Agree with all these points, especially point two.Just 3 quick points to make:
1. Unfortunate decision by Cricket Australia not to tour Pakistan. One can understand fully from the point of view of the families of the Aussie cricketers, given that the only source of information about the place were from the media.
2. More unfortunate is the action by ICC. No official explanation sought for cancellation of tour. I think ICC should have arranged for a neutral security agency having the endorsement of both Australian and Pakistan boards and assess the security situation in Pakistan. Neither you or me can make a 100% perfect judgement from sitting outside Pakistan.
3. If Cricket Australia doesnt honor its commitment to do the tour in November / December (Hee Hee- Peak of Australian Home season) , then its in contravention of the ICC touring guidelines and Pakistan Cricket Board has every right to claim compensation for the same.
CA should be doing everything in their power to arrange another tour, if they're found to be dragging their feet in the future then the PCB have every right to be upset.
