This is Not Cricket!

Posted on March 3, 2009

Gunmen attacked the Sri Lanka Cricket Team bus in Pakistan says BBC.

At least five members of the Sri Lankan cricket team have been injured in a shooting incident in the Pakistani city of Lahore, a Sri Lankan minister says.The incident happened when unidentified gunmen fired on a convoy carrying Sri Lankan and Pakistani cricketers.

Pakistani officials said about 12 gunmen were involved and grenades and rocket launchers were recovered from the scene.

I wonder how long it would be before any team dares to tour Pakistan. I also think they have plans of hosting ‘World Cup’ Cricket matches in Pakistan? Wonder what will happen to that.

    These involved “gunmen” are freedom fighter! And this is an “incident.” BBC really takes the cake in being secular!

    There are people who are of the opinion that this might have been an attempt to change international perception and to portray that the militant sections work independently.
