Pakistani militants now going after cricket teams........ And given how Cricket mad the Pakistanis are this could backfire on them (at least I hope so).

Sri Lankan players shot in Lahore

At least six players in the Sri Lankan national cricket team were hurt when masked gunmen fired on the team bus in Lahore while being driven to the Gaddafi stadium.

Six Pakistani policemen and two civilians were killed when 12 masked gunmen on rickshaws attacked with guns, grenades and rockets.

They just want to make the finals and know they can't beat the Sri Lankan's fairly. I would take out South Africa first, but that's how I roll.

<edit> Aussie's are hot right now!

Guess whose team was meant to be touring Pakistan now instead of Sri Lanka Davo? If it had have been Sachin or MS Dhoni pulling shrapnel out of their arses the missiles would be flying now.
As an aside I heard that the Indian team were enjoying it in enzed because there was little need for security, they only had 2 guys looking after them. Betcha that'll be re-visited as well as with the Aussies in SA.

No, that would be Gridiron or whatever it is you call your version of rugby.

I think you mean baseball. Because "pitchers" can only play every 4th day and the manager wears a uniform and doesn't play at all.

just noticed this: the players are called cricketers, and not cricketeers, as i'd expect

carry on...
