Pakistan to buy bulletproof cricket buses

[Introvert]

Pakistan is set to introduce bulletproof buses as part of efforts to persuade foreign cricket teams to return after a long suspension over security fears.

Pakistani cricket chiefs have approved the purchase of bulletproof buses as part of efforts to persuade foreign teams to return after a long suspension over security fears.

No international team has played in Pakistan since the March 2009 attack on the Sri Lankan cricket team bus in Lahore, which left eight people dead and seven visiting players wounded.

But the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) hopes internationals could be revived as early as next year following the successful staging of two exhibition matches in Karachi involving an International World XI in Karachi at the weekend.

"To ensure best security protocols for the international teams, the board unanimously approved the purchase of bulletproof buses to enable the PCB to achieve higher security measures for the visiting teams," a PCB release said.

The board was also updated on the construction of a stadium in Islamabad, which would also have accommodation facilities for the teams in order to provide them better security.

"This stadium, when complete, with a capacity of 50,000, will be the biggest cricket stadium in Pakistan. For this purpose the PCB has already taken over a piece of land measuring 35 acres (14 hectares) in Islamabad," the release said.

The board is hoping the new ground and hotel complex will be ready for use next year.

Pakistan can't able save its military assets from terrorist attacks, then how it assures security for cricket teams?. Lets see how this bulletproof bus is worthwhile in future.

How is a bus going to ensure the players security? Are they going to play cricket Polo style? Batting from inside the bus?

OK as you are a pea size brain and a nursery freshie, let me break that awefully incomprehensible words for you

as your question was,

ow is a bus going to ensure the players security?

the secret lies in two words

• bullet
• proof

now lets go to second stage and consult these words and what they mean

1. ) Capable of resisting the force of a bullet; resistant to penetration by a bullet; armored; as, a bulletproof vest; a bulletproof window.

so it means a bullet proof bus is which uses bullet proof glass or another substance to make the transport vehicle Capable of resisting the force of a bullet..

now i dont have a more easier kindergarden version of that

I find it difficult to take your insults to my level of intelligence seriously when your grammar and spelling is at a level than can only be described as "reprehensible" As far as bulletproof buses are concerned, that only protects the players while on the road (and they will be fubar'd if a bomb goes off) the players realize this and that is why they do not want to set foot in the area.

Great! PCB is sending a good message out to international community.

And Haters gonna hate no matter what! Bangladesh is already considering coming to Pakistan.
Bangladesh likely to tour Pakistan in December | DAWN.COM
