a sad sad world cup

Bob Woolmer - RIP.

perhaps the worst world cup ever for pakistan - inzy's claim to win his first and last world cup brought to an early end, coach's death, drug problems with shoaib and asif...

if india too exits after the first round, tv viewership would be at dismal low... and the chances are that they will. if india loses to SL (likely, game on friday), and Bangladesh defeat bermuda (extremely likely).. then india has just one victory and bangladesh 2.. easily through.

matches to look out for:

wednesday - BAN vs SL
Friday - India vs SL, IRE vs WI
Saturday - AUS vs SA

jamaican police says he was strangled.

if he was strangled, it was deliberate, and probably pre-meditated - not heat of the moment.

dawood ibrahim? the gangster? he's still around? what's the motive for dawood to order a hit on the coach?

सुजन said...

could someone from the pakistan team have done it? someone from another team?

bob knew his killers too re.. team members probably not.. dawood's is big into betting... apparently, millions of dollars of money is involved.
