England tour called off
The Engish team which is on a tour to India today has cancelled the tour due to the terrorist attacks in Mumbai.England team which is trailing in the series 5-0 had still 2 ODIs to play and 2 tests too.This comes as a total shock for the Indian public in general who thought that England will return home without even a win in India. As always the England players who fear for their safety in any place have decided to return home and its a good way of saving their face.
