Feel some of Damith’s pain.

by Gaurav Sethi

If you’re Indian, chances are, like me, you still have one eye on the ODI in Napier. And the other on the news feeds from Lahore.

Sehwag, Sachin, Raina, Dhoni, they’re all playing today.

Mahela, Kumar, Samaraweera, Mendis, Tharanga, should have been playing too.

It’s a lot tougher if you’re a Sri Lankan. Go share some of Damith's pain.

SP, the whole incident is - heard Shastri mention it in the 15th over, and then surfed the news channels.

damith, can't imagine how i'd feel if it were sachin, sehwag, msd.

appears the sharpnel wasn't that intrusive, and has been removed.

I'm just thinking, how will it affect them as players? By the time they return to Lanka, the pic should be clearer. But Sanga on air, was ice cool as ever.

Pakistan will be abandoned by all other cricket playing nations after this incident...hope the Sri Lankan players recover soon...

it was nerve wrecking. cricket wont be same ever again. Pakistan cricket is dead. Terrorists killed it.

Gaurav Sethi said...

SV, either that or this is a wakeup call for cricket boards to unite. Cricket cannot afford to lose Pak.

Sam, repercussions go beyond pak cricket, this hits cricket in the sub cont badly.
