Former Australian Legend Greg Chappell recently made a statement on Pakistan Cricket. The issue was the refusal of international cricket teams to tour Pakistan for Test or ODI series for security reasons. Chappell was in favor of Australian team’s decision of not to tour Pakistan to play in the ICC Champions Trophy this year. Chappell also added that Pakistan had to take serious steps to save the cricket in Pakistan. Blasts can happen anywhere in the world but Pakistan had some serious problems from the start of this year. There is a sudden increase in terrorist activities since January 2008 and there are many problems at the political level also. According to Chappell, Pakistan is a dangerous place to visit for cricket teams.
Pakistan Cricket had a disastrous nine months in 2008. Top teams like Australia, South Africa, New Zealand, England and West Indies have refused to tour Pakistan for security reasons. Australia refused to tour Pakistan earlier this year for a series scheduled by ICC due to several bomb blasts. And due to this Pakistan hadn’t played a single test match in 2008! The biggest blow for Pakistan came when ICC was forced to postpone the ICC Champions Trophy till the next October as five of the eight teams had refused to tour Pakistan after severe bomb blasts in Pakistan.
Greg Chappell has added that he had a lot of sympathy for Pakistan he also felt that teams like Australia and New Zealand have realistic reasons to fear to traveling to Pakistan. He mentioned that when New Zealand last toured Pakistan, there was a huge bomb blast in Karachi. The players saw several human bodies around them and they were really scared.

Sports Communities, Sports Networks and More
Allies of the sport
Over years, as the internet became more easily accessible to everyone across the world, several closely knit communities grew across spaces, where likeminded people with similar passions got together to form online communities where they could discuss and share their interests. In a world of such diversity, the internet helped such people to find one another and form their online groups and give expression to their interests. A Sports community is one such exclusive clique of Sports fans, lovers of the sport, ex Sportsers and others who share a passion for the game.
Like other social networking sites, a Sports community is a platform for the lovers of the sport - fans, players etc. Like any other social networking site, this is a feature which talks Sports, breathes Sports and lives Sports. Most Sports communities, hosted by popular Sports websites are complete. Complete in the sense that they chart the history of the sport, its unforgettable moments, its ups and downs, and all the latest in the sport - match updates, highlights and latest scores. The community also enables discussions and responses on all these fronts.
Sports communities are online equivalents of a daily market in a busy metro. They are always buzzing with activity - New goods every day, new topics of discussion, new controversies, new records, new matches - and there is never a dull moment.
Many Sports websites are also Sports social networks in their own right. And they make things simpler for users as they can now find everything on the same website. These sites offer users a wide scope to make new friends, share opinions across the world, and with a few strategic plans and hard work, an opportunity to bring about some concrete changes as well.
Some well organised popular Sports communities have gone much beyond simply debates and arguments. Some have succeeded in changing the local Sports scene in a particular area and some have gotten together for mock Sports matches or workshops to raise money for specific events some related to the sport or other causes.
Today, thanks to their popularity, many of these communities have received an independent, commercial status and are playing an active part in sustaining an interest in the sport.

Sports Community: A Community Transcending Boundaries to Create a Social Network
As a matter of fact owing to the advent of the Sports community many a networks among the families has been rekindled, whose tracks were lost on account of continental migrations.
If there is one example of the manner in which a Sports community can underline its presence it was associated with the Hindi film Lagaan, when it was nominated for Oscars. The opinions and the discussions that were generated in the cyber space contributed in their own manner about creating awareness about the winnable quotient of the film Lagaan. The binding element for a Sports community is a cause or an idea that has to be propagated or a view that is to be generated against any perceived injustice. The Sports social network has also emerged as a viable platform to expound the views and ideas about a Sportsing event.
A live example and very potent one at that that emanated after the advent of Sports community and creation of a Sports social network was that associated with the episode involving Harbhajan Singh and Andrew Symonds. The debate that generated in the cyber space on account of creation of the Sports social network, forced the International Sports Council to come out of its time warp and take a decision that may not smack of any racial prejudices for once. It was in fact the turning point in the manner in which the business of Sports is conducted in the international arena, and the Sports social network has a large part of accolade to claim for itself.
Another example of the outreach of the Sports community through its Sports social network is in the manner it forced Adam Gilchrist to change its views about Sachin Tendulkar in his yet to be released autobiography. Adam Gilchrist had to change his comments and views about integrity and commitment of Sachin Tendulkar towards the cause of Sports.
Sports community has also been instrumental through its Sports social network to spread the cause of Sports to countries where Sports was not played till recently. USA is a recent example where the experts from India, Pakistan, and other Asian countries have created awareness about Sports in such a manner that now the youngsters of the USA are playing it as well.
