India will tour Pakistan in March's 2nd week due to security reasons...
India will not play in Karachi and Peshawar due to security reasons...
Indian delegation visits Pakistan to check facilities & security measures...
Ganguly will talk with BCCI chief over security concern in Pakistan...
And many more...
A lot of news and reviews we read daily in the newspapers now a days having all this stupid things. Actually Indian Team and BCCI not fear with security reason, they only fears with their own people, who loves them a lot. Any patriot doesn?t want his team and/or any person of his country makes the country's flag down. I, as Pakistani, always want win.
When two persons or teams come in front of each other in the field, we must realize that only one can win and other, off course, is looser. Now comes to Cricket again.
In India, People makes this game a religion and cricketers are their god. If India looses a game, even a street person who did not hold the cricket bat in his own life, pass the comments like Gavaskar and Kapil. You can't always win. You should strengthen your team's moral. When your team loose a game than they need your support more. Your players also like to give you happiness always and they fight in the field of cricket with their weapons (leather & willow) with heart & soul. So please makes them relax and makes them free to think only about Cricket. In the last clash against Pakistan, India was winner (World Cup 2003).
To loose a match against any team is not fruitful but become a loosing side against Pakistan is the most worst for Indian fans. Actually this fear makes Indian Team & Board to worry about. Their political leaders also involve in this run. They are trying to play with their own peoples feelings. Once in Calcutta-India, the whole stadium becomes empty and these two teams play a match. How ashamed that the largest stadium of a cricket world has no spectator and two great teams are playing an international match! Why we go too far, perhaps a month ago when a Pakistan's Veterans visited India to play some friendly matches, pitches were dogged. What you think that they were did by cricket lovers? NO - they are only terrorist. Killers of people's heart. Murderer of their own people's happiness.
If you are currently judging the Indian & Pakistani cricketers you should realize that India is very much stronger than Pakistan. India has a very matured batting line up. Once I read in an article that ''Now, India has Six Sachin Tendulkar and If we need win, we should be prepare for all of them''. In the presence of Tendulkar, Ganuly, Dravid, Laxman, Shewag, Yuraj, Kaif and even Rohan India have very much upper hand. As far as bowling is concerned both teams are lacking with enough experience.
Shoaib, Sami & Saqlain are main bowler for Pakistan along with handy Abdur Razzaq but how much experience they have? I am not expecting that new lot of bowlers like Shabbir, Umar Gul, Danish & Shoaib Malik makes difficulties for Indian batting line up. Now if we check Pakistan's batting line up we have only two (Inzimam & Yousuf) players on which we depend. Although promising Yasir Hameed, Imran Farhat, Misbah-ul-Haq, Faisal Iqbal, Taufeeq Umar, Asim Kamal are there but they are not as much experienced to disturb the Indian bowling line up having Zaheer Khan, Ashish Nehra, Agarkar, Harbajan & Kumble.
Pakistan only have benefit of own crowd & ground. But when you are professional these two advantages goes against you. Recently, India win a test in Australia against them and this makes Aussies quite anxious and they blame their own great Steve Waugh, who announced his retirement before the series starts.
Although they win the next match and level the series. But they still remember this as nightmare where they can't stop Indian batting. Suppose if Pakistan have to visit to India than loosing against Pakis in India is more guilty than to loose against them in Pakistan.
