Re: India withdraw from New Zealand tour
Does that mean that when indian team is not "comfortable" against a side, for whatever reason, they would refuse to play aganist them? Even if pakistan is the arch rival, and losing against Pakistan was humiliating, still it does not justify their decision of not playing with us.
India have an impressive record against Australia during the last 3-4 years. However I strongly think if India will play with Australia this year in Australia (I don't know the ICC plans for australia versus India for 2006), australia is going to thrash them big time. If that happens, will India be telling the world that they are not playing against Australia in Australia since they are not "comfortable" facing australia.
It reminds me of old days when we were 5-6 years old and as long as some one (not our GS guppy :D ) was batting well, everything use to look fine. But immediately after getting out, that kid use to throw the bat away and say " Jao, hum nahin khailtay thumharay saath"
