Australia call for Zimbabwe match switch

The Australian government have repeated their call for World Cup matches to be moved from Zimbabwe, even though their team are set to play in Bulawayo. Foreign Minister Alexander Downer welcomed England's decision to ask for their Zimbabwe match to be switched. But the Australian Cricket Board have said that they will not make a request for their game to be moved. Downer added: 'We do not want to see our great cricketers used as pawns in a propaganda war."
