‘Traumatised’ England head back to India

Well, not quite. They’re stopping over at Abu Dhabi to defrost, before arriving in India some time next week. Or later this week. Or (and this is highly unlikely) not at all.
Dominic Cork is always good for a quote or seven, but his sensationalistic words today were a little over-the-top. At least, I hope they were. He claims some of the England players were traumatised by the events in India. In no way am I suggesting the terrorism was anything other than vile, and yes I appreciate India’s television showed the true horror, but were they really traumatised? I hope not, for their sake, because the next couple of weeks are going to be pretty bloody awful for them.
I wonder what effect this will have on the cricket, by both teams. It could degenerate into a bit of a farce, or perhaps have the feeling of a charity match. Let’s just hope that, for once, India can pack the grounds full to bursting and give England a warm and welcoming reception.
And by the by, three cheers to Kevin Pietersen. The past few weeks have been a total nightmare for him and England, yet he’s shown diplomacy, honesty and been almost totally positive about everything. Extra turkey and bread sauce for him this year.
