In the Name of Cricket: What are the Australian's doing in India by September 23?

09/09/2008

This is outrageous. If one were to believe cricinfo, the Australian cricket team is set to arrive in India by September 23.

I demand to know why they are in India by September 23, when the actual tour starts only on October 9.

I strongly protest their early arrival and request the GOI to permit them into the country only if they agree to supply uranium.

Looks like aus is taking this series very seriously. First Chappel turned a spy, then the visit of Aus A team and now the senior team arriving early. They are afraid of us man...hehehe; 09/09/2008, 17:07

Firstly a warm welcome.

Yep that is also a possibility. They may use the time to swing new commercial deals.; 09/09/2008, 18:14
