Sri Lankan team attaqcked in Lahore.

I would think this is the end of international cricket in Pakistan for some time if not ever.

Reports are just coming in but 7 + players injured Mendis and Jayawardene reported to have minor injuries.

whoa. pretty sick. wtf is wrong with those towel heads

Stupid sand monkeys!!!

That's fucked

It's almost as tragic as us conceding 273 in 38 overs and losing a wicket without a run on the board.

I don't think anyone is going to tour to Pakistan for a long time now.

They may well lose test status, as their board is pretty screwed as well. Financial irregularities, dodgy politiking, they are pretty much fucked.

Pakistan as a country is pretty fucked.... which is a worry... at least Bush isn't around any more, or he'd probably be "liberating" them by now

They don't have major oil resources. No chance of that. More likely he'd be bombing their ass and starting WW3 to 'kick start' their economy.

Terrible tragedy for the players involved, and even worse for the Police and civillian casualties. Very sad to see sports teams become political targets as more often than not it is sport than transcends these boundaries and can bring peoples together.

Pakistani official says India did it to defame Pakistan..

Yeah I love how they instantly blame it on India without having caught or killed a single perp.

Given that six local policemen died defending the cricket teeam, it is hardly appropriate to use terms like "towel heads".


If six New Zealand police officers were killed defending a cricket team it would be treated as a full blown national tradegy, yet in this case its treated with almost relief - "Thank God, it was only local police killed"!

Fishboy showing once again that he completely lacks any trace of a sense of humour. As if it's *ever* appropriate to use the term 'towel heads'. They're just making light of a bad situation numb nuts.

Now the Pakistan Cricket Board has the audacity to complain to the ICC about comments made by Sri Lankan crickers and the match offical regarding the icident. STFU they got attacked in your country they can say whatever the fuck they want... And there's only two things you can do about it, nothing and like it.

The comments from the match officials are perfectly valid anyway. The PCB should be laughed at for complaining. You can clearly see some of their "security" hiding behind bushes and even lying on the ground playing dead as their van sits there being shot at by gunman that are completely unopposed.

I worry at how much worse this could have been if the RPG that was fired at the Sri Lankan team's bus had been.

No the people that were actually there need to STFU so an enquiry can conclude Pakistan are in no way at fault.
