Event: | Sri Lanka in Pakistan 2008/09 |
DateLine: 10th March 2009
The Sri Lankan cricket team had inadequate security when they were attacked by a group of heavily armed men in Lahore last week, coach Trevor Bayliss said on Tuesday.
 
Seven Pakistanis -- six policemen and the driver of the bus carrying match officials -- were killed in last Tuesday's attack, while six Sri Lankan players and two team officials were injured. 
"In hindsight there just wasn't enough security and .... even the police chief and the security people have actually said there was a lack of security," Bayliss said in Sydney. Bayliss said security for the first test in Karachi had been better than for the second test in Lahore. 
"In Karachi we had the small trucks out the front and some behind but we also had a truck either side of us with guys standing up through the roof with a fixed machine gun on either side," he added. "That wasn't there in Lahore so there was probably a little bit less in Lahore than in Karachi and definitely less than what was seen when we were there for the one-day series a month before."LATEST SCORES
