I request Pakistan cricket team to come to India and play cricket.yes we have to travel billions of mile before we become tru friends. This will one step towards right direction. Just want to clarify some thing. India is a changing country in India now that die hard patriotism is very rearly visible. Ever body knows that all corrupt people miss use your patriotism to their advantnge. India of 70's and early 80's have gone. Am sure if they play good cricket they will get good support in India.

ou are very right my Pakistani friend Ishtiaq & Hussain. No Indian, at least 80% do not want Pakistanis to play India. It is a brain child of few shameless Indian politician likes of Rajv Shukla. How can you aspect Indian will forget, 26/11, Kargil, Parliament attack? All the perpetrator of these heinous crime still rooming free. Some of them who have been arrested after much international pressure will now be released citing inadmissible of the report filed by Pakistani judicial commission after visiting India.
It is BCCI is not been accommodated. PCB has been accommodated by the BCCI. If Pakistanis have some sence of respect, they should not come to play in India.

Hostile welcome and hostile crowd will maked the series more interesting. One reason India has invited Pakistan to come to India is to improve their rating. Remember Pakistan is among the top 4 cricketing nation and will qualify to play the test WC in 2013. India is also trying to improve their ODI and t-20 rating which is slipping down gradually these past few months while Pkaistan's rating has gone up.

Yeah i agree..pakistan should not travel for these matches..in fact they should snub the indians just like indians snubbed pakistan in the IPL… we should show that we don't bend in front of anybody and are not greedy for money…india will gain more out of this series than pakistan with all the money they will make from the crowds etc..people here in pakistan will hardly be bothered about the matches…we have better things to do!

You do not need to wonder. It is because it is perhaps the greatest rivalry in any sport in the world, in terms of followers.
That is the reason it needs to be revived. The fans yearn for this.It is that simple. Good tidyings, I hope it happens as planned. Greetings to both countries for the effort.

true, but here is the thing, BCCI does not NEED this series. They r sitting at 70% of cricket revenue , so yes we are more keen to have this series than BCCI.

i dont think pak crickets will face anything like the sri lankan cricketers. we have to understand that PCB cannot continue to pay $ to its officers and players without any money. we need to develop the sport from school level and without money we cant develop good teams.

take for example west indies side , it is full of talented people but they do not perform well as a team. that is what will happen to our cricket team if we dont invest money to develop the sport. we will have talented people who are not trained. when aparatheid prevented south africa from playing international cricket their domestic system was excellent that it produced fine cricketers . to do that we need money and BCCI has the biggest valut.

BCCI is confidant because they have bribed the government. Myself and my family is not going to watch the series at all at any cost. I do not want to spend any single dollar on these matches.
