Why so few weekend games in Pakistan?

I realise not all countries have Saturday and Sunday as their weekend for leisurely activities, but from a Western perspective playing the past test and ODI series almost exclusively on weekdays seemed rather unusual. Any reason for doing so?

No Team wants to Stay in Pakistan for longer than they have to for security reasons

I don't quite get that - security is unavailable at the weekend?

Perhaps weekend means more crowds meaning that the provision of security becomes harder. Strange as it may sound given the current Pakistan situation sparsely filled stadiums may be a better option.

The last game was penciled in for this sunday at the start of the tour, but since the game has been switched to Lahore they must have moved it a day forward, the 2nd ODI was played on a SAT, i also think Cricfan was right also because they were playing every two days so the matches were played on which ever days the game landed on.

Josh - your full of shit, which is nothing new.

Wby is it because I am pointing to things that are uncomfortable for you ? Yep shoot the messenger that should fix the real problems.

Not really it's a bit obvious that you here just to troll and take cheap shots at Pakistan/Islam at every opportunity, thank god no one one is taking your crap seriously esp that ridiculous poll.

Read what you want, hear what you want. Fine by me. Won't change reality though. All I can sense is that the changing ground realities have made normally balanced guys like you quite touchy !

Makaveli, Josh on this thread has said nothing that's not true. You did accept yourself that CricFan was right - what, other than something similar to that, has Josh said (on this thread)?

No mate i think it's a bit odd that there are hundreds of ppl on this forum and your the only poster with opinions on Pakistan's problems and yes we do have them i'm not denying this, even sadder thing is most of your posts are regarding hoe bad Pak is, i find this strange esp comming from a guy whose country has their own major problems which one was posted just a few hours ago (a lot more from where that came from too), why not discuss them? instead pointing out others flaws take a look in the mirror first.

Yeah right, I don't talk about India's problems.
