Pakistan Government need to get off there lazy asses and do something about these sick people
I thought Dhoni's comments were straightforward. He was thankful because the Indian government stepped in and barred the tour of Pakistan. The governments and boards don't really get commended for protecting the players like that, but after an event like this it is more than apparent that it could have been Indians and not Sri Lankans. Indeed, an attack that was carried out so well was probably planned long before the Indian tour was cancelled.
Although it is widely believed that the government banned India from touring Pakistan to protest the latter's government's stance, rather than security concerns.I thought Dhoni's comments were straightforward.

What??? All it took a 'a very few terrorists' and a cricket team was nearly wiped out. I agree with Gilly, Pakistan won't be hosting anything for a few years. It's up to them if they want to continue to play cricket, it's just going to have to be at neutral venues.
As for 2011 WC, yes Pakistan is definitely out, but without opening a can of worms - India and Sri Lanka are hardly the safest places in the world either. I think the ICC should shift it to Aus/NZ, citing security.
It is going to take a near miracle to convince any countries to tour Pakistan again in next 10 or 15 years. I totally blame Srilankan Cricket Board for this. Why the hell did they allow Srilankan cricket team to tour Pakistan?
Don't worry. He'll drag himself into it.
Anyways, Cricinfo - 'Cricketers will be more alert' - Dhoni is stupid from Dhoni. Was there any need to say it?
Quite right, Dhoni was! He should be happy not to tour Pakistan. If such a thing had happened to Sachin Tendulkar, the consequences would have been 10x times worse than what would actually happen now after this incident.
You posted this when the movie was half over. Now it is complete. What will you say now? Of course we can't let our countries tour a country whose govt makes truce with terrorists. SLC tried to be oversmart, and now look what has happened to it's players.
I really really feel for the guys who have been injured. Those bloody rascal terrorists! If you want to fight, fight from the front, don't stab from the back, that is sometng a coward does. We all are united against you guys now. Our religion is Cricket. And you have attacked our religion. We all are united- YOU WILL LOSE, YOUR JEHAD WILL FAIL.
I think the sad fact is that they don't care who they hurt, as long as they cause total devastation.I still don't understand the reasoning about attacking a Sri Lankan team, because there aren't tense relationships with Sri Lanka with other countries.
According to an account given by Nadeem Ghouri, the Pakistani test umpire also travelling in the minibus, the Englishman(Chris Broad)dived on top of Ehsan Raza, the fourth umpire, in an attempt to protect him after he was critically wounded. Mr Raza, who was shot in the back, was said to be in a critical condition in hospital today.

So Sachin Tendulkar is worth 10x more then the Sri Lankan assistant coach or Mendis?
