[sid_19840]

After the blast happened yesterday near the team hotel,the South African team seems like they are considering not going ahead with the ODI Series for security reasons and going back home.Infact the match to be held today between South Africa and Sri Lanka has already been called off due to safety of the players.

The match yesterday was called off due to rain. It will be played again today, subject to weather, unless the South Africans pull out. In that event, a bilateral series will probably be organized on the fly.

EDIT: I think I misread you. Maybe the match today is called off. :P

Yeah I just read it on NDTV. Well that sucks. The series is in jeopardy, as I predicted.

The Sri Lankans have a Civil War on their hands. It will be hard for Western countries to tour Sri Lanka if the sad state of affairs continues.

The Sri Lankans asked for it though by treating Tamils so badly for so long.

If South Africa agrees to play in Tri Series then the first match which was abondoned will be played on 29th august.Rest of the series will be with the same schedule.

Say to see any cricket match being called off.
Hopefully this bomb situation can be sorted out quickly and cricket in Sri Lanka can continue

That's a shame that incidents caused by stupid people have to get in the way of cricket.
