[wdvltalk-social] Cricket

Yeah, it looks like Stanford is out of cricket now.  He was moving his HQ
here....like not now!

About 80 of his employees have been stranded here on St. Croix.

And I'm all for eliminating Club Fed.

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 ;-).
