I think it's a case of manipulating cookies
expecting a vacant gallery @Farah: 295 recommendations!! do your country have 295 internet connection? what lucky? if no Indian comment, no Indian are going to take interest in reading pakistani newspapers. Its marketing, not lucky or sympathy.
@Farah:
ET forums are enriched by Indian views and the participants are benefited by the high quality of debate. The relationship is symbiotic as every relationship ought to be.
expect an out of the world 'mehmaan nawaazi' for the pakistani paleyrs...but only off the field...welcome boys to the land of ur borthers!
@vivek
you are absolutely right.we, pakistanis, and you, indians have to set aside all the past and look forward for healthy relationships.Rivalries and wars brings destructions to nations only,it was the policy of the britishers to divide us and rule,and even after their withdrwal from indo-pak region,they divided us.This division was a plan,so we could not prosperous.But now we should recognize the facts and establish friendly relationships bilaterly.
@Farah: I love your comment. Pakistan's media is more free than any other media in the world. ET is probably the number one online objective newspaper in the world. After reading the comments of both Indians and Pakistanis, one arrives at the truth. Enjoy the paper and cricket.
@indian Yes this match is started after paying homeageto the person who died in Marriott attack Manama attack Peshawar airport attack in all Indian gov is involve but in Pakistan v not put a ligation on the others and our country v take our guest on eyes we want peace friendship but unfortunately after read all the coments i feel sad
Indians you are so lucky that your comments get posted here of Tribune. Whereas we Pakistanis are considered as second class citizens on this forum.
why are people from both sides moaning about politics? did any of the pakistan squad have involvement in the 26/11 attacks? did any of the indian side have involvement in whats happened in kashmir? Obviously not- so just sit back and enjoy the cricket!!!
May the worse team lose!
with so much fixing and corruption in cricket, you don't know if you are watching competitive sports or choreographed theater. I have lost interest in a game I truly loved. Now it is much more enjoyable to watch children in the gully play with a chair for a wicket and taped tennis ball and the main road as the boundary.
@Vivek: Right did you loose anyone in any of the terror attacks, bigger country is most stupid logic i have heard of
@ashwinn
Don't you know that if we do not have friendly relations with Pakistan, then we are encouraging more extremism in the "SOUTH ASIAN" region ? Since, India is the bigger country it is our responsibility to make sure that this does not happen. Otherwise, we have the blood of Indians/Pakistanis/Bangaldeshis/Nepalis... on our hands.
we want ABDUL RAZZAK to be in team, this is biased decision to drop him out for this crucial series!
I hate this stupid game of cricket , what is so special about this boring sport.
welcome khushamdeed
huh oh no why do we like to invite people who enjoy killing Indians.I guess MMS or Sonia Gandhi needs to loose someone close to her to learn a lesson
Haha! looks like the stage is set for Pakistan to lose.
After ICC is running the game of Cricket like a W.W.E show.
no no no no no..........
Welcome to India. Hope to see a good contest and may the best team wins.
All the best boys. Make us proud!
Welcome to India. Hopefully we would see great cricket.
