It's just as safe as London apparently.

They blow the tube up in that there London don't you know.

Looks like Nathan Hauritz will be playing for us

Let the fun begin. The Aust side will scarcely be recognisable.

Another Asia Cup within 3 months?

if the aussies were not happy in 2002 i cant see them being happy now. and probably not for another 15-20 years

the rest of the teams have toured in the last 4-5 years and should probably tour. individual players is another matter

Meh, the ICCCT is the Bob Cunis of MODIS.

Bad news for PAK cricket!
This would mean that PCB will make more shameless decisions like this one.

Since the ICC have deemed Pakistan safe to travel, there could be big repercussions if the boards take the decision not to send a team.

No board will refuse to send a team do-boy, but several players will pull out.

Teams don't have to travel if they are not allowed to by their governments.

Cricket boards can only vote if approved by thier governments.

Is there any precedence of a govt asking/telling a board not to send a team solely on security grounds?

I think that's how Aust got out of the last Zimbok tour.

Security or human rights?
