Memories of 3/3 Linger in the Cricket World...

A year on, perhaps the best way to remember 3/3 is to realize how fragile life really is,...... as it was on that day a year ago near the Gaddafi stadium in Lahore when the bus carrying the Sri Lankan cricketers came under terrorist attacks, injuring a few including a Pakistan umpire, throwing cricket in Pakistan is further turmoil as if in evidence, the horror of it permanently imprinted on the minds of Sri Lankan cricketers such as Thilan Samaraweera, Mahela Jayawardene and their families. Cricket and terrorism were becoming uncomfortable co-existing words before, but it was brought closer to home.
