Imo, it's Pakistan that should lose points. For not being able to convince India to play them.

Just offer a little cash, and she comes running to play.

I hope we do not play Pakistan for a few years. Seriously just can't help thinking about match fixing every time they screw up from a strong position and can't seem to get that excitement like before when we beat them. Didn't feel good when we beat them in the WC semifinal for instance, well not as good as it felt when we beat them in the 2007 T20 WC anyway. Felt the same way for a good 3-4 years about Indian games when Azhar got banned for fixing in the last decade.

It's a simple issue and can't see why tons of people seem to be complicating it beyond what it is. A summary:
1. Cricket between India and Pakistan has always been a factor of politics and the relation between the two countries. One might argue that it shouldn't be so, but it is so and will continue to be given the huge popularity of the sport in both countries and it's association with patriotism.
2. The BCCI has not come up with any policy of not playing Pakistan - it's the Indian government's decision and quite obviously BCCI cannot override it. At the same time the government has given an implicit go ahead for matches in tournaments. BCCI is a money hungry organization and will not let go of any chance to earn some easy dough from an India-Pakistan series.
Personally, I feel there should not be any bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan. PCB is a government run organization in Pakistan and according to me the Pakistan government has been guilty of some ugly events in India, implicitly of explicitly. Boycotting a cricketing structure won't change the policy, but will at least send out an unheard message.

And the BCCI isn't?
And it wasn't the Pakistani government that was involved, rather a fringe element in the Pak military.

No, it isn't.And the BCCI isn't?
Don't want to get into a more than superficial political discussion on a cricketing thread and section, which is why I wrote implicitly or explicitly. And I also clearly stated that it's my personal opinion - obviously I don't have any ultra secret facts to back it up.
I won't be contributing to any mess that arises, rest assured.

Not sure what the position of the Indian government is with respect to bilateral series between the 2 right now actually.
The primary issue right now seems to be between the 2 boards with both wanting to host the other and India not wanting to play either in Pakistan or the middle east.The itinerary is also packed with ACC cup taking place too. Might be the government is talking directly to the BCCI but can't be certain .

While it is unfair, but I am not concerned about it. Pakistan needs to stop begging India for a series and at this stage it is not such a bad thing. I have no intention of seeing Sehwag score triple centuries on flat pitches against Pakistani medium pacers.

Lack of sponsorship, money making opportunities.

Actually I take back my words.. a second string Pakistani pace attack of Gul, Riaz and Junaid should be enough..

Mr. Glass
Only it isn't your second string attack but your first choice attack.
