There was a lot of flak flying around on BBC 606 forums a while back when teams were refusing to tour Pakistan. Basically there were claims the aussies were picking and choosing where was safe because of attacks when they toured England in 2005 and they didn't go home. Now the aussies have been proven right in their decision not to tour Pakistan, fortunately the Sri Lankan team didn't suffer any fatalities. There was also stick over people (England) deciding India was safe and Pakistan wasn't. I think the safety of the cricketers is paramount.
Unfortunately terrorism doesn't need it's own TV station and media network to succeed, it has the worldwide media that works on its behalf. The s*y channels on freeview 82 and 83 focused very heavily on that attack, partly why I don't watch the news is because it's all depressing and causes panic. Do we really need credit crunch articles on every f in news programme?
