According to reports just emerging Mehar Mohammad Khalil, the hero bus driver in Lahore was also the pilot of US Airways plane that successfuly landed in Hudson River. At the time due to political pressure he was forced to adopt the name Chesley Sullenberger.
To avoid publicity he returned to Lahore and became a part time bus driver to blend in to society. In the afternoons he instructed Pak captain Younus Khan on the best ways to bat against Murali and Mendis.
Mr Khalil has revealed that SL Sports Minister Mr Big House phoned him this morning to offer him the job of bowling coach with the responsibility of eradicating the no ball problem of Dilhara Fernando and making him bowl straight. Mr Khalil said he was forced to turn this job down as the task was beyond the ability of any man even one who managed two miracles in such short a time.

I am angry. I am frustrated. I wanted to write this for a long time, but could not. I could not get the courage to write about this incident. I hated Set Max for this. I did not come to know about the incident till the mid-innings break when Srinath and Charu were talking about it.
Terrorists attacked the Sri Lanka team bus at Lahore, but you all know about it. I was literally trembling when I heard about the happenings. Without a moments delay, I switched to CNN. Eight policemen were killed, trying to save the Sri Lankan cricketers. I cried for them.
Yes, Sangakkara does not regret touring Pakistan because he is a professional. Yes, Jayasuriya is putting up a brave front and proclaiming that no one is seriously hurt. No NATIONAL HERO is seriously hurt. I felt bad. Not because no one was hurt, I am not a sadist. I was sad because 5 national heroes had already lost their lives. Their families totally regret Sri Lanka touring Pakistan.
These security men deserve to belt riot mobs, not defend against proliferated Kalashnikovs and AKs and hand grenades. Frigging Hand Grenades!
This post is for the men who lost their lives. Yes you cricket fans, I mean it. They may be more important on the cricket field, but every human is equal. Pardon my brashness, but I would like everyone to spare a thought for the real heroes. Thats all.
