Dravid said,
We share a good relationship with Sri Lankan cricket. These are difficult times and we cannot blame anyone. Hopefully, we can bring some joy to the people here and they will have something to cheer about. Never did anyone come up and say that he wants to go home. Everyone is keen to play. Hopefully the weather will hold out from now on.

At last, Dravid’s worry has come true. He gave more emphasis on whether than bomb blast. Though the series has been abandoned, the decision of Indian cricket team was something praiseworthy. There may have some cause South Africa found, that is why, they came back home before the end of the series but they could rely on the security provided by the Sri Lankan government.
