so many big name Saffers I have a feeling South Africa is expecting Pakistan to return this favor by playing the boxing day test.

How long till NZ players do what the WI ones have done and just do what they want due to an inept board and walk away to make money?

This could make or break international cricket in Pak.PCB and government needs to be vigilant and make sure not even a single incident happens

Whilst Sharjah, Dubai and Abu Dhabi are nice hosts and deserve top level cricket I also do miss the Pakistan tours.

Like most have said, I hope this is the first steps back to more international cricket in Pakistan.

2 of our test tours to Pakistan stand out in my memory. Pretty sure we had some nice triangulars there too.

I went to few matches in 2007 tour and there was no security concern at that time but now it takes almost 2 hours for me to reach stadium even though i live few steps away

It was one of the last tours wasn't it ? Sri Lanka came after ?

It was a very important win for the team. It was the start of the 'away dynasty' that Arthur and core Sa players started.

But the late 90s series just for the names, controversy, Pat Symcox scoring a test 100 after Mushy's ball going between the stumps. Shaun Pollock's bowling was up there with some of the best. That series stands out most for me.

Few minnows like Zimbabwe and Bangladesh came after and yes also hosted Asia Cup in 2008.Pak was also going to host ICC CT 2008 but due to security threats we couldn't and that was shifted to SA and after that SL came

I have some memories from that 2007 tour as well apart from watching games.I was in Nandos and SA team came there and Boucher shaked my hand.I was always an aspiring wicketkeeper so he was an inspiration for me.Players like Graeme Smith and AB were also there
