Why is the Pakistani foreign minister pitching for Indo-Pak cricket matches? Anyone who has watched even one of these matches can attest to the fact that there is nothing 'gentlemanly' about them. They are played as if both countries are at war again. If anything, they add fuel to the fire that has been burning since 1947.

In the wake of the recent blasts in Mumbai, this suggestion is not only absurd but totally insensitive and should be turned down decisively. Or else Pakistan's next suggestion will be to employ Ajmal Kasab as the 3rd umpire!
