Just reported on FOX that the Indians are now staying in Sydney and not going to a scheduled match in Canberra.
They are awaiting further instructions on whether or not they will go home !!!

Soft.
They are just scared of facing Tait at the WACA!!
Why is it ok for them to do as they please but as soon as something pisses them off they have a cry?

Because they're Indians.

The Aussies could face a $2 million dollar fine for not going to Pakistan - but India can just pick up there ball and bat and go home any time and nothing will happen to them !!!
The fact they are threating it is an even bigger joke !!!

They are amazingly hypocritical.
Kumble whinges about Clarke standing his ground after edging to slip.
Their number 11 stood his ground after edging the final delivery of the match.
Kumble didn't mention that.
I just thought of another thing.... if they decide to run home now... does that mean the final two Tests are forfeited and we get the world record?

Ya don't have to be John Riley to realize that that was a response to the Clarke goings on .Ganguly did the same and these were all after the Clarke incident.Kumble was dead right in his comment on that one .Clarke should be embarrassed about his actions on that one .no excuse

So it is ok for the Indians to do it because Clarke did it?
If they were so upset by that shouldn't they be setting a good example?

All bets were off at that stage .Clarke started the rot and I can see why they wanted to make a point of how ridiculous it looked .

Terrible effort if they went home.
I would not think so mate, i would presume that we would just stay on 16 wins until we play our next test. Could be wrong though.

The Indians have suspended their tour pending the outcome of their appeal on Harbajhan's penalty.
Gee i wonder what will happen

Gee this is pathetic!
One of their players racially abuses one of ours, gets punished, now they suspend the tour.
The BCCIICC will overturn this decision to allow the tour to go ahead and say "Racism in sport is ok".

That is bad if thats the case.I still think the history with Bucknor and India is what got the ball rolling and he has stayed true to form .ICC inaction has helped fuel this one but still no excuse for a threat to cancel a tour ..poor form.

Well, it just goes to show that there are big withdrawal symptoms as soon as the silver spoon that feeds India gets taken away.
Compare this to Darren Lehmann when he got suspended. He copped it on the chin, and moved on. Not only that, he apologised straight after he said it too.

The ICC could have ended this issue months ago. But look where we are.
