It's just not cricket!
From the South China Morning Post, 25 April 2007.
Tigers bomb airfield before cricket break.
Tamil Tiger rebels flying light aircraft bombed the Palay airfield in Sri Lanka's northern Jaffna peninsula, killing at least six soldiers and wounding 13. But a spokesperson said an immediate repeat was unlikely as the rebels would be watching Sri Lanka play New Zealand in the semifinals of the world cricket tournament in Jamaica. Tamil Tiger supremo Velupillai Prabhakaran is believed to be a cricket fan.
