I am very much shocked to hear the sad and sudden demise of Pakistan's Coach Bob Woolmer. He is an Indian (as he was born in Kanpur) and his father himself played a Ranji Cricket.
This game - Cricket, has been given a BIG HYPE by the Media and mostly by US - People, who we call ourselves as Great Fans.
Cricket - yes.. is a Big Passion to many of us, including me. There have been many occasions, we have missed our schools, colleges and now our office duties too, just to support our teams. But many of us, have become so much attached to it, as great fans, we are NOT able to TOLERATE the defeat of our country to anyone.
There used to be a SILENT WAR, when Great Teams - India and Pakistan faced each other, in any venues - so much so, both the country men, were obsessed with the game.
Ofcourse, the hype our Indian Team have got, is totally because of OUR FAITH, LOVE for them. We have made them HEROS, overnight. We have PRAYED for our COUNTRY's WIN in all our prayers - even though, many of us, have not prayed for our OWN life's success - such is our LOVE for our Country's Game's representative.
But LIFE IS A GAME. Everyday is NOT Sunday. We can't expect our everyday to win.
One has to stand for the occasion and ready to face the situation.
Our TEAM INDIA now does not require any BATTING / Bowling / Fielding Coaching. They require OUR MORAL Support and our cricketers have to LEARN how to face the Expectations of OVER 1 BILLION People's DREAMS.
Please be with them (I was also too rude to abuse them, when I saw them loosing so badly on the other day, against Bangladeshi men).
Indian Team is NOT a NAYAK, but they are KAL NAYAK people.
India will EMERGE as WINNERS and bring Laurels to our NATION and SMILE back to their fans.
Even if they did not, THIS IS NOT THE END OF THE WORLD.
To team and to coach - Do your BEST, Play to your fullest and remember that you are playing for the NATION. Forget about any tension. Be cool!. You can WIN.
HUM KISSE SE KUM NAHIN.
If it is to be, It is up to YOU.
Bravo. You WILL WIN.
We can, We WOULD and WE WILL, face the challenges, as a PROFESSIONAL.
Pakistan players are responsible for bob woolmer dead, as there performance totally lacked...all this players earned fatty now became lazy. Inzamam quit from the team captaincy immediately.

Woolmer's death has drwan the curtains on one of the finest coaching performances in the last 15 years..He n Cronje took RSA to great heights..Sadly,both perished under odd circumstances..and like many others,I have reason enuf to believe that Woolmer was "taken care of"..Things had never been well b/w him n the players..Or is it the Chief Patron of PCB who plotted his death??

u do not compare ur country with india. it is VERY shameless. do mind it
its a great loss to the game of cricket... finding a person with a better vision for the game would be much much difficult. this person was a visionary for the game who had contributed to the game immensely.
and if at all he committed suicide or was killed then who is to be the blamed. well i beleive to some extent the fans too... we dont realise that nobody ever wants to lose at that big a stage...its all just a game.
may god bless the great soul peace. my condolescence to the family.
its very painful and shocking to know the death of Bob Wolmer. We all pray for his soul to rest in peace splattered blood in the bathroom arises many questions abt his death? Is pakistan responsible for this?

Ian, I had a different opinion of you. Sorry, I was wrong. Greg will face no problem at any time in India. And for your information I will qualify for the second round, and not only that we shall win this year's World Cup.

The only thing I would like to say that no such thing is going to happen to Mr.Chappel in India.I don't know whether India will qualiy for the Super 8 or not,but if Mr. Chappel is shone the way out of the team,it will be done in a decent way,the same way he was chosen and selected for the Indian team..My best regards and the all very best for the Team India and to Guru Greg for this world cup..My sympathies and condolences for Mr. Woolmer's family.
There are too many questions about his death that leads me to believe that something is just not right here.
I think that just losing the match will not lead him to commit sucide. Coaches just don't commit suicides if their team loses. Nor is this is a heart attack because there was blood splattered in the bathroom.
My Deepest Condolences to Woolmer Family. He was indeed a very good coach who shaped a the careers of so many cricketers and commanded a good respect from the cricketing fraternity. The cricketing world has lost one of the greats and it is a big loss.
