The Australian Cricket team is in a bit of a dilemma – should it go on tour to Zimbabwe in September to play three one day games?

The Catholic Archbishop of Bulawayo, Pius Ncube, who’s a respected human rights campaigner -says that if Australia does participate, the Zimbabwean government will use the visit as propaganda.

He says that when the Australian cricket team visited three years ago, the state controlled media used the visit to suggest the international community supported the Zimbabwean government.

On that occasion in 2004, spin bowler Stuart MacGill boycotted the tour.

Archbishop Na-coo-bay says inflation is up to 2200 per cent, and Zimbabwe now has the world’s lowest life expectancy.

Many blame the country’s leader, Robert Mugabe for the country’s woes.

Prime Minister John Howard says the situation in Zimbabwe is unacceptable.

Captain Ricky Ponting says every player will be able to make up their own mind on whether they should go or not.

What do you think? Should the Australian cricket team tour Zimbabwe in September?
