I admire your bowling prowess Mr. Warne BUT I reject your offer to move the IPL to SA. The IPL is an Indian baby and it should be raised in India. We don't need your suggestions on the matter. As far as safety goes, no where on earth is safe. Terrorists can play spoilsport pretty much anywhere they like. We saw that in the past 20 years: Yemen, New York City, Washington D.C., Cairo, Jakarta, Barcelona, London, Oklahoma City, Mumbai, Colombo, Rio De Jeneiro etc.
What we can do to counter terrorism is NOT to give in to the demands of the terrorists. If we move the IPL to SA or any other country as per Warne's suggestion then we play right into the demands of the terrorists. India will then lose her credibility as a nation. I don't know what Indians think BUT the real LOSERS will be us - the Indian people. Warne and his fellow foreign players won't lose ANYTHING. If it's not the IPL then perhaps it will be something else; a poker tournament in Las Vegas OR a bridge tournament in Singapore !! Warne is gonna make money either way.
Enough is enough. Lalit Modi has to be precise on his stance about the IPL. He shouldn't allow pawns like Shane Warne to dictate terms. At the same time, Modi has to be transparent with the security information handed out to the overseas players. Nobody should be forced to come to India this time. The choice has to be given to the players. Remember the IPL is an Indian tournament. We can do without the foreign nonsense that Warne and his type are.

wow!!! Way to go Tim Jim. I Liked the way you put that Kachha baniyaan in context.
just like the way common man suffered as security was shifted to theaters thanks to SS.. again common man only will suffer to protect players n guard stadiums.. honestly.. india does not have the resources to spare for big events as it is always at the cost of the common man's life ... As it is there is only 1 cop for 1 lac or so

Patriotism and emotions apart, the fact is that our country is among the most terrorist prone countries. But the risk is for the common man living in this country.
People like Top Cricketers, politicians and film stars are never killed by terrorists. They are the safest people in this country.
Our Govt will deploy thousands of cops for holding cricket matches or screening of movies, but leave its citizens on the mercy of terrorists, hard core criminals.
Let us accept the fact that India is no more a safe country. I know many won’t agree and will try comparing situation in Af-pak etc or maybe not. We need to refrain from escapism. Escaping to where? How long? How many of us? Escapism is not a solution. Let us face & fight mentally, physically and build a safe and secure India. There are countless fellow Indians who are working hard towards it. Thapa, the Jawan who got killed in Maoist attack in WB was one of them. An honest traffic cop working on the signals of Bangalore roads is also one of them. Believe me, there are still good guys among us. Let us not give up as yet!

I accept the fact you have expressed. Also it is time for my fellow Indians to accept the fact that India is going Pak way. India is failed country very much like Pak. The credit goes to Congress vote bank policy for making peaceful country to a failed nation. If possible go and settle abroad. India is going to be heaven for terrorists. I have to differ with you at one point that India has no hope.
Hi folks, I don\'t think it is wise to blame Warne. I agree, oz is not able to protect Indian students there. But the problem here is a lot different. If Warne is afraid of Shivsena (SS), the Indian government might be able to assure him that players are safe and that they don’t have to be afraid of SS. GoI can deal with SS. Again, some of you might not agree with this. I don’t think SS hates Ausies or something like that, SS is upset just because we Indians are being attacked there. This could be a separate topic of discussion because SS is against northies in Mumbai :)and so one might question SS’s double standards.
But when we talk about threat from AQ or LeT etc, we need to think seriously. How many of you really think that with Congress in power at the centre, we are safe? Are we really safe? The shameless HM, says Pune attack was not an intel failure! How does one define intel failure then? I totally understand the anger of some of the readers here. As any proud Indian would feel Warne’s statement as pure insult. But are not Paki’ terrorists insulting us and our security agencies every time they launch an attack? Instead of blaming him, we ought to introspect. It is our government which is to blame and it has failed us time and again. I don\'t understand why we voted Congress into power. I don’t know if NDA would have been better. But today’s interview of Maroof Raza on rediff atleast indicates that way.
