But surely if you have to play behind closed doors and with armoured convoys closing roads off, then it's kind of a bit of a pointless exercise really.. Don't think you can blame the PCB for a lack of security
My point is not a single cricket country was ready to tour Pakistan due to security concerns, so should this series have at all taken place, and still when Sri Lanka agreed to tour Pakistan, PCB should then have done everything they could have to ensure their safety.I am afraid there is no such thing as 'foolproof' or rather 'terrorist proof' security. This is the problem. Its easy to blame PCB but there is only so much they can do. They are caught between a rock and a hard place. You cant ensure 100% against terrorists and you cant afford to admit it to the world.
How can PCB protect the cricketers if Benazir could not be protected or Rajeev Gandhi could not be protected.
Really feel for the SL team.They are talking to one of the guys on the TV proudction crew in the stadium and he's saying the team is pretty much on lockdown in the Gaddaffi stadium surrounded by commandos. Scary interview they all are scared of even getting back to the hotel and the airport.
Compltely agree with the sentiment. I myself was wondering how in the heck can someone make that kind of conclusion.Another stupid PPP Jiyala he is drunk half the time so I won't take anythign he says seriously.Before making this comment he said this on Geo Tv this was a continuation of a gun fight between two rival land grabber gangs in lahore..
they had separately reported a gun fight in the gulberg area 2 hours ago..
he was trying to pass this off as sl team caught in rival gang gun fire and not a targeted attack??
what an idiot!
These guys who attacked today had rocket launchers !My point is not a single cricket country was ready to tour Pakistan due to security concerns, so should this series have at all taken place, and still when Sri Lanka agreed to tour Pakistan, PCB should then have done everything they could have to ensure their safety.
Providing the Sri Lankan team with a bullet-proof vehicle or probably sealing a particular radius area of team's route from their hotel to the stadium could have helped, and tbh had it not been for the brave Pakistani policemen, the damage could have been severe.
I just heard an interesting interview from a Sri Lankan official, saying that they had the full security reports and they supported them going. He also said that in 1996, Pakistan and India were the only teams to tour Sri Lanka when they had problems, and that they had felt that given that support, they had felt it only right to do the same once the reports came back okay.My point is not a single cricket country was ready to tour Pakistan due to security concerns, so should this series have at all taken place, and still when Sri Lanka agreed to tour Pakistan, PCB should then have done everything they could have to ensure their safety.

And at least one grenade.These guys who attacked today had rocket launchers !
From the videos I have seen they didnt get too close. Were firing from a distance and lobbing hand grenades. I suppose the security guards kept them away with the firing in response.And at least one grenade.
Surprised more people didn't die tbh.
I know alot of things are said in the heat of the moment, but I think one of the smaller tragedies in this debacle is that an entire nation of people wont get to see the sport that they love as much as we do any more. At least not for a long time to come. When it's only due to the actions of a small group of psychopaths, I think that's very sad.For all I care, I hope no other team visits Pakistan. Pakistan cricket is now officially dead and quite frankly I don't give a crap.
Thanks for the nice comments but it is extreamly justified I feel.I know alot of things are said in the heat of the moment, but I think one of the smaller tragedies in this debacle is that an entire nation of people wont get to see the sport that they love as much as we do any more.

Include me to that list as well.. Honestly never thought the authorities were so powerless or so incompetent.. To just take out guns and fire at an international team bus belies belief... I am so so sorry and I apologize reg. my stance on touring Pakistan. Gutted...No need to apologise for something you had no control over. You guys expected better from certain scum in society and were disappointed.
