I don't think England's batting would exactly fare much better on those sort of pitches right now. England's ODI batting is really good at the moment but one of the reasons for that is that they bat on ODI pitches.

I'm well aware of the political tensions between India and Pakistan. I don't have as much skin in the game perhaps (though a conflict between the two could trigger WWIII, which would be the end of everything). But there comes a point where people have to move beyond what had happened to forge a better tomorrow. Sport, cricket in particular, is the one thing both countries have in common. I'd hate to see one or both of the sides removed from the world cup on the basis of terrorist attacks. That would mean the terrorists are winning.

The political tensions are at an all time high now, after the attacks. I can even say, I can't make a facebook post supporting for Pakistan to play in the World Cup and India to withdraw. I will be pounced upon.

Cricbuzz has removed Pakistan content, Bollywood has banned all Pak actors. A politician has said that water flowing to Pak will be stopped. Both armies preparing for war.
Quite terrible for humanity that something like this still continues to happen in this world. Man decided to stop killing each other for food few thousand years back. But not sure, when they will mature and decide to stop killing each other for place.

Yeah it's stupid and nonsensical of BCCI to ask ICC for Pakistan cricket team to be banned and they should be laughed out of the joint. If they really care about their "principles", they can give them a W/O (even if it happens to come in a knockout game).
Which is not to say that I'm absolving Pakistan of their wrong doings, or that India have no grounds for grievance with Pakistan, but it's got nothing to do with their cricket team.

As far as I know neither the BCCI or the PCB are government departments (unlike ZC and SLC for example), and "your government hates my government" is really a pretty ridiculous reason to refuse to play cricket against another organisation's team at a neutral venue. It makes sense that they don't tour each other but they should be able to play in England without throwing toys.

Do you believe that Pak government/ army didn't know about Osama bin laden whereabouts ?

Of course not, there's a lot of ****s on both sides
And this particular issue somehow invariably turns both sets of people, who otherwise have everything in common, into absolute morons. Don't know how or why, but that's how it is, and I don't see it changing.

That makes it a little more understandable then I suppose, although at its core it's still fundamentally dire.
