Poor Chaminda was carried off on a stretcher.
Captain Mahela, Ajanta, Thilan, Sangakkara, Tharanga are injured too. All among the top cricketers in the world. Guys, get well soon and stay safe. |

I'm in absolute shock. Why would anyone want to do this.
CNN has confirmed all players are safe. Only minor injuries. Our prayers are with you guys. Come home safe. |

Which score systemX ? No score is enough for terr0rists. Sportspeople have been on hitlist in Pak and teams have been refusing to go there though all teams love to play against talented Pak teams. |

rm7000,
Lets hope things don't escalate. India has lot more to lose when it comes to the tourism dollar and local investment. _________________ “We are helping Tamilnadu to achieve self-rule” - V. Balakumaran, Advisor to Prabakaran, (Jan. 2006) |

rm7000,
Should have waited for the Australian team. It probably would have been more convincing. _________________ “We are helping Tamilnadu to achieve self-rule” - V. Balakumaran, Advisor to Prabakaran, (Jan. 2006) |

If you really sit back and analyse this, this is not just an attack on a sports team by some sports fanatics. This is a well organised attack by a group of trained terrosists for a political reason.
May be they were hired by an organised terrosits group. So far there is no word about any gunman being captured - It will beinterested to see who is behind the mask I don't mind betting my bottom dollar as to whose work this is Just think, who would like to prove that they can still conduct attacks like this? Who is so desperate to do so? |

Hereos promoting the Country
While heroic armed forces are in operation. Our cricketers have gone on a tour of goodwill among the region, but unfortunately Pakistan has failed to protect them to the maximum, but they have done their best. Cricketers guys you are brave heroes too. Wish you well soon. You have shown the bravery in promoting Mother Lanka.
All the wishes are with you. |

Re: Hereos promoting the Country
Go to: onlanka.com for more on this. MR who is currently in Nepal ordered our Cricket Team to return immediately. Gunmen came in a White van opened fired when Cricketers are on their way to the stadium. 5 Pak guards who were providing security for SL cricketers succumbed to injuries. All cricketers are out of danger with minor injuries but are on shock. This is a work f TTE and I am sure by doing this they have driven the last nail to their coffin. Nw no one ever will sympathize with them  |
