Angry is seething over John Howard's nomination and venom is being spit on the Asian bloc, this time by Malcolm Speed against Pakistan cricket.

The former ICC CEO called the Pakistan Cricket Board ( PCB ) chief, Ejaz Butt, a "buffoon" while discussing the matter of the former Australian Prime Minister's nomination for the ICC Vice President's post being rejected.
He is also said to have described cricket in Pakistan as a "basket case."
However, Ejaz Butt has not reacted to the comments yet.
