Pakistan might not play WC in India

[King Cricket]

Now, we did capture many terror suspects, and like I said earlier, one was captured with AK-47s and other guns, along with a grenade in the bathroom (don't ask me, I don't know), bloody shirts, etc as well as very local maps with lines in the roads. Indian passports, and Indian ID card. He's arrested, he's still in jail.

A neutal link, PLEASE.

Well, they are all alive to my knowledge, but some are arrested.

Again, want a neutral link. And I wish you would see the video I posted here a month back. The terrorists after finishing the operation, smartly crossed the road, took their bikes and very smartly went away. No policemen, no civilian did anything to them. What were the security forces doing that time?

Pakistan doesn't own these "terrorists"

Neither do India own the "extremists"

 

[Harrypotter_fan]

Funny all the terrorists choose Pakistan as their base, isn't it zMario? Maybe because they know they are 'safe' (Pakistak signing truces with them) there.

 

[shravi]

Come on. Just leave it. You're all ganging up on him. It's sort of unfair and it's obvious he will retaliate if so many people are against him. zMario knows that the common Indian isn't an extremist and nor do they beat up Pakistani journalists (or so I think). We know that the common Pakistani isn't a terrorist. Let's just leave it at that. There are a few weak links in every country. There is no way to quanitfy which nation has more just because one nation's weak links come on the news more often.

Well said Shravi. This will never go anywhere, everyone is just going around in circles and eventually someone will go too far and the thread will be closed. You can write the script for it...

Hey guys cut it down. Instead of arguing with each other, and mudslinging, which has become part of every god damn thread that has "Pakistan" in it these days, due to both Indian and Pakistani posters alike, it is adding no value.

It will be unfortunate if Pakistan pulls out. First of all, there are in no position to bargain in International cricket. Secondly, they are indirectly shooting themselves by reducing chances of playing cricket, which is already next to zero. Thirdly, it is unfortunately BCCI that rules cricket, and to antagonise them, who have atleast supported the Asian bloc in the past, and PCB in particular, could deal the death blow to cricket there.

The fact that India is secure or not to hold cricket is best measured by other countries' willingness to tour her. It might be due to the bucks, but common sense suggests every player puts life ahead of bucks. Hence there are many examples like Warne, Smith and Watson continuing in Jaipur despite the bombings there, England resuming their tour after 26/11 etc which shows International cricket community considers India as safer than Pakistan. And fit enough to hold the WC.

In the unfortunate situation of security weakening in India, leading to many bombings across the country in the next 2 years, surely would make it a valid reason to locate the cup out of India as well, and I will support it. However as it is now, India is safe enough to hold that tournament. (Of course barring the chance that the govt falls by then, and we have another round of polls during that time!)

People are treading a very fine line at the minute. Nothing wrong with reasonable debate, but if personal insults or blatant trolling and insulting of another member's country happens, you'll be infracted. I know for a fact that a few of you are on the verge of bans due to infractions, so think very carefully what you post

Am i one of them?? By the How many infractions result a ban?? I am just curious

Very well said Shravi. I am amazed how some people can't contain their delight when something in Pakistan goes wrong, which let's admit happens a lot, and love to kick us while we're down. Its refreshing to read a post such as this after all the antagonizing posts I end up reading all the time. I find it more and more of a chore coming to this site these days and this kind of arguing (from either side really) has a lot to do with it.

yeah, I agree.

I mean, I use to hate all American people, but then I read the words of Ivan van Sertima, He inserted somethin’ in me that made me feel worthier, to love one and other.

anyways.

Pakistani/Indians/Afghani/Talibans = Humans
Islam/Hinduism/Christinity = Religions

But

Terrorist are just terrorist they are not from any countries and nor from any religion.

Damn straight. Terrorists might as well be from a different planet. The only characteristic they have with you or me is the fact that they look human. Inside they are just nothing. There is no actual humanity in there.

Moving the games out to UAE may actually be viable. How long is an average flight between Pakistan and Dubai? The only issue would be for the tourists procuring visas and the like, and the expanded travel. Although I guess going from one end of the subcontinent to another may well take longer than taking a flight from India to UAE.

The ICC shouldn't have too much issue with it either since they are trying to promote cricket in the UAE through moving their base in Dubai, etc. One issue that could occur is the UAE national team feeling shafted for not being part of the proceedings (unless they've qualified?).

Considering it is more difficult to move from India to Pakistan than India to Dubai, your suggestion is excellent. The question is, is Dubai equipped to handle all the matches scheduled to be in Pakistan? Or will the allocation trimmed?

 

[Sartaj]

it's not possible.pakistan HAVE to play in india once the security is given a nod by the ICC and it probably will be.
or else,they will be replaced by some other team like holland or scotland

I agree with 99.99% part of your post. But one thing, I just don't think that the Talibans are humans. People who can torture women and children this brutally, people who can bomb places and kill innocent people, people who treat other humans like slaves, people who can kill and murder in the name of religion, people who can torture and behead other humans who visit their territory, people who can beat and whip somebody in a public place- WHATEVER THEY ARE, they just cannot be humans. To be a human, you need to have a heart. You need to have some kindness, some humbleness, some sympathy towards your fellow humans- they totally lack all these things.
