Bob Woolmer
It has come to light that Bob Woolmer, the Pakistani coach, was strangled to death. His death was tragedy enough, but the evidence of foul play casts a long shadow over international cricket. Nothing can counter-balance Mr Woolmer's death but, if as suggested in many quarters, his murder was ordered because of his willingness to expose the shadowy world of corruption and match-fixing in cricket; I can only hope that it is not only the assailant/s who are caught but also that the underworld figures lurking like rats are found and punished accordingly. The spectre of match-fixing has hung over the world of cricket for a great many years now and the ICC must act firmly and decisively to root out this evil.

Capitalism is killing cricket - literally it would seem.
Investigators may find that the criminals have friends in high places.
Though as yet I am unconvinced that crickt corruption is the motive for the murder.
I've posted a Woolmer tribute if anyone is interested.

If anything, it's corruption that's in danger of "killing" cricket, not capitalism ...
I've also got a tribute to Woolmer.
Still can't believe he's been murdered. Wonder if there's any link with Hansie's death?
