Guru,
Big O is reserved for the fairer species!
How true! Fairer one has given the explanation.
Ananda,
Thanks for the link. It says more people were killed in South Africa during the past month than in Lebanon. However, to be fair for the SA I must say things are much better over there than during the apartheid period. They are improving.

Following is a more realistic explanation of the SA pullout by Charlie Austin. He goes on to say that the finanical loss for Sri Lanka Cricket Board was immense because of the pullout and Sri Lanka's image too suffered:
Cricinfo 18.08.06
Clearly, whatever was in the report was not communicated to all of South Africa's media because some seemed to be perfectly relaxed at Rhythm & Blues, a fun waterhole a short drive from the location of Monday's bomb. Like most people in Colombo, they realise that despite the recent increased tensions in the island, the city, reputed for its low violent crime rate, is far safer than many in the world at the current time, including a few South African cities.
The decision to pull-out has prompted many hypothetical questions. Would South Africa have withdrawn from an England tour in the aftermath of similar terror scares to those witnessed before the fourth Test against Pakistan? Will South Africa refuse to travel to Mumbai for the Champions Trophy after the dreadful bombings earlier this year? Will South Africa pull-out of a Pakistan tour if a group calling themselves the Al Qaeda Children's Group sent them a threatening email?
Of course, if South Africa's cricketers felt threatened - all the indications are that they were genuinely rattled by Monday's car bomb - then one can understand them wanting to go home. But the suspicion lingers that they were misinformed about the risks posed to them, which were exaggerated by security experts lacking a deep understanding of the conflict between the Sri Lanka government and the Tamil Tigers. The hastiness of the second, independent review adds to the suspicion. |
