It seems that in addition to cricket, the fight against polio too unites Pakistan and India.

On Saturday, two members of the Pakistan cricket squad turned up to administer polio drops to children at a specially held event in New Delhi, reported Radio Pakistan.

Batsmen Younus Khan and Imran Farhat came together for the "Bowl Out Polio" campaign in New Delhi, and administered polio drops to children.

As a symbol of their commitment to fighting polio‚ the Indian and Pakistani teams will be sporting ribbons with ‘Bowl Out Polio' inscribed on them when they come out for the third and final One Day International in New Delhi tomorrow.

The electronic periphery boards at the Ferozshah Kotla grounds will also flash the message of "Bowl Out Polio".

Joining the teams to appeal for polio eradication will be about 100 children on the stands wearing yellow jackets with polio messages. The ‘4s' and ‘6s' cards waved by the crowds will also read "Bowl Out Polio".

Ironical, as well as, a good thing.

A good thing because its a good thing. Ironical because if they do this in their own country, there is a good chance they will be killed by the Taliban, like it happened recently.
