Speaking as an Australian, I feel absolutely no insult over the rejection of John Howard as Deputy President of the ICC. None whatsoever. And many of my cricket-loving compatriots feel the same way.
I agree with Peter Roebuck's decription of John Howard as 'an outsider uninvolved in cricket'.
Why should Howard have been nominated? Certainly not on the basis of his provocative comments about Muttiah Muralitharan's bowling action. It was none of his business.
Let's keep conservative politicians in their place - as spectators - and leave sport to talented sports men and women.
