One day Pakistan, one day.

Wonder if they're responding due to the recent karachi shootings.

Throw in the recent chopper crash and it couldn't come at a worse time.

Wonder if they're responding due to the recent karachi shootings.

That's almost certainly the case. Zimbabwe had sent a delegation prior to the attacks to assess the security arrangements and had expressed their general satisfaction. I'm sure the Karachi attack made them reconsider.

Don't think it's safe to tour after the shooting right now. Sad for Pakistan but not much can be done if the situation is this unstable.

However, not the backdrop in which cricket should be played. Quite farcical.
