just get ur heads clear. as raj is mentioning its players who have to take the choice. there is no ban on any who wants to play.
IND is a big country even american military can do zero to prevent any bomb blasts here. in other side attachs in IND are not that easy as u guys think. if u come out and watch a cric match in IND u will knw the level of secutiry checks through which u hav to go through. the only way a terror attach to be carried out would be through air

hockey ? who give a flying fuk about hockey ?

ind is a big country or a small country doesnt matter the point here is, whatever the fuk u say some overseas players are scared to go to india coz of those bomb blasts and ponting is one of em. so stop giving excuses pansy !

money isnt everything !

I also remember...during the 1st auction...he didnt get too much money & after the auction he hit a 100. He told that maybe if the auction had happened after his 100...he could have been near Symonds contract amount. Make ur own deduction as to why Pointing is so bitter

Maybe that was reason ponting saying all that. but it's not just about ponting. i was talking in generally.
if any overseas player says he dont wanna go to ind due to secutiry reasons u know what that means.
SL also had similar situation like this before, the war end. but not anymore.

Each player had signed big $$$ contracts. Period. They fear that they will lose that money. Where is Modi here involved.

^ even if modi was a billionare he couldnt do a such thing dude, and i bet those overseas players have seen bigger deals than this IPL ( except asians )

yes players who not coming wont get any money. and i dont think it's only ponting. or is it ?

Don't know the present situation.

and look what Warne said >

"The threats of the past 24 hours have certainly got me thinking twice and is of deep concern to athletes across several sports," Warne told the Herald Sun.
"If the threats are proven to be real, then organisers of the IPL may look at moving the tournament.
"We moved it last year at short notice, so it can be done. There is no way organisers will risk the safety of players and officials."
