I wish he would shut up.He doesn't represent any of the countries involved,nor does FICA represent any of the countries involved,and if the touring country is satisfied with the security arrangements,then Tim May needs to remove the cork stuck up his ass.

Tim May, the chief executive of the players' representative body Federation of International Cricketers' Association, has criticised the ICC's recommendation that it could amend rules by not sending its match officials to countries with security concerns but allowing a series in that country to continue.


i dunno know that seems pretty fine. if the icc doesn't think it's safe enough to send it's own staff.......

 

[BoyBrumby]

Nah, May's on the money here. If the ICC considers the concerns are legitimate enough to amend its own rules regarding officialdom May would be neglecting his duty of care to his members if he didn't speak out.

 

[Spark]

Yeah seems pretty reasonable to me. If it's not good enough for the officials, why's it good enough for the players?

 

[Agent Nationaux]

I don't think anyone should be touring until the country is safe and that there are no more attacks.

I don't think anyone should be touring until the country is safe and that there are no more attacks.

Absolutely. The last time a team decided to tour us, we assured them of "Presidential level security" and almost got them killed. We have zero credibility on the issue. If the ICC or FICA determines that it's still not safe to tour, then how can we question them? I feel for the people of Pakistan and all the players that can't play at home. However, it's my personal opinion that we're not ready to host and I'm going to be on pins and needles the entire time the Bangladeshi team is in Pakistan.

 

[Furball]

IMO it's ridiculous that Bangladesh are touring.

 

[cricdude]

i think bangladesh should tour pakistan, how can they prove themeselves then

 

[Spikey]

how can they prove themselves IF THEY GET KILLED?!?!?!?!?

 

[Daemon]

at least they will die trying

 

[G.I.Joe]

IMO the Lankans should be sent to test the waters, so to speak.

 

[Spikey]

yeah let's see if they really want their pay

 

[Quaggas]

And Bowden for Ump... got the sixshooter dance down.

Bangers saying that they aren't going now unless the ICC sends officials. They are like why should we be the only ones to risk our lives. Good luck Simon Taufel.

I'm glad the Bangladeshi's aren't touring. Thank you ICC and FICA for potentially saving a few lives.
