Following the Cricket World Cup?

[The Green Bean]

Just to break the news: Pakistan's Coach died a few hours ago cricinfo

Very sad I can't beleive it. I hope tere was no foul play involved.

 

[rahul]

Bob Woolmer, the Pakistan coach, has died in a Kingston hospital after being found unconscious in his hotel room hours after his side's elimination from the World Cup.

Wow. Stress?

 

[IAteYourMother]

suicide?

 

[memories2002]

I think he was either poisoned, or the stress gave him a heart attack....when will pakistanis (and us indians too) realise that cricket is JUST A ****** GAME...its not worth the pressure and the taunts if someone dies.

any kind of coaching involves stress. and one report said he had another condition...so please dont use your 'jump to conclusions' mat.

Bloody hell. I can't believe it.

And yes Australia>* even though I am Indian and I would love for India to win but can't deny the truth/fact.

Thanks!

Wow, the 5th one was a crazy flat batted swat

 

[Inspector Jihad]

woot...india is throwing down. its good cause we bums need that run rate.

 

[theprodigalrebel]

India did great today. After the Bangladesh fiasco, I guess a 250-odd run victory is refreshing, even if it is against Bermuda.

 

[chuckywang]

Anybody catch that one dude's six 6's in a row?

 

[theprodigalrebel]

Only in the highlights. Would have been much better if I had actually seen it as it happened.

 

[kalster]

I hope after India's expected first round exit all the oldies will be let go from the team

 

[rikadik]

All I know about the Cricket World Cup is that Freddy Flintoff knows how to party :beer:

 

[theprodigalrebel]

Flintoff is teh sex!

Not going to happen. Zones+selectors representing zones=favoritism.

Interesting, interesting

I have a feeling that Woolmer was poisoned... We South Asians, sadly, do not take cricket lightly!

Yesterday's match vs Bermuda was great! I only hope they perform well against Sri Lanka which is a strong team!

 

[Jawo]

Crazy slow ass game. When I was in India I would leave it on the TV to assist in falling asleep...since the games can take DAYS!!

LOL at the comments on that YouTube video

Cricinfo.com reports that police are treating it as a suspicious death now with unconfirmed reports that marks were found on his neck. I still think it is far-fetched that he could have been murdered, match-fixing and bookies notwithstanding. But this is going to go down as the most chaotic WC, IMO. Can't wait for Aus to pick up the cup already, so we can all sit back and wait 4 years for Ponting and Co to retire and cricket to come back to normal mortal standards again...
