SOUTH AFRICA ABANDONS TOUR DUE TO BOMB BLAST

Thursday, August 17, 2006South African Sr.teams abandons tour due to security reasons,but SA Under-19 check INthis is what yesterdays headline read.
There was a blast"terrorist attack "in colombo a few days back.As a consequence south african cricket team pulled out'siting security concerns'.Where as Indian team stays on to play 3 one-days "its was earlier a triangualr series".
As a cricket lover this was a major blow to my expectations of having fun"cuaz i really do enjoy watching cricket".But just to give it a thought in todays world which city(in fact country) is not prone to terrorist attacks"even New York ,Madrid,Mumbai and London have paid the brunt of terrorist attacks" ??So does this means teams and people should just pull out "leave everything behind "?.
I think in todays world we should be able to deal with these types of situations"cauz this is just the begining and lots more has to come".(I really think South Africa should have stayed on"when the President himself was offering his fleat of security"anyways all said and done they left 'but in the future they will have to deal with it cuaz they just can't abandon a series because of a bomb Blast")
Meanwhile
Heads off to the Indian team for staying on "actually this was done"evenif some palyers wanted to return"cuaz of the so called good bilateral relations between the India and Sri Lanka""WE call it Politics"(anyway I am happy at least i will be getting to watch some cricket)
I wish India the best of luck
Go India Go
Make us proud
