Pressure on the English Cricketers

Almost everyone including the ECB appear to have decided to continue the interrupted Indian tour. With influential cricketers like Atherton demanding that, England should send only the best team; players like Flintoff and Harmison are left with no choice but return to India.

The pressure will mount once the security report Okays the tour. One really feels for these players. It is sad that the decision is out of their hands. For if they baulk now they will be accused of being selfish.

R,

It is a possibility, but the pressure on those who want to stay back must be incredible.

I am for the continuance of the series.

India will surely miss him.

I doubt the public there by large will look at him as selfish. From all the discussions in various British forums, they don't.

So it is ok.
