Just before two days from the begining of the ODI series between India and Pakistan, emergency has been imposed in Pakistan. Now the situation there is said to liquid...means go to any side... Right now the Army of Pakistan has taken control over all important places of Pakistan. However, there is tension all over.
These Pakistani team looks relaxed here. Perhaps, they are used to such tension situation. But the series with India is always a tough series and there is tremendous tension even during the match. First match has ended and Inaid has won it. The performance of Pakistani team was not very poor considering that this is only the start of the series.
However, now the question is that will this team be able to maintain the high standard of game when there is tension in their own country?

Well all mylot friends are of the same opinion.
I would like to remind you of few things:
(1) Indian cricket team had dropped the ODI with Pakistan when they were playing in Pakistan when Mrs. Idira Gandhi was murdered. No emergency was declared at that time. None of our player at that time was involved in any sort of politics.
(2) My point of discussion is the form of the players of Pakistani team....
Although sports and politics is different, the political senario does play important part many a times on the minds of the people and the cricketers are not exception.
It is different point that this type of situation has been there for a long time.

i dont think so that political crisis in pakistan will affect the match and create any pressure on pakistan players.of course pakistan loose in first match and its performance is not bad i hope that they will give us a tougf compitetion in up coming matches.tension is common to them as it's not first time that emergency declared in there country so there won't be any tension.

well,the players we are talking about are professionals.When they come on field ,they only think of the game no mattter whats happening outside.
Yes,it is for sure as a person they will care about their family members but after all its life and it will pose problems in order to make it worthy.
HAPPY DIWALI
