Consistent decision.

Right decision.

But sad to see cricket suffer due to some isolated nutters actions.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

The right decision.

 

[duffer]

100% spot on decision, will be hilarious to see people try and argue otherwise. It poses an interesting question on the future of cricket in general though if India which is now the cash cow of modern cricket is deemed a no-go zone for the game.

Bring on the football revolution for mine.

Even though this is a valid excuse but I think there might be some relief in the English camp after the pasting they were getting and would get in the future games.

Fair decision imo.

That is a shocking attitude.

That is a shocking attitude.

You got me wrong buddy.

I am not saying they must be happy that this happened but they would be relieved in a way they don't have to do any more leather chasing, it was already taking a toll on the team.

Jonathan Agnew saying on TV that the England players are scheduled to stay where they are for 24h while a decision is made.

I think that is a fair enough comment.

The decision is the right one and Im sure is made for all the right reasons but it did also come at the right time from an England cricketing POV.

It's certainly a consistent decision, given the wide berth Pakistan is now given by touring sides, so kudos to that. If, indeed, it actually has been called off, in light of four_or_six's above post.

Interesting where things now stand re IPL/ICL.

As evidenced by this thread so far.

Absolutely fair decision, can't blame them at all.

 

[Precambrian]

BCCI says tour is put on hold, and the remaining two ODIs postponed.

It expects to salvage the test though,

[masterblaster]

Absolutely the fair decision here. How relieved must the families of the English players be. Cricket doesn't matter in times like these.

Haha yeah. There'll always be a couple though...

 

[biased indian]

Ok good decision the tour has not been cancelled altogether and only the irrelevent ODI's has been callled off ...and think they will be now leaving india and will come back to play the test matches..

 

[archie mac]

On the TV here in Aust. conflicting reports, some say they have already left India. Others that they are going to still play the Tests

England calls off tour

Good decision, I'm sure they could have been waiting for a chance like this or of any kind, to bunk the series after their poor performance, they have nothing to play in the series now, so they decided to call it off the series. better luck next time England..
