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.
Bob was a great coach but its the death of the game, people create so much pressure for players and coach, first of all sack Imran Khan form Pakistan what right he has to blame any player its a game and you have to accept the defeat and not criticise so much that it results like this................ All the critics should be hanged to death
Itz not easy coaching any of the subcontinental teams which includes India,Pakistan,Sri lanka and even Bangladesh.Coaching bangladesh might not have been a dangerous job till now but from hereon the expectations of bangladesh fans will increase and they expect a win each time they play India,so coaching bangladesh will also be not so easy job for anyone.
Anybody planning to take up Coach's job in the subcontinent should be aware of the fact that there will be tremendous pressure on himself than on the players to get the results,well i think coach is as good as the team's mental strength,all he needs is to instill self belief like the way Dave Whatmore did with Sri Laknka in 96 and doing with bangaldesh now.I dont think Indian and Pakistani players require any technical coaching(except for the minor ones),what they require is good three rounds of counselling before the match(this is where Whatmore scores over others).My suggestion for those who intend to take up the hot seat is to ask for a Psychologist and a Counsellor as permanent support staff along with him.My heartfelt condolences to Bob's family!!!
Bob's death is unbeleivable today is sad day for cricket world.My sympathis to his family. Dear bob you are still alive in the hearts of cricket fans around the world. Bob woolmer AMAR RAHE.

You are right Mr Sundaram.. The Cricket World is poorer by the demise of Bob, the Gentleman. His contribution to Cricket is immense. I wonder what would have gone through his mind at the time of his death..
