HORRIBLE NEWS...

Sri Lankan Team attacked in Pakistan. Sketchy information coming on the news now. Some players injured - 7 or 8 in hospital. 4 policeman dead. Not much details though and the above given numbers may be different.

Very very disturbing.

That is indeed a horrible news,thank God we did not go there to play.

Bubby · 3rd March 2009, 10:03

Shocking news and very disturbing.

Hope the players are safe.

These Pakiiiis

what are they upto?
Edit - ON Cricinfo ::: Players are safe but were in vicinity of the attack.

Eddy · 3rd March 2009, 10:06

Now there are reports that the Sri Lankan team is safe.

But cricket in Pakistan -- bye bye for now. World cup 2011 may suffer.

Just on TV - two Srilanka crickets injured - one shot in leg and other in leg.

According to CNN-IBN 3 players are seriously injured ... Thilan Samaraweera, Ajantha Mendis and Kumara Sangakara.

Disgusting is a lesser term ...

Sanga is one of my fav player .. Today morning I was watching one of the finest innings which he played in IPL.

Man .. this is terribly sad news ...

forget cricket in Pakistan for ever .......

Samarveera's injuries are said to be more serious.

So much for Pakistanis harping on leaving cricket alone and not mixing it with politics.

mail4loys · 3rd March 2009, 10:59

Lots of different version of news comming up, we need to wait for some more time for confirmed information. Hope everybody is safe.

I'm happy that Indian cricket team didnt travel.

esteem_lover · 3rd March 2009, 11:14

Jayasurya is confident that none of them were directly hit by a bullet, just the debris. Hope that is true.

Let's just black list Pakistan immediately. Drop them from the ICC. The world cup us now surely going to SA I feel.
