A day after the serial blasts in New Delhi, came the expected: Cricket Australia (CA) will review security arrangements in India ahead of their four-Test tour.
What was unexpected though was the long delay CA officials took to raise their concern (in this case more than 12 hours after the blasts took place).
Normally, the team from Down Under is quick to react and chicken out at the slightest instance, especially when it comes to touring the sub-continent.
It will now be interesting to see and anticipate the events which will unfold in the coming days. Pakistan and Sri Lanka have always been easy meat for the Aussies. But, can they really afford to upset world cricket's most richest and powerful body like the BCCI? So far, none of Ponting's men have expressed their reservations on touring India.
Maybe because their chief spokesperson (who usually takes guard on such occasions) has been left out of the touring party already and is probably busy fishing somewhere in the Gold Coast hinterland!
