Definitely Not Cricket
POLICE are treating the death of Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer as as suspicious and cricket officials say they believe he may have been murdered. Jamaican police announced today investigations had provided "sufficient information" to continue probing the coach's death.
Pakistan Cricket Board spokesman Pervez Mir said: "The police suspect that Woolmer may have been murdered."
Let's see: died all alone in a hotel room in a foreign country after a humiliating defeat to a small country on the cricket pitch. Nothing suspicious about that. | Woolmer, 58, was found unconscious in his hotel room in Jamaica on Sunday morning and was pronounced dead after being transferred to hospital. His death came a day after Pakistan suffered a shock World Cup defeat to Ireland on Saturday, ending its chances of reaching the next round and sparking widespread anger among cricket fans Pakistan.
Pakistan losing to Ireland at the cricket world cup is like the USA losing to Trinidad in the Olympic ice hockey competition, but with a lot more muzzie national pride involved.
