I think it will be a long time before Pakistan can play test cricket at home again

    Completely vindicates the Aussie and our stance regarding touring there.

    It's quite shocking, but I suppose they were a high profile target.

    Could put their whole test-playing status in doubt imo

    I mean - who's going to want to tour Pakistan after this? No-one.

    Also, with extremists around the world using them as a vehicle, which countries are likely to accept them as a touring team.

    Put into simple terms in this country you have to justify every action you take these days with a risk assessment - I imagine it would be in the "High Risk" category to say the very least.

    They should still be allowed to tour

    The players can't be held responsible for islamic extremist idiots

    I agree with you - but it will still be a risky business hosting them and it's whether or not that country wants to take the risk.

    Doubt it

    There are too few test countries to throw one out. With Zim being out of things they'll have to find a compromise and let them play a neutral venue for "home" tours
