One should realize that by not givivng Karachi its due worth, PCB has created another angry mob who would love to see the whole series+peace process+PCB+Buday sobay ka captain disrupted.
It should have been either YES or NO for Karachi. This city is being sidelined for stupid reasons.
This whole Tour has been hyped to the limit where the Indian players have successfully “VOICED” their concern of security whereby in case of losing the series or performing below the expectation will put their career on the block. This concern could save thier butts and in return Pakistan’s reputation would stumble to the new lows. ( Andaaza Karooo )
Historically Indians are more fanatic in this case. Pakistan is just beginning to match them ( 1999 worldcup & Failure to reach Super Sixes level in the last )
Ganguly and company is very much aware of the problem here.
Either they should Win in Pakistan or just kiss their future goodbye upon returing.
Such is the power of this game in the sub-continent
In sub-continent creticism come wrapped with rocks and bricks
^ I agree. We should appreciate the efforts by PCB to bring some form of cricket to Karachi. The process will take a long time. After the Indian ODI some more ODI's can be played in the city against other international teams and this will instill confidence in other teams as well. Eventually they will agree to play test there as well. Slow and steady wins the race. If we had made Karachi our focal point and the Indians had refused to come then we would have lost out. I support PCB in their strategy. That is not to say that I dont feel sorry for the people of Karachi. They deserve better. But lets not pull the rug from under the PCB's feet.
