i hope that India isn't invited and doessn't play there.Already india has played enough oneday cricket with pakistan, and they are suppose to play another series with pakistan in feb.if every third onedayer happen to be between India and Pakistan then Indo-pak matches will lose its charm

*wedges tongue in cheek*

Maybe they should ban the WI from playing Test cricket.........

Remember the last nation with a widespread contractual dispute.........

Yah, but the political figurehead in the suggested country didn't seem willing to aid the situation. The CARICOM heads of govenement are all willing to aid the situation with some sort of intervention if necessary.

Yes, yes it wasn't a serious comment. I know. I had to respond though.

 

[LongHopCassidy]

That's the spirit.

It appears everything will proceed with a Lara/Sarwan/Browne/Gayle/Bradshaw inclusive side.

Hugs and kisses and whatnot - players reinstated.

I sure hope so, I'm really looking forward to the series. But are they definitely all included for the tour though? The article seems only to refer to the pre-tour camp, which is what the Age was reporting yesterday...

The way the local media has been portaying it, it seems they're safe to tour, as the dispute was essentially about the invitation contracts rather than the actual tour contracts.

Cricinfo also says that Australia 'A' might be considered for the tournament. It would no longer be a completely international tournament, but I still think it would be competitive for all three sides, and I'd very much like to see it happen.

And have a Australia v Australia 'A' final like last time and where we had Australians wanting Australia 'A' win instead

Seems good for me.
