god bless u to face virat, dhoni, raina, sachin & sehwag . which have smashed u alrady
Good luck to both teams..... May love and peace remain for ever in both nations. Cheers
The people who r trying to spread hattered are very few. Most of the people in India and Pakistan r happy and interested in this series. It will bring the people of both nations closer much closer. I don't know who will be the winner of this series, but I'm sure there will be great entertainment for us. And surely it will be the victory of cricket lovers and cricket. As a Pakistani, my prayers for green shirts and as a cricket lover, best wishes for Indian team.
Look at the hate some ppl have :) its poisoning ur souls
pakistani players will come to india,eat our food and enjoy our hospitality and then abuse us.....like what they are doing to USA.
Guys bringing in historical figures like Chauhan and Sambhaji (whose only achievement was to fritter away all that his father Shivaji built) deserve a huge facepalm. Grow up you morons - this is cricket, not an RSS-sponsored '2 Minutes Hate' carnival #orwell
I would like to share my views as a Mumbaikar who survived the vicious, mindless violence in November 2008.
Dear friends I am well aware the the commentators here/aam janta are in no way connected to the terrorists who attacked us. But let me be honest in the 4 years since the attack there have not been any major breakthroughs that would prevent such mindless acts of violence. If cricketing ties were suspended as a sign of protest I don't see any reason why they should be resumed now.
I would love to host a Karcahiite/Lahori if there were prosecutions and a genuine desire to weed out violent actors.
Peace.
A Mumbaikar@PaKhtoon: u must be very proud of ur country, where srilankan cricketers were once attacked by your country's self made 'terrorists'..oh sorry if that word hurts you, FREEDOM FIGHTERS [may be allah be pleased with them] is what you guys call rite...shame on your country, an absolute failed state...
Pakistan will surely give a good fight to India and at the end of series it would be surmised 'Well fought Green, Blue is the winner'.
@PaKhtoon: you never can,t beat us .
@Nitish: its in their blood ............none can stop them...........leave it..........
@PaKhtoon: But will you guarantee us,further you will not send your strategic assets to kill us .
Cant pakistani paly with other team.Why they always want to play with us?We r hindu majority nation and very different from them.On one hand they r hurting us by persecuting hindus in their own country and on another hand they send their trained assets to terrorize us in india. Hight of hypocrisy.
I am sorry to see some Indians using hateful comments on a sports event. This us Extremism. You draw examples of Israel? What about Germany-France-UK? they had World Wars between them! What about Japan-USA? Follow good examples or keep burning inside...
We welcome Pakistan and we want good relations as neighbours. Haters gonna Hate and there are lots of Thakeray followers and Safaron Terrorists but they are few and all India wants Pakistan team and some good cricket...!
Shame on India!
There is Israel that never forgot Munich and there is India that has forgotten Mumbai!
@PaKhtoon ..inspite what Pakistan does to India ..Mumbai 26/11 , terrorism etc. PCB..does'nt deserves this tour ..but i guessed begged your way past it...
It's only because of democracy that we have to accept the resolution..which Pakistan never and ever have..you'll only have jingoism in your country..about Hindus etc..
and congress doesn't care for the country but for thier vote banks..
@Babablacksheep: My dear fellow, the series is taking place in India and not Pakistan.
@PaKhtoon.. Same Chest thumping i saw from Pakistanis during 2011 World Cup Semi final. So i was scared and next day i woke up and saw Pakistanis were packing up there bags.
@PaKhtoon: joke of the year??? u earlier got thrashed...and then even u r women cricket team got thrashed....still confidence??? u amaze me ...............
@Babablacksheep: i dont get it....u live in the most unsafe environment...in a country where ur life is always at stake...u better take care of ur self....they'll be fine! :)
And sadly India learnt nothing from the lives of Prithviraj Chauhan and Sambhaji Bhosale
@ashok sai: We are coming to defeat u in your country... you and your uncle Takray can't stop us !!!!!
Have a safe journey and wish you all to come back in one piece.(Ameen)
