Clearly security wasnt taken that seriously and sri lanka’s team felt the worst of it. I saw some security expert on the TV talking about ferrying teams around in armored cars with helicopter gunship escorts.... If you need a para-military escort to go to a country then whats the point, its to extreme, just sort out your internal problems.

Undoubtedly, attack on Sri Lankan team demonstrates great security lapse. Now no team will visit Pakistan, and the PCB should voluntarily arrange all future tours at neutral venues for the next year, may be longer.

Unfortunately we see yet another case of radicalism that is going to ruin Pakistan’s chances of playing in, let alone hosting the world cup. Times being as they are it seems that this muslim hatred toward ‘infadels’ is a growing problem both at home and abroad. The ICC need to be tough. Liverpool fans acted wrongly in Turin many years ago and England as a country had to take the fall for that, no team being allowed to compete in Europe. Cricket should take a leaf from this example, Pakistan should be banned.

Mr Adam

Teams should stop touring Pakistan but their players should be allowed to tour and play home matches at neutral venues till the situation improves a lot

Pakistan, India, Sri-Lanka, Bangladesh…none of the country is safe for the 2011 world cup. I believe that the series should be held somewhere where people should enjoy the game rather than be scared of the attacks.

All of these countries are in mess and there is no surety that the things will change in next one or two years.

I will not comment on the other countries but for India, they deserve this shame of people backing out from their land. When a country can’t protect its citizens and the visitors, then it is doomed to face the shame.

Ms Sanwali

If the security fears continue, then there will b only a few countries where cricket could b played.

Dear Friend: I totally agree with your views. In the news clippings of the Lahore incidents, we were shown pictures of the attackers. Will anyone be able to explain how these pictures were clicked and by whom?
