I was shocked to hear of this incident.

Had this happened to a side visiting Pakistan, there would have been much more ruckus
about security measures and I think the test if
not the series called off.

In any case, it is a big blow to play without
four or five front line players.

Once again, we are playing with our B-team. Will Pakistan ever play with their full national side.

Re: Mugging , Chowk`s LLC change of heart.


Sorry to hear about the mugging. Most people just assume this kind of thing can only happen in NYC (though I never heard of any celebrity being roughed up.)

On a different note: Chowk seems to have gone from a ``non-profit`` organization to an LLC (a for-profit partnership.) I wonder why ?!!!

Chowk management should explain to its readers the reason for the change, why Chowk should own intellectual property (contrary to all established practise elsewhere), and now that it has a for-profit charter, whether it plans to ``leverage`` reader comments and articles to make money. Or will Chowk simply sell ad space?

Did anyone see it coming?
