Australia announces their pull-out after dilly-dallying soon after Gen. Musharraf stepped back. In the eyes of the western world, and many others, I feel there was a feeling that it was safer with Musharraf in command than a civilian elected government which may or may not be able to control both the army and people. I think that was the precipitating factor in the Ozzie pull-out. CT could have been potponed if they really felt the sitaution, despite the ICC clearance, was not good. I want it to go on if it has to...for I think the "world" was never in favour of CT anyway right from beginning and were looking for excuses to bunk it forever....Pakistan's security issue is one such excuse and the growth of T20 will be another...which the "world" thinks can stick.
