"The Indian government, severely criticised by the opposition for supposedly linking the cricket tour of Pakistan to the forthcoming elections, has given a tentative go-ahead for the series. The initiative was taken by Atal Behari Vajpayee, India's Prime Minister, and Yashwant Sinha, the External Affairs minister, said as much in New Delhi this morning, leaving the BCCI with the onerous task of convincing several reluctant players to tour."

That was the first good news I read after getting home from another edition of Bachelor's Night Out. The Board has a seriously difficult task up its sleeve but as much as I don't trust the Pakistani terrorists and recognize credible threats against some of our top players, the final decision should rest upon the shoulders of the concerned individuals, but otherwise they should be allowed to go and play.
The other good news:
