    Championless Trophy? - stop the bs and go

    I am going around in circles. Australia is more likely to be targetted by jihadists in Pakistan than in India. We can agree to disagree on this. This is one of the reasons they are less willing to go to Pakistan, that and general greater level of violence, although if this changing so will...

    Its a question of targetting not just general safety.

    Championless Trophy? - stop the bs and go

    I used the Bhutto example to show the fallability of Pakistani security. Point I am making re India is that terrorist causes in India revolve around Kashmir. In Pakistan the anti western movement would be much larger.

    England should not let zimbabwe tour now

    :laugh: Hopefully Stanfords millions might give them the backbone they've lacked for so long. The boycott would be an close to an empty gesture though if the ICC just move it to accomodate them. Maybe Stanford can run the ICC too

    Again its a matter of degree, if that happened recently it would impact Australia's decision to go for sure.

    England should not let zimbabwe tour now

    I saw that posed to someone representing Zim on Dateline, he said people are starving to death they don't care about watching cricket. Touring or accepting a tour from Zim would however show the Zim people that the int. community IMO are not that serious about dealing with the problems. They'll...

    **Official** Australia in West Indies

    Although they were in 2020 Watson's recent performances with the ball far outshone Hopes, who was strangely very poor. Watto's bowling surprised every1 i reckon, great consistency taking wickets and economical to boot. Has to be in front of Hopes for a spot surely

    Championless Trophy? - stop the bs and go

    i'd be more confident in Indian security than Pakistani security. I am not getting nasty or trying to slur Pakistani's but I am just saying things are more difficult there Yes I know its diverse. I still think they are less likely to poke their heads up because Kashmir is their issue and their...

    Championless Trophy? - stop the bs and go

    I am assuming things are alot tougher for militants to operate under the watchful eye of the Indians, rather than back home where you are in your element. Of course attacks have happened and they can't all be stopped (proabably) but an incident is MORE LIKELY to occur in Pakistan. And I'm not...

    Championless Trophy? - stop the bs and go

    Yes, I can't speak spec on that place, but if someone did do something it would be more likely to take place in Pakistan. I'd assume it'd be much more difficult to conduct an operation like that in India rather than your home country. The fact that it hasn't happened yet isn't a garauntee that...

    Championless Trophy? - stop the bs and go

    The Presidential security offer started lacking cred when Bhutto was shot. I am not saying that is totally right, but you can understand how that incident caused concern. If they couldn't protect just her how can a team of 20 blokes be safe. There are legitimate concerns that noone is...

    England should not let zimbabwe tour now

    Mugabe is saying he'll only be removed by God, so a sporting boycott won't be giving him nightmares. To send a team there though would be sendng the wrong message to the Zim people plus the world that relations are normal and would set the campaign back.

    Championless Trophy? - stop the bs and go

    I am not sure what cricketers think, not that they'd say so publicly anyway. CA, FICA might think differently.. And bcos it hasn't happened before, is not a reason count on it never happening.
