Columnist Peter Roebuck, has urged Cricket South Africa to review the friendly ties with its Zimbabwean counterparts.

"South Africa needs to rethink its relationship with the spiteful crooks running Zimbabwe. Likewise, in this euphoric hour CSA ought to cut its close ties with the charming creeps plundering Zimbabwe Cricket (ZC).

"Some of the leading lights at CSA stood firm against apartheid and now must reject the tyranny of Zanu-Pf (Zimbabwes ruling party). In both cases the common man was crushed by a ruthless elite," Roebuck wrote in his column in 'The Age'.

"Over the years CSA has backed the Zimbabwean rulers to the hilt. Black Africa has produced some of the greatest leaders the world has known but cricket fell into the hands of lesser men," he added.

Roebuck felt it was former CSA and International Cricket Council (ICC) President late Percy Sonn who was responsible for the rot in Zimbabwe Cricket.
