Dean jones and Viv richards  ha, Reached Lahore For PSL Final .... 

[Malcolm Merlyn]

I know you are not saying Lahore is as safe as Paris but blasts in different parts of the world are perceived differently due to the extent of it happening.

 

In France, its more rarer so an untoward incident is considered an anomaly.

 

In Pakistan, it isn't considered an anomaly unfortunately. So by conducting games there knowing this level of threat is putting a lot of security men's lives at risk. If it solves a larger purpose for the nation, then it makes sense to take this risk but this is just a game.

 

Moreover I don't see how conducting PSL final there will change any perception. If anything, it makes people aware of how big the issue is.

 

They have to try.Else the game will die.Aussies and WI havent visited Pakistan since late 90s.Thats bloody unfair anyway you look at it.

 

They may be able to play a one off T20 with smaller teams to start with.This PSL final will showcase their ability to provide credible security.

Idiots, a freaking cricket match is more important than a pakistani life, what a pathetic country 

Dumb comment. People die everyday in that region you silly boy.

What's the point of playing like this? It's suppose to be fun time not like going into war zone with AK47s for security

This is being unfair.They give security we have a problem.They dont give security we have a problem.

This is high risk for little reward. Doubt that successful organizing of this match will lead to international cricket being played there even in next 2 years.

There will never be any international cricket in Pak again

If they can provide a safe match with so many bombs going off recently then the case can be made in better times that if we protected you then we definitely be able to protect you now.

 

It will in a sense validate their security measures in the most extreme circumstances.

But even with such security measures they could not convince most international players. How will they convince teams?

Words and promises can not convince ... only actual events. Hence why PCB is trying to hard to get some sort of international matches to demonstrate its security measures.

I hope its a great success and it leads to return of cricket in future.

 

Honestly don't see it happening though.
