Breaking News: BG Trophy in Danger

Eat Cricket, Sleep Cricket, Drink Cricket

This is the first thing I read on logging in.

BCCI has asked the Indian team to stay in Sydney until the Harbhajan hearing, rather than travel to Perth for the the third test.

Under ICC rules, member countries are obliged to fulfil their tour contracts except when the security of the players is at risk or the touring team’s government orders that the tour should not proceed.

India could also be liable to reimburse Cricket Australia for any losses incurred.
Cricket Australia faced the possibility of a similar fine if it boycotted the tour of Zimbabwe last year.

However, there was another report this morning from Sydney Morning Herald confirming that India won’t pull out of the tour.

The Indian cricket team has confirmed it will not make the contentious move of pulling out of the Australian tour after their spinner Harbhajan Singh was slapped with a three-Test ban.

What the heck? You are confused again, Ozzies.
