Why International Cricket Needs Pakistan

[siccric]

I thought I'd share this article I came across on ST.

http://sportales.com/soccer/why-inte...eeds-pakistan/

Pakistan is one of the more dynamic sides to watch for a neutral observer, I feel.

Your views?

Great read. Only Pakistan can come back so strongly after all these atrocities. We as fans are emotional and passionate and quick to criticize our team and management at times, but we should appreciate the resilience of Pakistan as a national and that of our cricket team that we are a force to be reckon with despite all adverse events surrounding us.

^ agreed. We tend to overlook the unfortunate circumstances prevailing when we bash our cricket team. We must remember that they are also humans, and they are obviously effected by all this just like we are. The article made me realize we haven't done near as badly as we could have under the prevalent conditions

In almost every team u have Pakistani playing cricket, In every non playing cricket most of club cricketers are Pakistani. From my experince in Norway also knowing ppl from Sweden, Danmark,Holland, Spain, Germnay cricket is in these countries only because of Pakistanies. No other ppl have craz like Pakistanies.

Without Pakistan cricket will still stand and will not have any future other than 7 8 cricket nation

^ even India has a lot of cricketers playing everywhere. I guess our players will have some place to go even if our cricket does die out
