Killer Cricket?
This morning, when I woke up around 5.30 and switched on my TV set the first thing I heard was Robert Andrew Woolmer, popularly known as Bob Woolmer is no more. WHAT? HEY! HEY! SAY IT AGAIN. This anchor has gone mad or is still drunk-thinking this –I switched to another channel then another and then another, the same story on every channel. I ran out to collect my newspapers (HT, IE and The Pioneer),in pioneer on the front page I saw this report. Even then for next thirty minutes I kept on switching channels, and finally the sad news sank in. BUT,I am still shocked.
I as a cricket lover pay my tribute to Bob and to his service of cricket. He lived cricket in his life in various capacities and died in the service of cricket. Just like a true soldier, who sacrifices his life in the defense of his country? My sympathies are with his widow and two sons. May god rest his soul in peace and give strength to his family to bear the untimely and irreplaceable loss. AMEN!
I am, somewhat skeptical about the events and circumstances surrounding the ‘death’ of Bob. I can’t quite digest the ‘fact’ as is being told that he died of massive Cardiac Arrest. Sure, it could happen to anybody any time, but still as someone who has seen it quite often and know a little about it, this seems a bit …confusing.
-Bob had a heart attack, because Pakistan lost to Ireland? Ridiculous. He was a professional and successful one too, just like any another. What was his stake in
Pakistan’s win, except ‘Reputation’? BTW he proved himself by ‘couching’
South Africa.
-Why would he have felt so “MUCH” when Pakistan lost and ran out of world cup, that it coasted him his life? What was his relation with Pakistan?
-Though I am not suggesting any thing, yet compelled to ask what the
Pakistan factor is? At least, I am neither convinced with Heart Attack theory nor with suicide. The only ‘probability’ could be an murder, by poisoning.
Who executed it? Time will only tell.
Meantime, I will keep a close watch on the things as they unfold.
Killer Cricket? No! Otherwise half of India’s population would have died after a shameless defeat against Bangladesh. THIS IS SIMPLY NOT CRICKET….NOT ANY MORE.SURE.
FAREWELL BOB.
Prudent Indian.
On Hindsight,you were dead right. Salute to you PI.
