what do u guys think of it...i personally still have doubts about it....i dont think Indians would like to face Pakistan in this form....Going by the history...whenever they resume the sporting ties Indian board (in their minds) planned it perfectly....in 1977-78 they resumed cricketing ties with Pakistan after 17 yrs...when about 5-7 of pakistani starts were playing for Kary Packer world series..and it was thought that PCB would not let them play in International cricket again, but due to the public demand, they were played and out classed india....In 1998 the Indian Board offored the series after...Pakistan camp was in serious trouble and Pak had lost a test and ODI series to both AUS and Zim. What indians dont know that every time Pakistani team is in trouble there is only one thing that guarntees their back to form is playing with India....


On the optimistic note i would love for that series to go on...nothing beats Pak-India cricket...and i can claim this on an Aussie form.... the excitement, involvement of supporters...passion of palyers....the ability of specially pakistani players to raise their level of game makes it an unbelievable event.....
the only problem is that next samester i'll be taking 21 credit hours...with all of my major classes..and working 3 jobs....
That is absolutely true. Well picked up Bouncer I am also sick and tired of this diplomacy . I mean they try different types of Politics but nothing has ever worked out for them . A full page of losses to Pakistan then half of the book goes blank then two or three lines of Indian victories then full page of Pakistan then the process goes on and on ..................

Well there you go people! here is what i was suspecious of since this announcement of the tour was made :!( .

And all the non Indian people again tell us(Pakistani's)that we dont understand Indian's sport men ship, and their love for this game[/D]


I really hope that its not true though.

Indian cricket team's tour of Pakistan likely in May

he Indian cricket team's tour of Pakistan is likely to be postponed till after the Lok Sabha elections in May following Home Ministry's advice to the Cricket Board (BCCI) to defer the "sensitive" series.

Even as the Cricket Board and the Sports Ministry were keen that the tour be held as scheduled between March and April, highly placed sources said the Home Ministry has conveyed to BCCI that it has no objection to the cricket tour being held after the Lok Sabha elections.

It has been suggested to the Board that the schedule for the series be changed accordingly.

The BCCI was told that the tour could take place any time after the election process was over in May, the sources said.

They, however, said that a final decision would have to be taken by BCCI after return of the three-member team which is now in Pakistan to assess the security arrangements for the tour.

Explaining the rationale behind the suggestion to the Board, the sources said the tour was "sensitive" as even a wrong decision by an umpire could trigger an untoward incident that could lead to further tension in the country. Yeah and the rest of the world thinks that they are the biggest lovers of the game....Truth of the matter is these people are Coward, who dont even have any self respect.

The Government would like the BCCI to take a decision keeping in view these issues.

The sources categorically stated that there was no question of the tour being called off as both the countries have agreed in principle for it.

The schedule for the tour had been worked out earlier at a time when the Government had not taken a decision to go for dissolution of Parliament and early Lok Sabha polls.

great news!!
Indian govt. gives go-ahead for the tour. External affairs minister says no change in schedule. However it's not yet clear if they'll play at all the venues proposed initially.
