Late here. It's sad to see such an incident. Bangladeshi players are lucky that they were not victimized in this. Things could be different. Almost all of the players were there.
I just can't imagine how people can be such rude.

It is a really unfortunate event and these sort of events are popping up everywhere and there must be a policy in place where a gun holders mental health must be taken into account before he could get hold of any weapon, the last event i remember being called off is the attack in Pakistan against Srilankan players and since then no team visited Pakistan after the incident.
IPL is coming up and i am waiting to hear the experts opinion on the tournament as i am not following these leagues as there are plenty of them. Hope no one gets injured before the world cup.

@Royse
This terrorist attack was led purely by Islamophobic mentality.

speaking of mass murder, this can help you.

The document, which suggests an obsession with violent uprisings against Islam, claims the suspect had “brief contact” with the Norwegian mass-murderer Anders Breivik and that Breivik gave his “blessing” to the attack.

Obviously this is Islamophobic mentality.

In any religion the key is peace. Muslims are the same. Those who think mass-murder is going to help to restore whatever agenda they have then they are wrong. No one in their right mind can think to kill innocent people.

Who gave you the authority in the first place? Who are you? Sometimes I feel ashamed that I am a part of this corrupted society  

I will blame America for spreading Islamophobia. They failed to find anything in Afghanistan, they failed find anything in Iraq but they were able to create a sense that Muslims are bad. Well planned.

Anyway. anyone is watching Sri Lanka vs South Africa?

If you think the same thing going to happen with Kiwis (no cricket in their country) then let me stop you right there by saying that Brown life matter less, that's all I can say.

Not watching live but keeping a tab on the scorecard, SL struggling so far.

I am not expecting much from Sri Lanka. I am kinda bored seeing they are losing the ODIs. This team needs some psychologist like I said several times.

The good thing is they crossed the 220 mark. was expecting another lower order collapse.

There's a major difference between NZ and Pakistan. We can't deny that Pakistan has already proved that it's not a safe place because of some incident like attack on Srilankan, Malala or some more. While in NZ, it's probably for the first time happened. However, I don't think it will be wise to ignore NZ.

Agreed, I stated my point in the context of the larger picture and didn't go into more details.

And I guess everybody aware of that How humble and peaceful are Kiwis in general, even more than Japanese.

LOL this is the first time I am seeing America to play cricket

Who do you think will win? I go for USA :-P

Chances are they have a majority of players from the Indian subcontinent.

Last time I checked their team back in 2017-18. there were 9 desi guys in their squad out of 11.


 

This is from the News : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0pwIQ0mdwM

This confirms that Bangladesh team were there and somehow got out from the spot or something. Thank god.

This is really a sad incident. I wonder if the Bangladesh cricket team was the target of terrorists ?
Thank to God that no cricketer was injured but still many innocent people lost their lives.

Yeah its a shame that Sri Lanka have played poorly in the ODI series which they have lost 5-0 to SA. After winning the test series against SA, I would of thought that would of given the whole team the momentum to continue on with that form even if its the ODI team but it wasn't to be. Right now Sri Lanka don't look like doing well in the upcoming World Cup with their current ODI form.

And that gotto hurt . Their confidence will be shattered by now and really very poor performance. I wonder what the management is thinking right now , they gotto bring some new people in and make some changes.

I think in this up coming world cup, Sri Lanka is one of the team who are not yet prepared. I wonder what have they done for the last 4 years. They had some great players but they could not create their tails.

It's so sad. :-(

Happens with every team, every team goes with some transition period. Some teams find success in that transition period, and some don't, and Srilanka comes in the latter category.

After losing Sanggakara, Dilshan and Jayawardane, Srilanka has never performed well. Current team has a lot of lacking. They will probably one of the bad teams in this world cup.

Definitely the exits of top batsman almost at similar time has left a huge gap in the SL team to fill those spaces with that type of sportsman which one one of the best on the world. SL did not had planned well else they could have got somebody from their local playing team if they would have strengthen those teams and their players previously.

This means the inexperience and lack of knowledge of the management team. Before leaving the top players they should have work with bringing their replacement. Every team works from the root level, if the backbone of the cricketing structure is not strong then it effect the top level.

I think Sri Lankan cricketing structure is very weak.

Well bringing in some new players might help get the team going again and to be honest they have nothing to lose as they have been in poor form when it comes to ODI matches in recent times so why not try some new players and see how it goes. We just never know they could be what Sri Lanka need right now to get them back to winning ODI matches again. Look at Australia in the past year, they have had to bring in new players and it has worked very well so I say why not give it a go.

Srilanka is really under pressure after losing all of their star players. They can't able to manage the loss. It's because of the poor structure, I'm agreed with you. I don't think they will overcome this problem soon. How times change.

Bro, Question is from where they are going to bring a new player, Srilankan's domestic level is getting worst. They don't support their younger player much, and the young players need grooming but management busy in petty politics and cutting the salary of domestic players.

They have shitload amount of talents and passionate cricket talent in the Lower level (school), but no one is nurturing them due to the financial problem. They need some drastic change in domestic level otherwise they are doomed for good.

Seems like Sri Lanka is still going under the scissors of BitcoinTalk surgeon :-P

IPL is starting in no time guys. Let's have discussion about IPL here: BitcoinTalk IPL 2019 Prediction Pool and discussion

Agreed for example Sri Lankan team if you look and observe they are good for batting but they are not strong for bowling, they worked hard sand they struggled allot, I am happy for the winner team but as you said it is very important to work on new player and should give them a chance for grooming and get proper training.
