PCB is sueing CA for touring India despite Delhi bombings and not touring Pakistan over "so many daily bombings". The PCB presumes that Australia has been adopting double standards on visiting India and bunking Pakistan. The reasoning they offer is silly and stupid to say the least. India is far safer country than Pakistan in every sense and despite the terror trail, the country doesnt assume that its on the way of becoming another Pakistan where everyday a bomb or 2 goes off killing many innocent people.
My point is not being going political. PCB should look into one of the factors that why every country is refusing to visit Pakistan except India (vote bank politics to the fore again for BCCI in ICC politics) ? 5 countries refused them to visit for CT, WICB has not shown much excitement in touring Pak for Tests. Again the security issue.
How is BCCI responsible for any other team not visiting Pakistan ? BCCI has supported Pakistan Board in every situation. Right when no other country toured Pakistan or is willing to, BCCI has sent its team and would be sending one in Jan 2009 for another series which would mark the return of international cricket for Pak and in Pak.
Australia has never toured Pakistan since 1998. Their 2002 series was played at neutral venues in Sharjah and Sri Lanka. BCCI wasnt a factor then as Homer rightly puts it. Money might be a factor for Oz to tour India. But then havent the PCB been benefitted by the Indian money ? Almost every year since 2004 we see a India - Pakistan series home and away. To such an extent that it has almost robbed the excitement and tension associated with a India - Pak game.
The fact is Pakistan is no more a team it was. Its gone weak and has been trampled by the antics of the admins and the maverick players. The way Asif and Shoaib have been handled, the way Lawson and Malik are being made insecure, the way Younis Khan and Inzamam were treated. Not to say about the 2 Ws. And isnt it sick to see Pakistan playing no Test match this year. ALright lets assume if Oz had toured Pak, then 3 tests in a year ? Is this good omen for a major Test playing country ?
PCB should get its act right rather than going behind CA's ass.
