Deplorable actions by a few hotheads trying to make a name for themselves - although I suspect they are also all trying to avoid the court appearances which they should have. I don't know if other teams would have cancelled their tours, but it doesn't matter: it's not other teams who are involved, it's Pakistan, and well done to them for shrugging the incident off in this way. Hopefully the police will follow up appropriately. There are several hundred million people in India who, I am sure, want to see the cricket and bear no ill will to the visitors.
