India Will continue to Play In Australia - God Knows Why!

Indian tour of Australia is on, unfortunately. After being at the receiving end of such despairingly poor umpiring decisions and then the imposition of the 3 match ban on Harbhajan Singh, wild rumors floated that the Indian team would not be travelling to Canberra. However it seems that is not yet the case. I really wonder what the Indian board is really waiting for to call off the tour! Maybe the murder of a player or two?

This tour has smacked of conspiracy from Day-One, no Day -45, when the Aussies went back from India and accused that Symmonds had been subjected to racial abuse. What do the Aussies know of racial abuse? Andrew Symmonds had been subjected to mild teasing at best, definitely not racial abuse. When Andre Agassi had famously said that Pete Sampras looks like someone who hangs upside down from a tree, no one had accused him of racial abuse!!! And Symmonds attitude was a come-on! Though why should the match referee believe the word of a player (Symmonds) who doesnt walk when the ball has nicked, nay come almost off the middle of the bat, and the umpire turns a blind eye; the word of a captain who picks up a ball from the ground and claims a catch, so desperate is he for the win, is beyond most Indians. There were seven bad -no entirely wrong- decisions against India and at least four decisions for Australia when their batsmen weren't given out. I know all's fair in modern games these days, so an Indian walk-off would complete the fairness of the situation.

So what exactly is the Board waiting for to call off the tour, I ask again. Its obvious this Aussie side can go to ANY extent. Call off the tour - period.
