Sydney: Julie Bayliss was on the way to pick up her two children from school on Tuesday when she received a frantic phone call from her husband in Lahore, Pakistan.
Just moments after three bullets shattered a window next to him on his Sri Lankan cricket team's bus, team coach Trevor Bayliss was on the phone telling his wife he was shaken but not hurt.
"He is fine but he did have three bullet holes in the window next to him so it was not his time ... thank goodness," Julie Bayliss said.
"He was pretty shaken. There were only seven or eight of them that got away with no wounds at all. There was a fair bit of shrapnel around but he is fine. You try not to think about these things and then they happen."
Julie Bayliss said her husband had given her a few details about the attack.
"There were a couple of bomb blasts before they actually shot the tires out on the bus and that is when all the players and everyone in the bus hit the floor," she said. "Then there was the gunfire through the bus, through the windows and the side of the bus."
