Sri Lanka is the most vulnerable place tbh. By the way all the Aussies would be available to play even in Afghanistan if some good money is offered.

Forget pakistan for a minute, you might be right about the afghanistan thing.

Its only australia who seem to always have this problem. NZ toured after a couple of years even when there was a bomb blast near the hotel where they were staying. England, SA, Sri Lanka, India....you name it they havent got such a big problem. Are australians really soo scared? I seriously cant believe PCB taking soo much liberties.

Thats the power of the media i guess. Look at how they made osama a hero during the soviet war when america needed help from afghanistan, now they made him a terrorist. Double standards everywhere. US, UK they never wanted anyone to live peacefully. Anyhwere. Why? so that these people keep fighting within themselves.always interfered in everyones problem. I will give u one example, why did the british people never solved the kashmir issue when they left? they did manage to help us create a seperate muslim and a hindu state so why did they left this massive issue (kashmir) unsolved? The media in Uk, US is all a big piece of sh*t. Who is mainly suffering from the invasion of iraq and afghanistan? its the muslim countries becuase thats where most extermist are coming from. This world will never ever be peaceful.

I can go on and on about this but as this is a cricket chat forum will leave it at that.

Also its amazing how people in the west only think about extremism, terrorism and how muslim countries are not helping in the cause of a peaceful world and everything that the british and american army have done i.e. killed thousands and thousands of innocent civilians, lying about a threat being present in iraq (WOMD) got away with all of that and are still in iraq and afghanistan killing people. WOW.

Honestly, it really does strain belief that there are people who believe this.

It might help, for starters, to get the idea that "the UK" and "the US" aren't one single person. There are different people - quite a lot of them - in both countries. And yes, a great many of these people would love little more than to see World peace.

Yeah am sorry. I meant the government. I have some really good friends based in UK, the people in general everywhere in this world want peace. I was talking politically....

It's generally a good idea to avoid using language that makes it appear that you're stereotyping entire enormous groups of people based purely on their nationality.

I'm glad to hear you weren't doing such a thing, because it really is quite annoying to hear "you're from the UK so therefore you support some superiorist crap".
