This is just outright ridiculous. Do you really think that Pakistan will lose to Australia in the semifinals, just because CA promised to tour Pakistan? This allegation is as baseless as the one we had when New Zealand pulled out of the Pakistan tour. Back then, a lot of people here were saying that the BCCI asked New Zealand to pull out. Later it was proved that it was the New Zealand government which was behind the decision. And although CA has made the announcement, I am still not 100% sure about the tour. Some of the Australian players have already made negative statements about it.

Australia themselves have made them loo suspicious by announcing the tour just before the semi final . They were not visiting Pakistan even before 9/11 happened when all teams were happily visiting Pakistan and now all of sudden things changed. In the end its the decision of CA that matters not the players, if a player doesn't want to tour Pakistan then I am sure CA has replacement of that player. Even Pakistani coach is Australia Mathew Hayden.
Prime Minister of Pakistan sad that the reason for NZ tour cancellation was threat that originated from India, so we cant ignore the fact that BCCI is behind NZ tour cancellation.

I think those allegations were correct. Australia did win the semifinals and Pakistan did lose it. Now, what happened back door no one will ever know. If the Australian team now cancels the tournament then I am sure many interesting news we will hear. Time to wait and watch.
