Pakistan v Sri Lanka
- Thread starter Dumbstar
- Start date
Thats fair comment, although I didnt imagine that shit to happen to be honest & I was just trying to defuse what Dumpstar candidly posted - which was silly & he got stung big time!
A lesson learned i guess
he's made a cock on himself again in the first page.
How'd i miss all his other posts on the first page - feckin hell!!
I read his opening post, then quoted it & it would have brought me onto the 2nd page, I remember scrolling up the page but couldnt see anyone quoting his opening post which i thought was strange, so i did regarding the attack!
Apologies if anyone thought I was backing him up - i honestly didnt see his other posts & they were much worse - let it be said!
Dumpstar mate - you're well out of order lad & you shouldnt mix politics with sport like it seems you are doing
I watch Headlines Today for the sheer entertainment value. they had a 30 min special programme when some actress didn't recognize a shot of her x bf's abs
the repercussions of this wont be felt just in Pakistan. it will affect the whole of the sub continent no doubt(not just from a sports point of view)
I've heard of some hostile bowling before, but this is rediculous.
The difference there being, when Indian cricketers were touring Pakistan, your premiers Zia, Bhutto, Sharif, Musharaf etal were funding the jihadis. All three...ISI, government and terrorist organizations were scratching each other backs ...Jihadis were skating on the edges with veiled threats but never crossed the line, they cannot without the approval of your governments. As of now those freedom fighters have turned against your government, don't think the country is safe for any tourist, let alone own citizens.

Tootay Huway Khwabonay.
After talking to some Pakistani's, it strikes me how deluded some of them are. They are pointing the finger towards Indian Intelligence agencies(RAW), some even going as far as to say that RAW planned the Mumbai attacks too. Both were carried out to destabalize Pakistan.
They somehow overlook the fact that Pakistan is a country in freefall, with terrorists seemingly roaming the place at will.

Pakistani's do seem to very hardcore when it comes to politics. They have a serious chip on their shoulder but they seem to have forgotten what their point was in the first place!
Maybe its the heat thats making them irritable
Just like with Muslims, I think its unfair to tar every Pakistani with the same brush. Nobody knows who was behind the attacks - though patterns suggest some in-house militant Muslim group (Lashkar?). However, there is no denying Pakistan is fully up sh*t's creek without a paddle and I pray for the day the Army comes back to take control of the country and shake things up from top to bottom.
Pakistan is always at its lowest ebb when we have 'democratically elected' leaders. The mid/late 90s was the last of these lowest ebbs.

fecking hell - glad I wasnt born into that shite, i thought i had it bad growing up in Northern Ireland!
I could be wrong but I gather you're of Pakistani origin?
Chris Broad, English ICC official, has basically accused the Pakistani security forces of cowardice.
I've always thought their army is fecking useless so I tend to agree with him.

its because of pakistan that muslims from all over are tarnished.
pakistan have been defeated in every war they've started and now the terrorists are twatting them a new arsehole.
and people like dumpstar are the first ones to run and leave the country like traitors when the going gets tough and he wants the army back in power instead of a democracy.

Vida, in fairness its racists like you that do more damage in the world.
Red Hand, yes I was born in Pakistan many moons ago before my dad was posted to the UK. And he stayed. Much like many sub-Indian families back in the 60s/70s.
In my years of growing up and watching Pakistan shoot itself in the foot, leg, ballsack and finally head, its not been easy. I would love to see Pakistan ruled democratically and representatively however an election is THE biggest joke a corrupt-to-the-core nation can offer. The only time we have any semblence of order is when the army rules.
Unfortunately, that's not ideal either as they are naive and not really politicians. However, they are also not murderous criminals like every single 'elected' leader we have had since the late 70s. Musharaf tried hard to mix the two (army/politics) but he made several blunders too which is why he eventually left. But at least he was a good guy trying his damnedest.
India is lucky they can get someone like Manmohan elected in. He's intelligent and also not as corrupt as those under him. He also serves his country and not himself. Again, unfortunately, the worst scum floats to the top in Pakistan and we'd never be able to get a leader like that.
no they're involved themselves.
Is your Dad an envelope
Interesting read btw!
We get in any which way we can!
Being a tight git, he saved money on the SAE that's why we stayed.
Abu Dhabi to step into the breach.
Abu Dhabi Cricket Association boss Dilwar Mani plans further talks with the Pakistan Cricket Board about having more games in the neutral venue.
Abu Dhabi and Dubai are already due to host Pakistan's limited overs games against Australia next month, and New Zealand could go there later this year.
That could extend to England, who are scheduled to play four Tests and five one-day matches in Pakistan in 2010.
"The decision must be made between the two cricket boards," Mani told the BBC.
England are due to tour Pakistan in February and March next year, but in the wake of the attacks in Lahore it appears unthinkable that those matches will go ahead there.
Mani said he had not yet been approached about staging some of England's matches but told me he would be 'delighted' to step in as host.
''Should any country require our assistance and facilities we can make them available," said the chief executive.
Abu Dhabi's Sheikh Zayed stadium is well known to cricketers.
England trained there in December before their Test series in India and domestic teams regularly use it for pre-season preparation, with six counties due in Abu Dhabi later this month.
The stadium has generally been used for limited-overs matches but Mani assured me he had 'no doubt' the wicket and outfield would be suitable for staging a Test match.
Moreover, the ground is located several miles outside the centre of Abu Dhabi with a very modern road network linking it to the city.
Coaches can drive at speed right up to the stadium, and when I was there in December I was assured that virtually any level of security would be possible.
Those are exactly the considerations uppermost in the minds of cricket administrators right now.

The lack of security was pathetic. That said, the attack was well planned out. However they should've been provided with bullet proof transportm at least.
Anyway, I wonder where Pakistan will be 5 years down the line? Afghanistan-like? perhaps there will be a war with VidaRed and his homeboys? Seriously, the situation looks bleak. It'll get worse.
My advice to people over there. Get out, if you can.

Bangladesh indefinitely suspend tours of foreign teams in the country.
Bangladesh has indefinitely postponed all tours by foreign sports teams because of security concerns.
The government says it is still trying to deal with the aftermath of a bloody border guard mutiny last month and cannot guarantee security.
The move means a cricket tour by Pakistan due is indefinitely postponed.
The tour was due to begin at the end of this month but dates were put on hold after an attack on Sri Lanka's cricket team in the Pakistani city of Lahore.
'Hunting rebels'
Sports Minister Ahad Ali Sarkar said late on Tuesday that the government had put on hold tours by foreign sports teams because all security resources were focused on the investigation and manhunt after the mutiny.
"We have had to suspend the [Pakistan] tour for the time being because of security concerns," the AFP news agency quoted Mr Sarkar as saying.
"Our law enforcement agencies are at the moment hunting rebels wanted for last month's mutiny in Dhaka so it's not possible for us to give fool-proof security to the Pakistani cricket team," he said.
At least 74 people were killed in the mutiny. Hundreds of guardsmen were later arrested, but hundreds more are still sought.
The Pakistan team had been scheduled to play two Twenty20 matches and five one-day internationals in Bangladesh.
"The Bangladesh Cricket Board is trying to work out a new schedule with the Pakistani cricket authorities," board spokesman Rabeed Imam told AFP.
Reports suggested that may be some time between October and December.
Pakistan captain Younus Khan said he was very disappointed by the decision.
"It is a great setback especially when we needed practice for the Australia series," he said, AFP reported.
"We had some newcomers in the team for Bangladesh who we wanted to try out."
Blow
Bangladesh's government says it suspects that the mutiny by the Bangladesh Rifles (BDR) was not a simple revolt over pay, as the mutineers themselves said, but perhaps part of a wider conspiracy.
The rebels surrendered after 33 hours but they killed at least 56 of their officers, including their commander. His wife and a number of other officers' wives were also killed.
Correspondents say the government has undoubtedly been shaken by the mutiny.
The army has stepped up security at about a dozen strategic buildings in Dhaka, including the official residence of the prime minister.
The government has also asked the FBI to investigate whether the soldiers who mutinied had links to any foreign groups.
The BBC's Mark Dummett in Dhaka says the decision to postpone the Pakistan tour is another blow for cricket in South Asia following the Lahore attack.
Up to 14 militants shot dead six policemen and a driver and injured eight Sri Lankan Tour members in the attack.
