Cricket in Pakistan

Fucking hell. That's about it really.
If you cut a gandiseeg in half, do you get two gandiseegs or two halves of a gandiseeg?

I hate cricket but I'd have to be in a really bad mood to do that.

Cricket is almost a religion to many out there. Just goes to show that the terrorists know what they are doing when it comes to getting attention. Really nasty stuff, I hope this doesn't have repercussions for the IPL after this and what happened towards the end of last year.

With my parents being Pakistani and being a Cricket fan, this is just horrible on so many levels. Looks like Pakistan won't be co-hosting the 2011 World Cup or anything else for a while :(

I think that people that did this are not friends of Pakistan. As Imran Khan put it (roughly) if Pakistan can't host a cricket match without a terrorist attack taking place, what chance do they have of attracting multinational companies to create factories and jobs in the country?
