"It's Not Cricket"

What about all the fuss that has been happening in the media about John Howard attending the Prime Minister's Eleven cricket match on the same day that a convicted drug trafficker is being executed in Singapore.

Most of the media seem to be focused on the fact that this would not be appropriate.

As the PM is the host of the PM's Eleven it would seem to me to be even more inappropriate if he cancelled the occasion.

Whether you agree on the death penalty or not, whether you support the fact that a death sentence is mandatory in Singapore for certain crimes, it's almost criminal to take the PM to task about this, it's certainly not cricket!
