Rajasthan Royals' Warne, Watson, Smith and team manager Darren Berry -- now holidaying in Goa -- are very scared after the incident and are refusing to return to Jaipur. They are even considering leaving India altogether.
"(There's) a real option of getting on the plane and getting out of here. We are not comfortable at all. This is an extremely uncomfortable situation," Berry was quoted as saying by Macquarie National News.
Berry said his family members in Australia were concerned about his safety in India.
"Cricket has been good to me, but I have a wife and three kids back in Melbourne and they are less than impressed with the part of the world I am in."
Berry said Warne was also worried due to the bomb blasts that killed more than 60 people in the Pink City.
"I was talking to Warnie and asked, 'If this blast had occurred a day before we were due to fly over here, would we still have come?', he said there was no way we would have come.
"It is terrifying. To think I was standing in the exact location the bombs went off only two days ago...it was a couple of kilometres from the team hotel.
"The whole country has gone into lockdown."
Rajasthan Royals are next meeting Bangalore Royal Challengers in their home leg encounter on May 17 and although IPL commissioner Lalit Modi has assured that extra security will be put in place for the tie, Berry is anxious about the evening.
"That is the part that scares me. "These games are getting big crowds. People over here tell me this has nothing to do with cricket, it is political but if some people are prepared to cause this type of damage, detonating bombs in peak-hour to harm the most number of people possible...50,000 people come to the stadium to watch the games," Berry said.
If anything could possibly seeem to be evident as a real motive for the Jaipur bombings is the 'butterflies-in-stomach' syndrome for cricketers from Australia playing for Rajasthan Royals. They are obviously not to be blamed for they come as sincere guests to play in the best of the cirkcet format to hit India so far. They have every reason to feel let down. Such was the effect of the very word terrorism. The investigation into the blasts having not finished yet conclusively I could hazard a guess in connection to the crime from sources which definetley did not like the sport let alone the IPL sensation. The authourities now could turn their eyes on a possible source for example the excluded country or countries in the whole IPL format or rejected players from a specific country etc. Hope my letter rings a few bells to the right quarters. Being a sport loving person I wish IPL wins ultimately in the whole bargain and wish players and audience in India good luck.
Australians in the name of security always try 2 humilate south asians.Thats what they did by not coming 2 Pakistan despite the fact that Pakistan cricket Board gave them surity for their security.Now again this white chicks is tryin 2 show as if he is in risk.No body is goin 2 harm u SHAME WARN.U r useless.Now get the hell out of India.Get lost.
After terrorist attack in USA thousands of whites from Australia went to USA to show their solidarity with white Americans. No Australian TV channel has given even passing fererence to Jaipur bombing. Let these white parasites go.

Barry if you are not getting tickets for Melbourne I can help you with that. You come here for work and not to serve us in India. If you dont feel comfortable we are happy to relieve you from Rajathan team and there are lot of ready replacements, so dont bother thinking too much...just buzz of and dont ever talk about India like this.

Why is he saying the whole country is in lockdown? Apart from anger,frustration and sadness over this, life continues as always. The Aussies seem to scare very easily. If you want to work in India, then please get used to our reality.If "Wife and children are less than impressed" with India, why come here at all? The money right? Chalo ab kaam karo. Even if wife approves of New York dont forget, Towers can fall there too.
Yes guys u have choice to go to safe haven in ur country. This has become part of our life as indians thank to terrorits we have within india and neighbors supporting them.However, in present situation this can happen anywhere. It is just matter of time when these fanatics chooses the targets far and wide. There is no perfectly safe place...not even ur homeland.
