Have your say - PSL Final in Lahore

[The Eagle]

It says this but i dont think anyone can vote multiple times, i am not getting access to that second vote and i guess it have been fixed by @The Eagle . you can however try it once so we are extra sure.

I tried the option myself and after one vote, am unable to cast further except it only says as multiple etc.

decisions are not carvings on stone.

Sure they are not, ok lets put it this way.. what will we achieve if we cancel the Final in Lahore????

NOTHING really apart from not risking all the success we have achieved so far against terrorists and in PSL. It is more about playing it save for now and the situation justifies that i guess. While it is a welcoming news for me to get cricket back to my home but the cost of it might be too high so what i ask myself here is "IS IT WORTH IT" I personally do not think so.

@Arsalan @django @Zibago and others
OT
There are pro's and con's of both decisions

1) If we hold it and anything (god forbid) happens we can say goodbye to cricket for another 10 years and if everything goes smoothly we finally will have a chance to revive international cricket and we will send a message that look terrorism is finally decreasing our image will improve a lot.

2) If we decides against this than this will mean that we've to wait another 2-3 or maybe 4 years for international cricket not only that it will give out 2 messages to world that situation in our country haven't improved too much and big Pakistani cities are still dangerous places to go and it will simply means that we surrendered in front of terrorists.
So it's a really hard decision.

Safety should always come first imo, they should heed the opinion of the appropriate authorities eg ISI, IB.Kudos bhai

PSL final should be played in Lahore at all costs. It won't loose it's charm, even without international players.

On the subject i would say someone need to take responsibility and blame. Our incompetent LEA's for giving false hopes and they should've close Afghan border one month before the start of PSL. We know terrorists came from A'stan to sabotage a game of cricket. If we can't eliminate them in A'stan then we only left with one choice clean sweep our cities no matter what it takes. It's not a question about racial profiling, it's about keeping our people and cities safe.
As far as politicians are concern sitting PM is king of corruption and main opposition leader IK is snake and long term supporter of terrorists so they will play politics on any thing.

I say we keep it the way it was for the love of cricket. We can have it in somalia if we wan't to but not at the cost of tarnishing PSL brand image.

By literally declaring curfew in Lahore ? Sorry sir, but i don't see all this happening.

Curfew is only for naysayers, terrorists and their hidden supporters, i hope you understand.

Holding the final in Lahore in these circumstances will not in anyway bring back international cricket to Pakistan.

Curfew is only for naysayers, terrorists and their hidden supporters, i hope you understand.

Hotel owner's, Shop owner's, and Market owner's are not terrorists. i Hope you understand.

May i ask how will the image of PSL be tarnished if the Final is played in Lahore??? aren't we holding PSL Final in Lahore for Love of Cricket......

Bro. the whole idea behind PSL final in Lahore was to bring (first) International players and (then) International teams. with International Players of Event refusing to go to Lahore for final now there is no point to have final in Lahore.

Here,
International Players refused.
International Commentators refused.
No foreign management.
No high tech Equipment. as the provider company also refused.
Even the broadcaster refused.

All hotels, shops, markets will be shut till 5th March. it is curfew man.

So what's the Point now ?

Who told you all hotels, shops and markets will be closed till 5th March? Everything is running as smoothly as usual except for the shops "Inside" Nishtar Sports Complex" which will be closed from 3rd till 5th March. Darren Sammy and Samuels have already confirmed that they will come to Lahore if PZ is in the final. If this year a few international players come and there is no incident then it will encourage other to participate next year and maybe the next step would be to invite an International team.

Purpose of PSL is to provide entertainment to people of Pakistan, doesn't matter if foreign players participate or not.

for now its all IF's & BUT's and all this will continue till PSL Final in Lahore..... If we keep on playing safe then we wont see International Cricket back in Pakistan..on the other hand its also not guaranteed that International Cricket will return after PSL Final, but we need to start from some where..... Risk calculation/assessment is an integral part of all the projects and PSL is a Project for Pakistan....
