Pakistan chalk out plan to beat India

Because nothing has changed since we stopped our cricketing relations with Pakistan. The reason for that is still unresolved.

As far as economic ties are concerned, that I agree because economically stable Pakistan is must for our own security, I know its weird but its the truth.

But when it comes to Cricket, we should remain with our old stance. I know many won't agree but I still think Cricket should be a different topic altogether.

krait you ain't making us happy :sniper:

I know buddy. Problem with this sub-continent is that we don't hold firm to the ground.

Either we shouldn't have stopped the relations at all or shouldn't have resumed it at all. Nothing has changed over the issue that was the basis of this decision.

We are too emotional and at the same time forget too easily. Look around, its same in India and Pakistan.

I know you won't like it but its the reality.

Why to effect sport at the first place? We dont have good relations so we shall keep it to other things and not involve sports in that mess....afterall neither Pakistan nor india is regulating the international sports ....there are international bodies for that ,so when it goes upto that level let the specific bodies decide and not individual countries coz this way you are ruining the spirit of the sports and giving a bad taste to other countries ....

BCCI has started to influence the ICC and have pushed Pakistan cricket to wall where it had the tendency but the change in few things made the political interference to force BCCI to change the stance ....the recent economic activities and trade has a lot to do with this..but had it been in the hands of BCCI solely they would have tried their best to demolish Pakistan cricket team or players ....

But my point is we should keep sports separate from these messes , sports is a healthy activity and its meaning is ruined when it is bounded by the politics and bureaucracy ...yes in case of a severe conflict we can turn other way round too but during these times when the countries are just high on words it should not be effected

But yes like many others i too am not looking these series with much of a charm and hope ...its just another few days for me

I think We should not make politics out of sport. Let the sports be sports. Further, I follow my Team support them whether they win or loss. I'll be hooting for them at Kotla Ground with my Collage Friends...

Agreed. But why did we do it at first place ? That's the question. We all supported breaking cricket ties with Pakistan. Didn't we ?

@Mani2020 Here is your answer too. We were all emotional that time.

Sports and politics must be de-linked. It cannot be that, every time there is a political difference between two countries, we question sporting links. India and Pakistan have diplomatic ties, and it is in this area that political issues need to be resolved. Countries at war with each other have taken part in the Olympic Games. Indeed, according to the Olympic charter, there is no place for politics. The 1936 Olympics, for example, were held despite the Nazis coming to power, and the majority of nations, including the US, took part in the Games.

If the Olympics is the root of the principle that politics and sport should not be mixed, it is one that India needs to follow as far as cricket is concerned. Rather than cancel the planned tour, India should up the ante diplomatically and pressurize Pakistan through political and diplomatic efforts.

There is no stronger argument for the de-linking of sport and politics than the aftermath of the massacre in Munich in 1972. “After the terrorists killed two Israelis and took control of the Olympic Village, a number of events continued until activities were suspended late in the day. Despite the carnage at the airport, Avery Brundage, chairman of the International Olympic Committee, famously said, "The Games must go on," and 34 hours later competition resumed,”

Further, We love to see battle of Bat & Ball instead of GUN.....

We should not have this series for soo may reasons. The PCB needs this much more than the BCCI. And the baggage that cricket carries - allows for the sport to also translate into a diplomatic tool. India, at minimal cost, can employ this tool.

Besides, it's not like the sport is likely to get affected. India and pak have rarely played the best cricket - its merely the political conflict and associated emotions that drive sports pundits to name this the "biggest cricketing rivalry" and "bigger than the ashes".

Also, with the media-marketing machinery at work, the stakes will be raised through an ad blitzkrieg - and with the kind of money that is involved, its impossible to not take into account something like "fixing". I feel cheated as a fan - just as is the case with the IPL. People know the results and the margin of victory even before the first ball is bowled.
