India v England ODI

[Ellisthegreek]

India 1 dayers have been cancelled due to trouble in Mumbai....

Yes, a real shame. As the Mumbai terrorists have been quite explicit in seeking out Western tourists, the England team needs assurances that it will be safe before considering playing the Tests - one of which is scheduled for Mumbai.

Another big knock-on effect is the Champions' League, which is due to take place in the next couple of weeks.

I wonder if one or both can be moved at this late stage - Sharjah, for example, is used to hosting events at short notice.

When i first heard the news i thought it was KP's latest tactic to avoid losing 7 nil but then rumours sprung up that it wasnt terrorists running around looking for anyone with a British Passport but Ian Moores & the selctors desperately looking for new players.
I realised the terrorists were not the actual team as they were "running" and, although they didn't actually hold on to anyone for long they did managed a few decent shots along the way.

they should get out the country right now. f*ck staying somewere that all the locals are running around with guns shooting each other. no sporting team would put up with that .

 

[Brian Moore]

True, i'd advise Blackpool to pull out of this weekends fixture for starters.

A mate of mine has his flights booked for the Mumbai test, and is keeping a close eye on the news!

Sounds like the Tests will go ahead, but with the Mumbai Test moved.

Yer the test has been moved to chenni. dont know how likely it is that the tests are going to go ahead though because it just does not seem sesible to me.
