It's Hypocricket!

Good blog by Osman Samiuddin that represents what Pakistani fans are feeling right now.

I commend England cricket team on resuming their tour of India and playing cricket in the aftermath of the Mumbai massacre. Cricket fans in India would certainly benefit from the healing power of soothing Test cricket involving their stars.

I just feel sorry for Pakistan for not getting the same pragmatic view from Australia and other countries that have refused to tour Pakistan for security reasons despite a security arrangement provided by Pakistan that is given to heads of state.

Let's face it, if terrorists can just amble in and go on a killing spree - and on top of that, gleefully look for "westerners" - in Mumbai, esp. after Indian intelligencia getting heads-up from American counterpart of an impending maritime attack, then how can you guarantee safety of anyone in India? I mean, if you are brave enough to play in India, where the authorities could not find bag full of explosives for days even after going on a high state of alert following the attacks, then you can just about play anywhere in the world!

It's Not Cricket! It's Hypocricket!
