i think:

Input = Any Pitch Output = Cricket , they shud do enything but scrap the series

Pcb can go down many routes here

playing in a neutral venue such as abu dhabi i dont know what else is possible considering we are wanting home support

scrap series completely , and take charge against the aussies board

the list goes on.....

The fact is all pakistanis want to see some cricket like myself , wateva route they go down i just want to see pak face australia , they are talking soo much crap , zimbabwe toured pak no problems faced so why they making such a farce

scrap??? does not make sense

australian are gone mad man............some one plz tell them pakistanis hate bush howard and blair .........not ponting haiden and simond............even if there are so called terroist in pakistan what will they get by killing aussie team ......they must b waiting for some tough cricket too......lols

i dont see where the problem is...australian and pakistani relations have been fine last time i checked...even english and pakistani relations are fine:S...ok playing in venues like peshawar since its near afghanistan and there have been reports of taliban in west pakistan but still man its not a big deal....like imran666 just said...they dont hate ponting...hayden and symonds...they got nothing towards em

dud ofcourse neutral ave.. after things happening in pakistan it is not safe for the team to go so why not a neutral ave..

any link to these news??? ,,,i dont think that this is true all i read in cricinfo was tht aussies are worried abt security in PAK..

wat would PCB gain from neutral venue, there is no revenue for PCB. PCB dun earn money by playing on neutral venue. Wat abt all the fans? y should they be deprived of coming and watching the game? If pak is not save so is SL, there is a civil war going on there no? yet all teams have played there. India doen't have terrorism problems? yet they play there. Ashes went on despite twin bombing in London while aussies were there. So y should Pakistan be different? Its simple dun wana come fine its ur choice regretable but we respect the decision same way ppl should respect our decision of not visiting the country who dun visit us.

There was direct threat to Pakistani team when they toured India mohali picth was invaded, yet Pakistan did the tour no? so y not to Pak?

i agree that if aus disagree to tour its bad....they should tour....but then the other side...that if aus dont tour pak wont tour..is not good at all..even those sort of things will affect cricket a lot........i mean wut is pak gonna say.."we arent going to tour because they didnt" thats not good enough..

Yaar,

Don't get angry upon these Terrrorism Experts.

But the real people who should be get angried upon are these Extremists


Forget the Australian Team, just see that these Extremists hesitiate not for a second to kill (or to make hostage) ANY Foreigner that they get hands too.

They simply kill the Foreigners and say these innocents people are not killed due to us, but due to Western World Policies and killing of these people is a Message to them. That is all there excuse for killling innocent People.
(And if they take any hostage, then they think they could pressurize their government to pull their armies back from Afghanistan).

Now Australian Troops are there in Afghanistan. So, how highly could they be in Dangerous Position?


Yaroo,

Forget about Cricket, while cricket is not above a Single Innocent Life.

Cricket is not going to die in Pakistan if Australian doesn't visit us. We may loose some money, but not a lot more than this.

But imagine, if whole Aussie team is going to blow up in Pakistan, then surely this would be the biggest destruction for cricket in Pakistan.


As one poster wrote above: "If these Extremists decide to kill Aussies, then no Security is going to stop them except for Allah. Just see how they got even Benazir got killed in Bomb-Proof Car.

I am not a terrorism expert, but still I believe that value of Single Innocent Life is much more precious than whole Cricket.

Neutral venues .. not a possibility, no revenues for pakistan board as cyborg mentioned, Teams have been visiting pakistan and nothing really happend and pakistani crowd have been great towards visiting teams too, If they can cheer for H. Gibbs & indian players lol then they can cheer for anyone. Security is not an issue here, Australian players are more interested in IPL bucks thats why Security Issues have been raised to cancel the tour. If Australian team cancels the team then pakistan should cancel the tour too, i highly doubt that though because PCB doesnt have the balls to stand up for its team & reputation when it matters!!!

aussies wont say no... they play anywhere.. they are champ.. they don't fear from anyone.. unless problems with their lives


AUSSIES RULE

hear hear! its the IPL aussie player wil make more money and Cricket Australia get a chance to kiss BCCI asss one more time. Thats wat it is if aussies dun play IPL BCCI won't be happy so aussies dun want that. Players want more money for less play and CA happy to make money too while keeping BCCI happy.
Neutral venus dun help pak revenue wise and strip pakistan public of watching players play the game. So if u can't scratch my back why shsould I scratch urs lolz

I totally agree people are greedy for money but currently i know it might be safe because i have lived in india ( neighbouring country ) but for people like symond or pointing or american who have hardly or never visited the country.. it will be scary for them..For them and even us its a common fact i mean life matters than sports... i hear suicide attack almost once or twice a week and does not seem safe atleast to me.... Even pak coach was worried returning to pak after break.... According to me let the election get over and depending on the situation aus should call off/play the tour

if they cancel then pakistan should never visit aus
