full force?
If it's not nuclear weapons then, sorry it's neither the full force, nor will make it stop happening in the future.

Pakistan will prove to be an example in the world where it will showcase Excellent World Class Presidential level security to all foreign players, where we will have international cricket and PSL running like clockwork in Pakistan and the foreigners will have complete confidence in the ability of the security forces to keep them safe regardless of isolated blasts here and there. The aim must be to condition foreigners that regardless of the blasts and law and order killings in Pakistan, you don't have anything to worry about, we will protect you, you just come and play.

What type of thought process is this
The reasons for this is completely unrelated to cricket.
President of Uzbekistan is visiting. There is a constant inflow of foreign diplomats into Islamabad.
Touring teams are safe, they are in the main cities. They are not travelling to KPK and Balochistan that is the backwater wild west part of Pakistan. They should enjoy their time and cricket.
The cost is necessary and affordable.

I have a feeling Australia are going to come real hard tomorrow at Pakistan. They have had a day to forget really today
2 of their legends have passed away
245-1 against the 6th ranked team whilst they are number 1
Pakistan could well be 350 all out tomorrow if the Aussies come in with that backs against the ropes spirit!

Religious extremism has been the reason for problems in Pakistan with unnecessary attacks on innocent people unfortunately it won’t go away just yet less focus on religion more focus on a peaceful open minded society is a something we can hope for in the future.

It's just cricket. Most players won't come to Pakistan if the blast is happening regularly. It's not only about providing good security, it is also about how much security do you need on regular basis.

Nuclear force would kill thousands of innocent lives.

Of course right when one of the big 3 are touring.
We just can’t catch a break. The select selfish few who just want anarchy and aren’t Muslim in the slightest are ruining it for the many who just want to live peaceful lives.

What if out of 56 who died was one of your relatives or loved ones?
Would you still say the same thing?

I don't want to be negative... but this tour should be called off. looks like there are people who don't want this tour to go ahead and they are willing to go to any length to achieve that. imagine if something happens to any member of the Australian team. we would basically have to say goodbye to cricket in Pakistan forever. better be safe than sorry.
So everytime something happens the tour should be cancelled.

The tour should continue. The timing of this attack makes it obvious that what he terrorists want. They clearly want the Australian team to go back. Now, if the tour cancels, the terrorists will win as they will get what they want. And if it continues and ends according to the schedule, then the terrorists lose.
If they win, what will stop them to try these antics again when another team tours Pakistan? I mean they just need to do a blast somewhere in Pakistan. But if they loose, they will try to get closer to the security layer of the foreign team, and that's where they should be caught.

Seriously, I have lost all appetite of watching this match anymore.
It’s such a sad and heart wrenching incident that I cannot get over it.
In the name bringing Australian team to play in Pakistan, we are to take some part of the blame for those 56 innocent lives lost.
No, no and NO!
Cricket and Australia are NOT that important.
Unless we normalize our internal security situation, these high profile teams should not tour Pakistan.
It’s not worth it to provide presidential level security to the visiting teams, which in turn, puts public lives to high risk.
Screw such cricket!
We don’t need it.
Play in UAE or any other neutral venue, and we are good.
And you can blame all you want that it was done by opposition parties to play dirty politics or it was done by the Pak army to get sympathies from the west to get more aid - or it was done by TTP - and I honestly don’t give a rat’s rear end.
I am 99.99% sure that this sad incident would’ve not happened, if Aussies had not arrived into Pak.
I don’t feel like having any interest in this match anymore.
Whoever is behind this, I hope they all rot in hell for eternity.

According to Shoaib Akhtar, he was present when the PCB, Pakistani Army and Security Forces, Cricket Australia and the Australian High Commissioner discussed the Peshawar incident and the visitors were reassured that these isolated incidents were an unfortunate reality in Pakistan but they were being given the best possible head of state security and were completely safe and well looked after.
Good post. We shouldnt be paying for a damn series with our lives just so some people can enjoy cricket on tv
Good point.
My argument is that the afghan situation has escalate security issues in pakistan.
The afghan taliban in the past used al qaeda against other countries similar way they are also using ttp for their own good. Ttp is the afghan version of having a proxy in pakistan as they dont accept durrand line..
Another issue has been instead of eliminating ttp, imran khan wants to negotiate with them and most probably China is ordering him to do so.
Indian involvement could be there especially after the KPl panga we did.
Point is, 5 eyes had reported threats 6 months back to nz and english team, and everyonr bashed these two teams for rightly pulling out.
There hasnt been a terrorist attack in pakistan which has claimed 30+ lives in the recent years, especially in kpk/punjab/sindh

I dont agree with the argument linking it to cricket.
Pakistan suffered many such attacks during cricket isolation and indeed suffered attacks during the time teams started to tour.
These people were not martyred because the Australians were here. They were martyred because a warped ideology cultivated for decades has left lunatics on the loose.
Please, show some respect for the dead. They were NOT killed because of a test match in Pindi.
If someone wanted to derail the tour they would have done it days before the match
They were martyred because they are Shia Muslims.
That is the be all and end all of it.
We on this forum are all cricket fans and so the first thing in our mind is cricket, but cricket is a mere footnote in the world of terrorists and the world of geopolitcs.
Once again, in order to remember the dead properly we MUST stop this daft argument of saying they died because of cricket. They died because of their beliefs.
Only by acknowledgement of this can we hope to move forward.
Buyring our head in the sad about the cancer affecting society, and making it about a cricket tour is a huge disrespect to these people and the ones they have left behind.

When terrorist commit an attack do you think they set out to kill a certain number of people?
Do you think they think that ok we will make a minor statement and kill 5 but when Australia comes we will kill 30?
The number of deaths is not in their control. Many factors can affect it.
They will kill as many as they possibly get away with. The number of people killed is not a good measure for the severity and threat of terrorism.
But what if it happens every time something like this happens.
I read somewhere something like this happened in india.
Haven't posted on here in ages. Firstly I would like to offer my deepest condolences to the families affected by this incident.
I personally believe the tour must go on maybe remove the attendance of fans at the ground.
Let's not forget 7 people were killed and dozen injured in the London terrorist attacks during CT17 which was a few miles away from the Oval cricket. But the tournament went on.

It is not a coincidence that the blast has occurred on the same day as the first day of test. Pindi is not that far from Peshawar.
ISIS is extremely vague outfit. Our certain neighbors, who are highly into cricket, could be the real culprits here.

This is head of state level security. Do some people here understand this? This is enough security even for a warzone.
Whereever OZ travel to will be secured.
Pakistan is a big country, life can't stand still anymore, we have to keep it moving.

I am just angry at security agencies and ISI. How the hell RDX reaches big cities like peshawar??
Some one just not doing their job properly.
I understand there are people who wants to present pakistan as unstable country and its vice verse as well.
But its the job of these security agencies to stop check how RDX or bomb material reaches these big cities. People need to be held accountable.

Yeah. Pakistanis are not worth much anyway. Our people are killed on regular basis. So it's only logical to be numb and overlook such incidents. Meanwhile, foreigners should have all the state resources at their disposal so that our "positive" perception prevails across the world. Great thinking sir. I just hope the next time there is a suicide blast, your family members are not part of it while the state is busy organizing games for fake "peaceful" image of the country.
What is the point of such cricket when players are psychologically worried about security? How do we know that the teams poor performance is either due to our strong cricket side or just the mental pressure and worry about security? These foreign people do not have quetta and Peshawar in their country where suicides happen every Tuesday. They are not numb. It plays into their minds. I really hope they stay but I would not be surprised if they cancelled out of security concerns or for empathy reasons so that local Pakistanis do not have to pay the consequences in such blasts.

Actually, this was the first suicide bombing in 2022. In 2021, 4 suicide bombings occured, 4 in 2020, and 9 in 2019. (According to South Asian terrorism portal). I'm shocked that it happened all of a sudden. The amount of attacks and deaths till now have been very low, and I've monitored this a lot. This came out of nowhere.

Do you think the visiting Uzbek President was worried about his security?
Or the Iraq PM worried about his in Iraq as an example?

This is why this attack is really perplexing to me, it's not like there was a large increase terror activity or something. It came out of nowhere.
I was looking at PICSS Pakistan security data, and in February, 1 civilian died as a result of terrorism, 15 in January, 23 in December, 8 in November... So on. Maybe the Taliban being there is a concern for sure, but this attack seems to be a big outlier based on trends I've looked around for a while. Well, let's just hope it was an isolated incident. Still very sad about it.
You can't expect those guys to respond rationally. This attack had more casualties than others due to the target, but yes generally speaking terrorism is still at a much lower level than 10 years, i.e. 90-95% less

Sad loss of human lives, may their souls rest in peace.
For those guys going on about indians on twitter etc rejoicing that tour will be cancelled, if thats true its in bad taste but these things are more exagerrated than true.
for those who have freely blamed india as behind these attacks, like seriously, if india wanted to do this why do this onthe 2nd day of the test match, why not before series started or before australian team took off or for maximum effect - on the day when they landed/in the same city as they landed?
Lastly, now that Aus is playing in Pak - i guess we can put the BIG 3 to rest...or is it that its still BIG 3 as NZ has replaced AUs inthe big 3?
When will you guys come out of the conspiracy and do a little introspect? like for eg your former cricket playing pm calling return of taliban in your neighbourhood as 'breaking chains of slavery' and the same 'esteemed organisation' does not sanction their country's women to play the same game he excelled in?
Look inwards guys, you might find the answser instead just jumping on saazish gravy train.
And my choice, i would find Pak vs Aus exciting and more watchable any day than india playing SL - no disrespect to SL at all.

The Australian cricket squad will continue its tour of Pakistan despite a suicide bomb blast at a mosque in Peshawar, which is about 184 kilometres from Rawalpindi, where the visitors are playing their first Test in the country after 24 years.
"Cricket Australia is constantly in touch with the Pakistan Cricket Board, their High Commission and relevant security personnel and there is no danger to the historic tour," a source in the board, who declined to be named, said on Friday.
He said that since the CEO of Cricket Australia and the CEO of the Australian Cricketers Association were both in Rawalpindi for the first Test, they were constantly in touch with their own security personnel, PCB, and their High Commission.
"The two officials have been briefed on the incident in Peshawar and it is a process where Cricket Australia, PCB and ACA are constantly monitoring the situation as it progresses.
"But the Australians continue to be given state level security at every step of the tour and they are in a safe and secure environment," the source said.
He recalled that even when South Africa toured Pakistan in 2007 for a Test series, a series of blasts had taken place in Karachi when former prime minister, the late Benazir Bhutto returned home from exile in Dubai.
"The South Africans continued and completed their tour. The Australians are also in sync with the security given to them and their security team is monitoring round the clock," he said.
The Australian media also reported that team officials are monitoring the situation and in contact with the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
The attack in Peshawar happened during Friday prayers at a mosque for Shia muslims. The blast resulted in the death of 56 people inside the mosque and left scores injured.
Australia plays its remaining Test matches of the series in Lahore and Karachi and returns to Rawalpindi for the white-ball series. It has no matches scheduled in Peshawar.
Another source working in close proximity with Australian team security officials said Pakistan had learnt lessons well from the 2009 terrorist attack on the Sri Lanka's team.
After that attack, the ICC moved 2011 World Cup matches from Pakistan and top international teams also refused to tour because of security concerns.
The process of international teams and Test matches returning to Pakistan began in 2019/20 when Sri Lanka and Bangladesh played Tests in Pakistan.
South Africa also toured Pakistan in early 2021 for a Test series but Australia is the first top notch side to visit Pakistan since 2009.

Peshawar blast had more to do with the fatf meeting than any thing else. As every time their is a fatf meeting a terrorist incident happens in Pakistan.
But this time I guess they wanted to kill two birds with one stone with the pesh blast

I don't think rational thinking has ever been the forte for some when the emotions are running high esp. when you have a government whose main job is to blame india for their failures from economy to law and order situation. Pakistan decided to make their bed with Taliban, Imran Khan rejoiced on return of Taliban and ISI thought they will now control Afghanistan. However, any militant organization can never ever cease to be militant even if they achieve what they had aspired for. Simply because militancy becomes a way of life for them, fighting and killing people is what drive these groups. What will these people do if not killing others, work in offices and get jobs?
Eventually militant groups break down into multiple groups and each one pick up some new cause for staying militant, that's how it works. Now there is Islamic State’s Khorasan chapter, which has been killing minorities in Afghanistan and Pakistan not because of Australia tour of Pakistan but since last aug/sep and if you guys can't see that then you very much deserve the interior minister you have. Similar attacks in Kandahar against Shias happened last year and the IS took the responsibility for it just like they did it in Peshawar. And if your silly point is that a rabid islamic terrorist organisation like IS or Taliban is now controlled by India then the question you should ask is what good is your prime minister who rejoices on their return and champions for legitimacy of these organizations through out the world only to eventually become a victim of these.

idiotic ideas.
Why blame this govt ???
Why not blame the voting majority of this nation who has been continuously electing nothing but looters for the last 65 odd years?
Why not blame the public dishonesty in our day to day work that has made this country to rank # 140 on the scale of corruption?
The health card alone given by this govt to such a deeply corrupt public is the favor that this public actually hardly ever deserved.
Why not blame those who have bankrupted the country with blind looting, and left the current govt with $105 Billion worth of debt?
Do you understand this number? $105 BILLION? This is how your write it
105,000,000,000.00
This is what it converts in Rs
18,803,484,000,000.00
Did you try to get accountability from the previous govts as to where did this money go?
This current govt, if is able to reduce just 5% of corruption in this public, then I think it will be the greatest success in our history.
Do you know the NAB recovery under this govt?

Look we all know India is funding the ISIS and Pak Taliban too but karma will eventually get them too. As for the tour the Aussies would have walked by now if the tour was to be cancelled. Unlike the New Zealanders and English the Aussies have shown courage by continuing the tour. We will remember this kind gesture by them in future years.

Australia Tour in danger because of political uncertainty
Religious party JUI (F) has called for nationwide protest. Major roads across Pakistan already blocked by its workers and I fear that Australian tour might be cancelled. If it happens it will be unfortunate.

Political parties are not independent actors in Pakistan. Ultimately their actions can be moderated by the main power center in the country. So they won't be doing anything to jeopardize this series.

Is this an actual concern? I never realized that. Can they stop the protests?
Sir 2 things, my limited point was about how Pakistan blames India for everything from their economic mess to law and order situation to Peshawar attack and how so many Pakistanis end up believing it. Latest is the "flying object" from India which took them 24 hours to determine whether it was an airplane or a missile or finally a flying object. As per your establishment, it crashed in Pakistan, how long can it take to figure out if it was a missile or a plane or something else, how about some photographs but no absolutely nothing but many of you will still believe that.
Btw in no mood for economic discussion but debt in itself means absolutely nothing. What counts is debt to GDP ratio as by comparing what a country owes with what it produces, the debt-to-GDP ratio reliably tells country's ability to pay back its debts. And you might not like these figures but Imran Khan became PM in 2018 when Pakistan's debt to GDP ratio was 72% and at end of 2021 it stands at 84% and Pakistan rupee has fallen by over 30% since IK came to power. Like i said i am not here to comment on Pakistan's economy but i was trying to highlight how Pakistan establishment blames India for everything and how many of you believe that.

I don't think Australia will be interested to visit Pakistan again for another 20 odd years. And rightly so.
This is what our nation has chosen and this is what they are getting back from their elected officials. Good for them!

I mean as long as it doesn’t get violent then these protests shouldn’t detour a touring party. Protests happen all the time but sure if it gets violent then it can be concerning but I would argue even then it should be handled controlled and dealt with adequately.
The Peshawar blast was very unfortunate though but that’s more of a secterian problem that has been lurking in Pakistan since end of the soviet-Afghan war. These extreme madrasas need to be shut down, only poisoning the young folk in Pakistan and seeding division.
The regular bomb blasts that were plaguing Pakistan were happening 10 years ago but not now and this should be acknowledged.

The should be absolutely zero risk.
These opposition are led by Fazlur Rahman and Sharif's, one is seeking violence another is as corrupt as it could get. They can intentionally create some nonsense or may be even try to block the passage for Aussie players to get the limelight and focus on them and later blame the incumbent government for failure to provide security to Australian team.
So better to shift to Lahore and let these fools continue their nonsense.

Cricket captain turned Prime Minster, Imran Khan, congratulated the Pakistan Test side for its heroic defence in the second Test and accused his opponents of “match fixing” as his government fights for its political life.
Human Rights Watch has called on the ruling party to stop its threats of violence against opponents and respect the democratic process.
Imran’s political fight with opposition parties threatens to interrupt the first Australian visit in 24 years.
There are contingency plans being made to move the one day series from Rawalpindi to Lahore out of fear there will be violence in the streets of the capital Islamabad where the teams are set to stay.
The brilliant former all-rounder has issued a series of threats against the opposition who have moved a no-confidence motion against his leadership which could be voted on during the cricket series in nearby Islamabad.

We need to get Australia out
Looks like there will be chaos not only in Parliament tomorrow but on the streets.
Need to get the Australians out of the country. Situation will turn extremely nasty tomorrow I fear.
No climate for a touring team

No one is coming out on streets. Its ramazann.. only the khojaymars will come out.
Plus there is one t20 shifted to lahore. If anything happens it will be in pindi and islamabad.
Public cant do disobedience, as they already know imran is being removed.....
Punlic dosobedience happened during the time of benazors death because people were angry with the army regime and that another bhutto was killed by the state...
Hence, dont really expect anything to happen. Especially in lahore

I am just going by what all the anchors pro and anti-PTI are saying. That there are rumors of disturbances in Parliament and incase of violence it will spread on the streets.
Don't shoot the messenger.

Not linked to the Aussies and part of the reason why the limited overs games were shifted from Pindi.

LAHORE – Police have arrested a man from Faisalabad city of Pakistan’s Punjab province for issuing threat to the Australian cricket team over tour to the South Asian country.
The accused, identified as Irfan, was arrested from Sarfraz Colony after receiving information from special branch. Police have recovered the mobile phone used by the suspect for terror threat.
Reports said that Irfan had called to the Australian interior ministry and threatened it over Aussies’ visit to Pakistan.
Police traced the suspect from the mobile number, he used for a call to the Australian officials, and his call data.
The accused was presented before an anti-terrorism court, which has approved a 14-day physical remand of Irfan for further interrogation.
Earlier this month, Australian players flew back to their country after completing the 38-day historic day tour to Pakistan.
During the visit, they played Test and ODI series and a T20I match in Rawalpindi and Lahore.

Tragic news of the Karachi blast - something like this happening during an international tour could spell trouble
