The END- Champions trophy postponed.

Translation:

CT has been postponed.

Seems pretty sensible to me given recent escalations in violent activities.

yeah
fair enough...but still a massive shame

Now PAK will go over a year with mere 5 days of competitive cricket Surely this has to be some kind of a world record.

Feel sorry for pak cricket fans. I'd be devastated if it happened to indian cricket.

South Africa went 23 years....

Sympathies to anyone in Pakistan who was looking forward to watching the games, but there really was little alternative under the circumstances.

Where do you get this shite? Until it's on Cricinfo I will not believe it.

Its very easy to read because all the headlines and articles are on one page.

Its being rumoured that ICCCT may be postponed till Jan-09 and may be shifted out of Pak even then, if conditions in Pak don't improve.

Coming to alleged new dates of ICCCT, will any country be free during that time?

article says that the CT will be shifted to Dubai but PAK will still be the "hosts".

"Sotuh Africa went 23 years"

And was probably more dangerous than Pakistan to a touring team. Just like England during the troubles was a bit dodgy. No boycott then but England has Harrods and other good reasons to risk your life.

Send a second eleven and let the overpaid pretty boys sit on a beach.

Dubai, cricket, January, annual leave, lots of duty free shopping..? Hmmm, sounds like a good trip. I wonder if I can talk the Missus into it.
