The crisis surrounding the Indian tour of Australia seems to have blown over, if temporarily, with the Indian board, whose top brass met in New Delhi on Tuesday night, saying the tour would continue "for the present". In Sydney, the Indian team prepared to travel to Canberra.
With the issue of umpire Steve Bucknor resolved earlier in the day, the crucial decision before the board's working committee was to frame a response to the three-Test ban on Harbhajan Singh. It had come under severe pressure from the players to take a strong stand on the issue and there were fears it would make the tour conditional to a clean chit for Harbhajan but its eventual public statement allowed wriggle room for all sides.
