[wdvltalk-social] Cricket

[joseph harris]

I think you are right and right. This is devastating in many 
ways, but the underlying insecurity in the area is known; 
Pakistan is on the brink of breakdown - with nuclear weapons 
in their hands the implications are, er, awkward.

How far India can improve its security is an unknown, given 
the endemic corruption [it was that, after all, more than 
conquest that allowed Brit influence to expand in the 
sub-continent].

NZ and Oz might have to work together ;-) on this to control 
the risk. But nowhere is actually safe against such actions, 
and I would not say there is guarantee of safety here, 
either.

Following the Stanford Singeing I suspect the cricket 
masters will assume everyone wants to cosset players, rather 
than cock a snook. With so much cash value in players it may 
be a commercial decision too.

Perhaps we will settle back into the dozy corner where 
cricket belongs ;-).
