England are home but for what decision

England dropped down at Heathrow a couple of hours ago, so that means they are at the moment safe from the big boom bombs, in Mumbai. Will they be back, well who's knows, I don't! Officials from both England and India are adamant that the Test series will go ahead, particularly after the BCCI agreed to shift the second Test from Mumbai to Chennai after a request from the ECB. Is that enough though?, to me it sounds like no. It also sounds like Mr Pietersen doesn't want to go, but knows that if the team go he has to go or it'll look like hes a wuss.

He says:

We need to make sure the security's right - but if it's not safe then we won't be coming back," "People are their own people, I'll never force anyone to do anything or tell them to do anything against their will. On the field I may ask people to do things in a certain way but people run their own lives. We'll have to see how the security is.
"I do think the BCCI will make every single effort to get us back here playing Test-match cricket in India. There are TV rights and financial considerations and they run world cricket don't they? But we will not come back to India if it's not safe. My life means more to me than anything else and I won't come back if it's not safe."

Sean Morris, the chief executive of the Professional Cricketers' Association, said the ultimate decision on the tour will rest with the ECB. "It won't be down to the players, it'll be down to the ECB ultimately, and we are comfortable with that, We have worked very well with our board in the past, so we are confident of the processes involved and with the people who provide the information."

There is the strong possibility of a weakened England side returning to India if players make individual decisions on whether to tour. There is a precedent for that, as following the 9/11 attacks in 2001 Robert Croft and Andrew Caddick opted out of the India tour.
