Lawson says India-Pak series is equal to Ashes!

Pakistan's new coach Geoff Lawson has rated the team's traditional rivalry with cross-border rivals India as the mother of all cricket battles.
The former Australian fast bowler said that to beat India in India is about 10 Ashes series wrapped in one.The biggest series of the decade happens in India. Beating India in India is about 10 Ashes series wrapped in one. It's like another war over there,"
Pakistan is due to tour India in November and December to play three Tests and five ODIs.
Lawson in his column also expressed astonishment over the Australian hockey team's pull out from the Champions Trophy tournament due to be held in Lahore in December.
"Sports people in the subcontinent are deities almost. If you are involved in sport, that's the safest situation to be in.There are less concerns than I have going to London or New York. I was in England in 2005 when all the bombs went off and that was scary"
May be Pakistan needs to hire more foreigners to propagate safety in Pakistan!
