Dhaka- Quarter- final turn out.

KING-KHAN · #1 March 20, 2011, 06:45 PM

As you all know that Pakistan vs Windies will be in Bangladesh.

I heared that Pak vs Eng warm up match attracted 25, 000 people however due to Bangladesh being out, some may have lost interest in the wc.

I was wondering of what will the attendence turn out be?? Will it be house full or not.

And whether Bengalis will be supporting Pakistan or not?

Thank you.

Mr-khan · #2 March 21, 2011, 12:15 AM

and please dont say the match was fixed if pakis loose this time..

What has Pakistan cricket team got to do with politics??

What happened in 71 is regretted by all Pakistanis. It was the dirty politicians, military and has nothing to do with the general population.

I dont understand why we have so much hatred towards Pakistan cricket team? does this team has anything to do with 71?

Do the general people of Pakistan have anything to do with 71? The answer is NO. It was their army and those Razakars who were responsible for the genocide in Bangladesh. I say hate those Razakars, hate those army officers, hate those blood thirsty politicians that were responsible for killing innocent Bangalis..As a matter of fact I do the same. But if I say I hate the Germans or I hate the German Footbal team because of Hitler, I am sure most of you will call me stupid. Isnt it?

You are free to live in fools paradise. As far as I am aware of, not a single Pakistani has been punished for those horrendous deeds. Of course, Pakistanis express regret about 1971. That is because that is the best way to divert the issue of not punishing war criminals. If the people really felt like pressing their govt or military to take actions against horrible criminals, they would. Truth is they really don't want to press for such an action. Only fools will believe expressions of fake regrets not backed by any protests or demand for action. In short, without concrete action, expression of regret is not to be taken seriously.

It will be housefull for sure. Pakistani fans will be going to Dhaka plus most bangladeshi support Pakistan for some very odd reasons. Thanks god the match isn't on the 25th/26th March :/

zainab · #12 March 21, 2011, 06:45 AM

I dont think that it will be a full house, I am pretty sure that no one will be supporting the Windians after the thrashing they gave BD, also, the way they threw away the match against England, thus ensuring that BD was knocked out from the QF. Also, a lot of Bangladeshis hate the Pakistanis.
Two hated teams, why would people waste their money?

Boy were you wrong. Just goes to show how passionate our fans are about cricket.

Jonas · #14 March 21, 2011, 06:59 AM

So, I guess all the tickets have been sold out long ago. People were hoping to see a QF involving Bangladesh. But now that Bangladesh are out, a lot of people will decide not to go. Especially the SA vs NZ game may not attract too many people.

My question is, if the officials see that the stadium is largely empty, will they allow people without tickets in for free, or at least allow them to buy new tickets to watch the game? I'm asking this becasue I couldn't manage to get hold of any tickets for the WC, and I want to watch at least one game from the stands.

Tiger-ess · #15 March 21, 2011, 09:15 AM

Not only there is a huge fan base in Bangladesh for Pakistan cricket team, but in this case I reckon there'll be an even bigger support AGAINST the West Indies team for thier part in our failure to reach quarter final. My prediction-Full house!

roman · #16 March 21, 2011, 09:20 AM

Whats wrong if someone likes to support Pakistan cricket team? Please dont mix politics with sports. I may support Pakistan cricket team but that should not and wont make me any less Bangladeshi...( I am not a Pakistan supporter )

amar11432 · #17 March 21, 2011, 09:46 AM

I say half empty, I doubt many BD'is want to waste 8 hours after their own team crashed out of the WC. Mirpur is a Cursed ground for BD.

dolcevita · #18 March 21, 2011, 01:13 PM

It will a torture for any bd supporter to go at mirpur ( home on BD cricket ) and support PK
WI or NZ ( 4-0 and they are here not we...)

Strange : BD played pathetic cricket against WI and SA and you blame WI for it .

this is insane .

Asif68 · #20 March 21, 2011, 03:24 PM

The stadium will be full and for good reason, this match will surely be more competitive and exciting than the WI vs BD and SA vs BD match. I don't support Pakistan but there is nothing wrong with BD people supporting Pakistan, the Pakistani cricketers have nothing to do with what happened in 1971. None of them were even born back then.

Sovik · #22 March 21, 2011, 04:41 PM

Windies will have support as they have good fan-base in Bangladesh

Nafi · #23 March 21, 2011, 04:43 PM

Would have been fantastic if it was Pakistan vs Bangladesh, this was the one thing I wanted. I didnt even get that.

longGone · #24 March 21, 2011, 09:05 PM

Full house against WI. couldn't made 20 runs and ask why? we beat England who did you beat? and you are in QF...

It is sad that we still have supporters who supports pak against bd and India against bd also... I know that I have seen them plenty...

Naimul_Hd · #25 March 22, 2011, 07:46 AM

^ exactly !
