Though i understand that they are scared for their lives and they don't want risk but these were the 2 guys who were going Ga-Ga over IPL.They were desperate to do anything to join IPL.They were saying this on behalf of england players.Now what happened.This isn't the first terror attack on India or Mumbai.Many bomb blast had happened earlier also.If they have guts they will come here not only for IPL but also for test series.Even aussies played in india even though many blast took place during their tour.I guess they are more scared becoz attack took place on the hotels where they were going to stay.
Can anybody give the details of London bomb attack? Did there occured any attack after that in UK? After WTC attack did any one attaked America anywhere?

I really hope all international cricket stops in the country. This will galvanize people further to put pressure on our so called leaders to act and put an end to this sham of state security. BCCI is politically inclined and the only reason they want to force England to play is to divert the country's attention from the real issues at hand. In fact even if BCCI managed to arm twist England in to playing all of us should boycott the games untill the security issues are tackled.

No cricket until a solution for this attack. How many attacks are happening in India on regular basis? Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Mumbai and everywhere. How can we think of Cricket? Least make Pakistan accept that Lashkar e Toiba training camps are there and Dawood is there. Then we think of cricket. Entertainment business need to run for money and survival but not at this time

no he cares for the shame full defeat they were given by indians did he forgot the bomb blasts in glasgow etc in england r they safe just trying saving their face against 2 nill wash in tests also
whats the point coming to india? we'd have a more thrilling match if India plays India A or some ranji team. Atleast now England has an excuse. Better take that time off to knock a couple of balls against the wall and practice. Oh wishing England teh very best for the Ashes.

Correct. We have enough interest and talent in house that we do not need to depend on outsiders for our entertainment. Lets have an IPL with only Indian players

Yes I haven't faith on our govt. But history says cricketers never faced threat in India. Tour must go on. It will give positive message to other nations about our country.

If England cancel the tour it will give poor image for India, Cant BCCI cancel it as a show of respect for those who lost their lives in this attack?

BCCI have already postponed Champions league which can provide them more money than Ind-Eng Test Series. But still I have no faith on BCCI.

Sunil Bhat, May I ask you what are the Governments revenues sources? And for one ruppee earned how much do our Government spend for our Security alone?
