seedhi Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 I disagree. Bomb was found outside the stadium. So it was necessary to check the stadium before evacuating them. My only concern is 30000 people didn't hear the explosion?When the bomb blast took place it should have become clear that the stadium/surroundings were not properly sanitized. Also, the previous terror attack in Bangalore in 2008 also involved several small bombs dispersed at different places. It was only incidental that no bomb was planted inside the stadium, but the police could not have been sure of it. That should have been enough for the police to call off the match.

achilles Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Guys, KP does not deserve this flak. I'm sure he is entitled to his opinion. After all, he would have been a sitting duck if the ****ers had planned something bigger than this. To put things in perspective, KP was the team captain, when England decided to come back to India to play the 2 test matches right after the Mumbai attacks. How many teams would have shown the guts to tour a country, a couple of week after something like the Mumbai attacks? They were forced to come back to India. Don't you know? Didn't want to play Test series after 26/11 attacks: Flintoff To give credit to KP, he wanted to come back. But as for your post, this is how it stands and this is what actually transpired. As for the no. of teams, well Australia stayed on despite Damien Martyn and a lot of Aussies not wanting to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mastana Posted April 18, 2010 Author Share Posted April 18, 2010 :hysterical::hysterical::hysterical::hysterical: I think Bangalore police and IPL authorities did absolutely the right thing by letting the match go on .. read the comments in that article too and all the UK people are also saying the match should go on .. if you succumb to terrorist ploys then you are accepting defeat and giving them encouragement .. feck the **** out of terrorists ... consensus is a fair method and I dont see anything wrong in it .. BRC players were cry babies including Kumble who said they were disturbed .. on the other hand look MI players who did not give a **** about anything .. anyways many of the internationals are WI players who never give a **** about all these and were the first to support IPL in India this year .. others are mostly Lankans who anyways have faced LTTE for ages .. MI are a strong unit both mentally and in performance and they are progressing .. BRC are cry babies and hence struggling Regarding Kallis and KP, feck them .. the situation in SA is not any good either and FIFA had always been telling about the security in SA .. but we supported them always and L Modi even took on FIFA for SA's sake Do you think Anil Kumble and Vijay Mallaya convinced KP and Kaillis by telling them to feck off because it happens in their country also?

Gunner_Mania Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 So why did Kevin Pietersen continue to be a part of the English Ashes squad in 2005 despite the 7/7 London bombings? Hypocrite. because it was in England.
