Mumbai attack was the last nail in the coffin between our relations. Now inspite of our history before the British Raj I can confidently say that we Indians were NEVER AND WILL NEVER BE related to Pakistan on any matters. The only way we will interact here after is by military means for centuries to come. The only relations we can have with them will be BLOODY relations till death.

is this the real intention By: vivek paul | Friday , 10 Jul '09 17:15:09 PM Reply | Forward Dear All, It would be all to easy to say that what the author here has said is all, well played out PR exercise. We need to realize what we are loosing but being stubborn with OUR positions. Now is the time time, where we can work towards building a better future. Where our kids would play cricket together, rather than being worried sick about the uncertainty lurking towards our east, sit and think for a moment before its even harder to make amends. We simply cant wish away the fact the we share our history and our futures (however much you would want to deny it) the choice is ours the future is our.Best!

Pakis are Chameleons....India stay away from themBy: sanjeev | Thursday , 9 Jul '09 9:29:42 AM Reply | Forward They (pakis) have habbit of making stories.

Self promotion attemptBy: sohail | Thursday , 9 Jul '09 5:58:49 AM Reply | Forward Iam not so sure about this at all since 89 which was Sachin's first series and he was just playing his first match and did not play a big innings India never toured Pakistan till 2004 so what the hell he is talking about? Second instance for sure is not correct because Kumble was the bowler and he threw the ball to the keeper which hit Inzimam who would not have moved even if a truck was heading his way.He was certainly one player who made people think that the golf carts have their place in cricket field as well.A person who does not even remember how an incident happened wants to write a book.Certainly another attempt by him to make it look like that friendship series was all because of his good diplomatic skills but i don't think many would give him that credit.It has been the bigest problem for Pkistan cricket that people like him are given the highest posts while these guys know nothing about cricket.

APPRECIATIONBy: S.GURUMURTHY | Thursday , 9 Jul '09 5:39:02 AM Reply | Forward ANY APPRICIATION FROM ONLY FROM THE SPORT MINDED PERSON WHOALWAYS HAVE BROAD OUTLOOK AND VISION. IN THE GAME OF CRICKETPAKISTAN AND AUSTRALIA ARE TWO COUNTRIES NEVER EVER APPRICI-ATE ANY GOOD DISPLAYS OF THEIR OPPOENTS. SO TENDULKAR'S GAMENEED NOT BE APPRECIATED BY JAUNDICE EYED PAKISTAN
