The Karachi Test Match Debate...is England's refusal justified?

[anakwalajinn]

I think Pakistan shouldn't play in London next year...

 

[fardin]

Why not playing in karachi?

Karachi is the mecca of cricket in pakistan and They should have a test match played their,Terrorists are every were.so because of bomb blast in london then pakistan should not play a test match in london?

The situation in karachi is much better then it was back in 2002,There is more security and less terrorist crimes have been reported this year so I assume They should make a good choice and play a test match in karachi.

Play in karachi and give it an example that we are not intemediated by the terrorists.

Well said.
In addition, the govt. of Pakistan should take steps to make the sportsmen feel safe.

 

[kelvinismyname]

who tell you osama belongs to karachi, osama belongs to afghanistan

made me laugh

 

[Gunner786]

india played a odi in karachi and were given standing ovatuions by karachi fans.
if any team should feel unsafe in karachi it is india.
all other countries just make big dramas out of nothing!!!

 

[fardin]

made me laugh

The government of Pakistan hosted India very well in Karachi...so i see no reason why they should not do the same to england.
If India has no problems in playing a test match in Karachi next year..why should england have?

Well though I too agree they must play in Karachi, I think ultimately it entirely depends on the ECB's decision. Even if the PCB cancel the tour, it wont do England any harm.

 

[Sureshot]

Terrorists will not win, so let's play there. Lovely City and Country.

 

[ZoraxDoom]

There is a hotel owned by Osama's family here in Dubai...named after him...

Well his family runs a huge construction company in the middle east.

I'm sure you can provide adequate security for any cricket match if you are serious. I think much of opinions about Pakistan and its relations with terrorism are highly stereotypical. Proof of that was India's tour--Pakistan was possibly the best host nation in a long time.

 

[icyman]

i bet Pervez Musharraf will come to watch the match if england play in karachi.

 

[Pak_cricketer]

he watches every match in pakistan. He loves cricket.I mean the India vs Pak game he was on the edge of the seat and the president of india was trying to talk to him.
