For once I am all for kicking Aussie NOSE UP THEIR B**TS. It will be poetic justice for not visiting Pakistan. I think more than security they are scared to loose.

Mr Neutrality himself.
Australia have decided to "postpone" the Pak tour to possibly 2009 or 2010. In the meanwhile the PCB has decided to schedule a series with Bangladesh.
How much interest would another tour with Bangladesh really garner? Perhaps the PCB should reconsider playing a shorter series at neutral venues. Scheduling matches in India and the UAE might help. This might also enable some players to fit in a few IPL matches.
New Recruit
There should be some punishment for Cricket Australia. What can PCB do and what is being done in this regard?
shame that.
come to aus or new zealand and play.
the priority is to play cricket.
Yes but only if Aussis pay the damages PCB has to face due to posponment or even playing the home series at any other venu.
This isn't true. Local cricket in the subcontinent has always suffered a great deal. Perhaps the IPL will change this, but the Ranji and other 1st class/ state level championships have abysmal showings; the equivalent local scene in Sri Lanka and Pakistan is far worse. If Pakistan continues to host minnows, they will more than likely keep losing money. Imran Khan too recently voiced the same concern:Bushroda said:Cricket in Subcontinent always generates interest even if match is between two unknown club teams. But, a Bangladesh tour would still be profitable for PCB than playing Australia on neutral venue. For any series on neutral venue, the broadcasting rights would be with cricket board of the host country.
CricInfo said:Imran said Pakistan had come to a point where they could only host weaker opposition like Zimbabwe and Bangladesh. "Pakistan will also lose revenue by not hosting a high-profile series."
