THOUGH cricket fans will be saddened by the postponement of the 20-20 Champions League and the cancellation of the last two India vs England one-dayers, the game is lucky not to lose anyone through the terrorist attacks in Mumbai.

The BCCI’s auditor was saved; ditto Dean Kino, the Cricket Australia lawyer. And Shane Warne would have been one of the victims had he arrived a day earlier for the Rajasthan Royals press conference.

Farokh Engineer, the former India wicketkeeper was fortunate too. Engineer was in the city for a business meeting and was advised not to stay at the Taj to avoid the traffic for his suburban meetings. So, he stayed at the Hyatt.

Good fortune is sure shining on cricketers.

save india
Let us get real and accept that - all terrorists are muslims - india is second most bombed country after iraq and ask these questions 1) why such a collosal failure of intelligence 2) how long can this government hide behind excuses like the incidents are due to kandahar, etc, etc 3) what did ATS chief do all this time? chasing sadhvis and purohits? 4) how can the ATS chief walk into terrorists? who brainwashed him to think that terrorists are saffron clad hindus with prasad in their hand 5) why the whole military and police took so long to end the seige? why did the operation fair so badly compare to similar operations in the world like entebe, london building hijacking in the past, etc 6) why the hostages died in nariman? if there are hostages there should have been negotiations - why it did not happen? did government prefer them dead to avoid embarrasement of negotiations? would this be the case if the hostages were congress hooligans?
