Cricket and Lahore

Ever since Pakistan started playing this British game Lahore has had a definite input in its popularization.
The recent horrible attack on the visiting team who are so friendly with us, has caused a huge damage to this popularity and may be even fatal.
8 persons lost their lives. That is unforgivable.
Like all these scheduled attacks the attackers were bold and it appears they were guaranteed success and safety, so they vanished unhurriedly and police was watching like other spectators.
It has made me very sad.
Very very sad indeed.
I dont think anybody in Lahore will be seeing much Cricket any more except perhaps on TV

1954 or 55, I remember when Imtiaz and Nazar Mohammad were opening batsmen stars of Pakistan, our "servent" told us, Doc saab ji nashta ker kay shaam tak chhutti d We were also going the same place so it was OK. saray nauker apnay apnay babuoN say taime layker jaya kertay thay. India ki teem jo aati thee. Gymkhana club kay ground main saara intizam tha. abhi Qadafi statdium nahiN bana tha.
