I put together a post the other day about how England were being taught a lesson in one day cricket by an Indian side at the top of their game, but before I could post it we had the horrific news about terrorist attacks in Mumbai.So the England team head home for now, which is probably the best thing since the final one-dayers were cancelled. I would imagine that the players would be climbing up the walls in their hotel rooms with increased security around them probably not giving them much space to do anything. It is better to come home, and either relax and recharge, or get in the nets. What happens to the test series is currently up in the air (since one of the tests was supposed to be in Mumbai), so hanging around in a foreign country when you might not even have any cricket to play at the end makes little sense.It is a shame for the Indian crowds that had gathered to watch us get beaten in the first five one-dayers they were probably enjoying it! However, security is obviously number one in these situations and you can’t blame the players for jumping on the plane whilst the heat is still on.Lets hope that a certain sense of normality returns to the streets soon and we can get back out there and regain some pride in a test series!
