Who killed Bob Woolmer?

It was hit. This is what I've heard from some very reliable sources.

He and Ana Nicole Smith were lovers. He father her latest child. But Woolmer's loves was for cricket. In her last will and testament, she put a hit on him.

There you have it.

Ask Lim.

I don't have an opinion on the matter myself, just thought I'd start a cricket-related thread so the cycling threads can be left to cycling. Bring back Flyer, at least he didn't talk about cricket. :p

TV Companies?

Sponsors?

Advertisers?

I mean, with India now following Pakistan out of the tournament, that knocks a round billion off their viewing figures.

I'm not sure i'd want to be greg chappell at the moment.

Those of us who follow cricket would be aware that the sport - at international level - has had corruption swirling around it for the past decade at least.

From ball tampering to information being given to betting syndicates, cricket's integrity has been under sustained attack.
One only has to think of Hansie Cronje case to know of the pressures that officials, players and teams can come under.
There are sinister forces out there who, knowing that vast sums of money can be made on betting and match results, are at work.

As soon as the story broke I thought that it was very suspicious.
Managing Pakistan must be the toughest job in international cricket.
The pressure to perform from within the country is monumental - given the massive popularity of the game there.
Throw in the fact that some of the Pakistani players have been found to bend the rules (ball tampering), then the job of coach is even tougher.
I expect managing India must be nearly as tough as managing Pakistan - and Greg Chappell must be also feeling the pressure now as well.

I always liked Woolmers batting for England and Kent in the late 1970's/80's.
I have to say our country's great result against Pakistan has been very bitter sweet - our joy at winning has been tampered by what happened to Bob.

May he rest in peace.

Were the Pakistanis not actually cleared of ball tampering?

Though I reckon it is pretty much endemic in the game.

A guy I play with grew up in Yorkshire thirty years ago in the same village as a former England international who taught the local kids back then a whole raft of techniques for changing the condition of the ball.

He still swears it was the most useful bit of coaching he ever received.

It's crazy over there, apparently after India lost to the Bangers the "fans" went around to Dohni's house and tore half it down.
Woolmer's death reeks of the reemergence of the match fixers, Rumor has it the loss to the windies was arranged and then the loss to the Irish made the [censored] really hit the fan.
Go Aussies, Todays result against South Africa will teach them to take the No. 1 ranking off us.

Did that involve the use of some sort of mint lollies? Cheatin' poms!

Edited : this post has nothing to do with Bob Woolmer R.I.P.

Can anyone please stop this poster. He is out of control. I dont want him destrying every thread with his roid rage.

You bored? Got no-one to play with?
Would love to know your problem. Why don't you tell us? Failed to make the grade in cycling? Is that it? That what's eating you? Or Lance run off with your girl?
Or is it all those steroids - and ytou just have to take it out on this cycling disscussion board?

The pathologist in the Woolmer case declared, last week, that Woolmer wasn't murdered.

I followed this case : and from reading it, it appeared that the Jamaican Police were adamant that Woolmer had been murdered.
But the pathologist in question has decreed that Woolmer wasn't in fact murdered.

You doubt that the pathologist ruled that it wasn't murder?
The pathologist ruled in the case and he ruled that it wasn't murder.
