It was shocking to hear bob woolmer sudden death.Whole cricket world can't belive this.My condelences to his family. Now adays people are putting lot of pressure on cricket team as well as coach to perform.During 1980's and 90's crcket was played very calm without much tension.
Y'day whole news was about India's defeat any chennel you tune you find same news. I don't know why channels are making big news. In olden days it was taken very easily .They are increasing unnssary problem for public showing the images of buring effegy and posters of cricketers? do they have any mind?The game shouls be taken with sportmen spirt "which ever team plays well will win the matches" and by putting pressure.

I correct by last sentence which ever team plays well will win the matches" and by not by putting pressure on team
Its Shocking to Hear The news that Bob is Dead.he was a good cricket player as well as good human being I am really encouraged by the style he was used in his coaching.so its really sad demise for woalmer my condolence to his family,relatives n friends may lard bless his soul
Bob Woolmer made the world sit up and take notice with his advanced methods in Cricket Coaching. But of what use is all of that, if Stress on and off the Cricket Field cannot be battled effectively. Was this a case of Stress post the Pak-Ireland match or was it a simple case of his health giving in? A man of his position and stature, knew he had Diabetes and was taking the required precautions to contain the disease. Therefore logic tells me that the shock loss to Ireland sent his Blood Sugar shooting skywards, that could have led to all the vomitting and release of blood. A man who brought so much joy to South Africa and Pakistan died in terrible pain. Or could he have comitted suicide fearing the backlash of fans and critics back home in Pakistan when the tean landed there? The Post Mortem report will have the final answers.
Don't we therefore as nation need to enjoy this gentleman's game as much as possible instead of inflicting pain on ourselves by being so 'reactive' to the way our team plays?
Although Bob Woolmer's death is tragic and saddening, we cannot blame the Pakistani team for hos "death" perse, remember truth does rear its ugly head. Bob Woolmer's death to be natural or unnatural cannot be given a debatable tag, as far as the news goes all we can say is, it was due to stress resulting in heart-attack, he found it difficult to deal with rejection, wait till the reports arrive before accusing anyone. condolences goes out to Woolmer's family !
This has been a world cup of disasters both on and off the field. First the tragic death of Ex -Bangladeshi cricketers and now the tragic demise if Bob Woolmer.Bob had a passion for the game and the same has paid him. May the almighty give courage to his family for the inseperable loss.May the Pakistan team certainly repay for this in terms of better performance and good team behaviour in the years to come.
we are asian as far as western countries are concerned and our reputation if down in royal game of cricket then every asian is shocked but that shock proved to be fatal for Woolmer sir i pray al mighty god for peace of his soul
I think this is most saddened news in the sports erena that has ever happened.We have lost a great cricketing brain...our sympathies to the family and to the pakistan team
It's shocking to hear the news that Bob is dead..he was very hard working and innovative coach,nobody can fill his place.its really crazy that media is putting lots of pressure by showing crazy cricket fans,it is putting lots of pressure on coaches..And when pressure reaches at his top..anybody can break and this type of incident took place.
