Lalit Modi has responded to the growing hysteria over the security of foreign players in the 2010 IPL by saying that the CEO of Cricket South Africa, Gerald Majola, is "most satisfied" with the security arrangements. In a status update on his official Twitter page, Modi wrote the following: "Security is our top most priorty. Just finished meeting with Cricket South africa ceo. He is most satisfied with the arrangement." Player unions in England, Australia and South Africa are getting their silky panties in a twist over the report written by the England team's security advisor Reg Dickason, who claims there is indeed a credible threat to the tournament from terrorist groups. The Aussies are reportedly wielding handbags at each other over the right way to go, with Ricky Ponting's contracted minions leaning towards pulling out and former stars led by Shane Warne, Matthew Hayden and Adam Gilchrist advocating a triumphant return to the subcontinent. South Africa has been strangely quiet on the issue, bar one or two moans from Graeme Smith that nobody really listened to. Modi, however, seems convinced that the South African camp is happy and winging it to Delhi as we speak. I certainly haven't heard Gerald Majola complaining about anything. Ultimately it's the players who have to decide, a decision that could cost them millions if they decide to withdraw. Word on the (cold, mean) street is that players who pull out will be banned from future editions of the IPL, so it's a big career decision. If it was me, I'd go. As Modi rightly pointed out: nobody on Earth can absolutely guarantee safety. All they can do is provide the very best, most professional security possible. Thereafter, it's up to fate. If the world takes dictation from these filthy pigs who pollute our planet with their hatred and evil - they win. All you can do is go about your business, earn an honest dollar and hope like hell it's not you who cops it. Screw 'em, man.
