And the show must go on...

i'm not a big fan of cricket

not at all. the 20/20 game seems ok. not great but ok. but this is one of those times when i think cricket is essential. not all over. not here. but the one place that needs it, Mumbai, India.

one of the original tests was to be in Mumbai on december 19th.

this is now cancelled on the fears of safety. i think personally this is quite saddening.

it would've been a great show of support by the english team to go to mumbai and play the game. the message being sent to the terrorists that they will not be phased out by their actions. they should go to the city to show that they are wanting and willing to help them get over this tragedy.

flintoff and co seem to be keen to go to the IPL and get a piece of the millions it has dished out to global superstars of cricket. it would've done them a great deal of good if they were at this time to show solidarity to travel to mumbai and stand side by side with the mumbaites. i'm sure they would've gained the respect of more than enough fans.

still the option to travel to india is still there. yeah i can understand the fact there is a fear the terrorists may choose to strike again, especially with them being the westerners.

england are in a unique opportunity here to do a great thing, even if its just playing cricket. the whole shoulder to shoulder aspect can be done here. lets hope they do see sense and travel.
