No. I wouldn't. I am kind of undecided, however in the end I know I wouldn't be concentrating on Cricket. I would find it impossible with the political state of their country. I'd give the tour a miss, and train back in Australia.

For example, Dan Cullen saying the young players should back the senior ones:

We had a similar situation in the 2003 WC when our blokes refused to go to Zimbabwe. From what I read at the time Alec Stewart was of the opinion we should've gone, played & left with as little fuss as possible, but towed the party line for the sake of unity when the majority didn't want to.
Obviously Stewie was a v senior pro by then, but same sort of point, anyway.

Yes, definitely. Probably wouldn't do it if I had kids though.

Look its a tricky question, if were a player who's place in the side is secured then i might not be too keen to travel to Pakistan, but if i am were to be rookie who could get a chance to play for his country and make a mark at international level than i won't even think twice before going to play cricket in any god damn place in the world.
Anyways lets get real, the world that we all are living in atm, no place can be termed as safe, terrorism is not just a problem that the sub-continent faces, its a global issue and if one just turns their back on it that's not going to change anything, to bombs are going of in the sub-continent, but in the near future the same could happen in Australian, English or South African cities, in the ideal scenario if the security is upto the mark then, i would like to see every team sending in their full strength squads, to send out a message to these maniacs that you can't scare us, but that of course is a lot easier for me say.
