got to accept it and we've got to handle it and we've got to meet these challenges with determination and perseverance.
