Australia have security concers: Pulls out of Davis Cup..

Hi Vipin, here is the dichotomy. One one hand you are saying India is now safe and on the other hand only due to egotistical issue they declined that adequate security would be a problem if the IPL is held in India. Forget about the other country people would feel scared to come as an encroacher even from Bangladesh thinhkingthat when and where landmine would burst and they go pieces. There is nothing so embarrassing when domestic matches are being held in a different country. Is our security system so weak? Then why not Pakistan attack India and make this Hindustan a Pakistan? shame. Yes Australia would surely pull out the matches and they are ok. You have no word against Australia or any country if they say they are not coming to India for fear of lack of security. They have all right to point out at the IPL. Now tell me how would you blame any country now?

Not the big surprise because if IPL is gone outside the country due to security reason then its automatically gives wrong signal to other countries also that its not safe for the time being inspite of so much assurance from india leadership. they only speak not feel the real problem of security. As a matter of concern, Davis Cup is limited to one venue and one stadium and if there is one loop hole left by chance, and some thing will happens then what happen, shall india leadeship will be able to return back such loose and also effects others events which will be hosted some time later when some peace will return in the area.

Australians are the most coward people , They have security concerns for anything they do .I agree that indian government and media have hyped a lot in moving IPL out of india and the chain is affecting all the other games as well.

It is sad for us. Now I think IPL going out of India has prompted Tennis Australia do take such an step.But in this way they are also leveling as the other disturbed nations in the sub continent. Our Image is not made so good here.

Well, for security and safety sake, it's always wise to pull out of any competitions, unless they are able to persuade the committee to change its venue instead.. Furthermore, with the recent attack on Sri lankan players, it's quite normal for any teams to be on high alert.. Not just in cricket, just look at soccer matches around the world, there will be times whereby venue will be changed to a neutruel ground, based on safety reasons ^_^ After all, it's just a game ^_^

For the first time, i am feeling that shifting of IPL2 didn't help in gaining anything internationaly. Had that been hosted in the same country, Ozs would have not chosen to pull out from Davis cup but at the same time, I don't think that Davis cup is as big event as IPL2, so we are capable of hosting it without any problems. I don't think commonwealth will be pulled out from India as we are quite capable of hosting it, the only thing which can cause it to happen is the accidents which are happening in this country. I hope the next Govt will do something to make India a terror free country. I was quite surprised by the fact that terror attack started after Vote for Note scandle!

As regards the shifting of the Indian Premier League I think the only reason for the shifting is the timing. Both the events the IPL and the election time have clashed and none of them were flexible. It is obvious that election dates cannot change because of the tournament and on the other hand this was the only time when ICC gave the window for the tournament. So changing the schedule of the IPL would have ruined the quality of the tournament as most of the international players would have missed out. So having elections and the IPL together at the same time would have been a tough ask on the security. And managing security for both would have been very very difficult due to shortage of personnel and in that case any of the above two events could have become a terrorist target. And man they would have loved it because of the amount of coverage they would got if they were successful in their strike. Personally I feel shifting the IPL was a very rational decision and anyway why to worry next year it would be hosted in Indian soil.
