ICC to scrap venue for Champs trophy??

Question

I have read this article which says they are going to cancel one of the venue's in Pakistan because of all the bombings...

The place that is going to be cancelled is Rawalpindi, which adjoins the capital Islamabad, is likely to be dropped as a venue, which would leave all the trophy matches to be played in the southern port city of Karachi and the eastern cultural capital of Lahore.

But also they are putting back the starting date too..It was meant to start on he 11/9 but they are now starting on the 12/9...

Do you think this really is good enough?...

If they are putting a halt to Rawalpindi,is this saying they are very scared there will be more blasts over there before the 12th?..

I think it is good of the ICC to see that it is not safe to go to Rawalpindi, but i think this is going to open the ICC up to a lot of rediculing..

If it is not safe to play in Rawalpindi, then i dont think it is safe to play anywhere...

What do you think of this development???

Answer 1

ICC are a bunch of idiots, second only to BCCI. If one venue is considered too dangerous, then the whole country must be so considered. Where does it say in a terrorists handbook that we musn't go  to this city or that? They go & bomb where they d**n well please, that's what. I was still in hopes that they would re-consider having it in SL or SA, but it seems the almighty BCCI cheque book has won out again.

Answer 2

Well if you ask me this is the most hilarious thing i have heard,,All the PCB have done is say it is safe,we will make sure your people are secure,ha ha ha,so secure that the ICC are pulling out of one of the venues,this is the joke of the year as far as i am concerned.

How can they say it is safe if the have to cancel one of the venues?..

I agree with One in a million,take it to Sri Lanka,at least it will be safe over there...

Answer 3

lol at Bingalee and the questioner, how jealous you are from the big status of BCCI calling them idiots, if i reply you , you will again walk into the old shell of being a weak gender and being targetted , you people don't own your actions, lol ~

trolls, don't worry,.i'm making my account stronger, i will put a stop to your bull sh it for ever ~ lol !

and what is the Q? lol , hilarious, your cowards don't wanna play , then don't come but stop this bull s hit of dragging BCCI into it ~

Answer 4

well Sri Lanka is a safer place to be, i sure as h**l wouldnt want to be playing over in Pakistan at the moment, but lets be honest here, SL could do with the fianancial boost that it would give them

having recently heard that apparently the PCB are going to cancel 3 venues cos they are not safe, makes you wonder about the rest of them doesnt it

Answer 5

Move the venue to Sri Lanka! Its not safe! Pakistan is an unpredictable country and another bomb will go off sooner or later. If the ICC really cared about their players, they would choose the safer option and change the venue to Sri Lanka or South Africa.

Answer 6

Sri lanka si the safest place as Indian team was given son much hospitality.

Answer 7

if the asia cup can be played in pakistan. i cant see why the champions trophy cant. i think the security of pakistan has improved over the last couple of months (with the exception of the latest bombings). maybe if they restrict it to lahore, karachi, and possibly multan, i can't see why not.  

Answer 8

Sri lanka can be safe & beautiful place toplay champions trophy.

because every other alternative venues are more or less give some trouble
