Be safe, Sri Lankans
Perhaps it was inevitable. But even then, its hard to express the shock I felt on hearing of the attack on the Sri Lankan team in Lahore.
What a tragic way to refute the stupidest argument ever made in favor of playing cricket in Pakistan: "The terrorists won't attack cricketers".

The cowards just want publicity, nothing else. Regarding Pakistan's supposedly presidential security, we now know what a joke that is.
Tough luck for the Sri Lankan team and I hope the hurt players recover soon.
no cricketing nation will ever want to visit Pakistan....it seems to be the end of international cricket in Pak...
The argument of terrorists not targetting cricketers never cut ice with me...but I would have been very glad to be proven wrong.
Even after the attack, they have been highlighting that there is no lapse in security. With 6 policemen dead, many players injured, all the terrorists giving a slip shows the standards of so called security provided.
Its "game over" for playing cricket in Pakistan.

Sorry for the late replies, folks.
Satish: The desire for publicity is what makes this attack doubly dangerous because it sets a precedent: to attack cricket in South Asia is the way to go now.
SV: Not the end, but certainly a long postponement now.
Megha: I wanted the same but I wasn't so optimistic it would happen.
Enkay: Security in Pakistan really hasn't come out well in this incident's aftermatch. The more we read, the more it sound like a bad joke.
