Australian Tour of Pakistan Still in Doubt

[MattW]

The Australian cricket team's tour to Pakistan later this month remains in doubt despite talks in Canberra today.

Cricket Australia (CA) general manager Michael Brown and Australian Cricketers' Association (ACA) chief executive Paul Marsh met with officials from the Department of Foreign Affairs to discuss security.

Several Australian players have expressed concerns about their safety after recent violence in Pakistan.

Yesterday a suicide attack happened in Lahore, one of the four centres Pakistan officials had suggested as safe venues for the month-long tour.

What the hell does that mean :

''Oh, so we'll just send the second string of players because we don't want out first string playters being bombed''

Either go or don't go. Sending a second string side is hypocritical.

 

[iloveireland]

Players safety should come first. The Aussies shouldnt go (players or supporters).

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Ya and danger means danger for all Players,Team A players and for fans also..
So I think If team is not going then thats all..But you can't send second string side..

 

[iloveireland]

The country aint stable. We should even consider sending a team of janitors.

 

[RoboRocks]

It doesn't look safe at all to me. Really Australia can't risk going to Pakistan at the moment.

No, send them. They might actually clean some stuff up!

The country aint stable. We should even consider sending a team of janitors.

Why would we want to do that? We don't want to give Pakistan a chance at actually winning something remember.

 

[vaibhav mehta]

Ya Reality stays Aussis have not beaten them at home from past ten years!!!

 

[Will_NA]

Isn't that because they haven't played them in Pakistan for 10 years?
