I have all the respect for the family who lost loved one here.It must be tragic for them.But I am questioning how far we should go to show our sympathy to the family.Is it advisible to Observe one minute silence in honour of people who died in Soham.I can understand that for the head of a nation or for some cricketting genious or for some disaster.But if we start doing it for all tragedies that happens everyday then where is the line to draw. I mean in a country like India or Pakistan tragedy happens everyday,someone dies every other day.Are we gonna do it for every incident?will the game be stopped everyday for 1 minute silence?
Just wana know what do you guys think??
============================================================
The England and India cricket teams will join together tomorrow (Saturday) in observing a minute’s silence in honour of the tragic deaths of the 10-year-old girls, Holly Wells and Jessica Chapman.
The minute’s silence will take place at 1.38pm at Headingley, just prior to the beginning of the afternoon’s play in the third Test match.
John Read, Director of Corporate Affairs at the ECB, said: “The whole country has been shocked by the horrific events that have unfolded in the village of Soham over the past three weeks. In our own very small way, this minute’s silence is cricket’s way of showing profound sympathy for the parents of Holly and Jessica. We cannot fully appreciate the depths of despair and sheer sorrow that they are feeling, but we can show that we care.”
