The whole cricketing world will remember him as a revolutionary coach who changed cricket with his modern and hi tech approach. My salute to this great person.

a true gentleman and brough the coaching levels to new heights. I express my deep condolences to his family. Its not just a loss to his family but to the game itself.
ICC World Cup 2007 would remain etched in publice memory for a long time to come, no thanks to the untimely passing away of one of cricket's greatest coaches, Bob Woolmer. This should serve as a wake up call to the publice in general and the media in particular to treat cricket as nothing more than an unpredictable game. Over hype by the media leads to irrational expectations among the largely ignorant public in the sub continent. The constant media glare places immense pressure on the players, captain and coach in particular. One may never know what caused the sad and shocking demise of Bob Woolmer, but one can only hope and pray that such a distressing incident does not happen in the field of any sport. On behalf of the Indian people, I convey my heartfelt condolences to the bereaved family. Rest in peace, Bob Woolmer.

I agree with you. When an Indian team or a Pakistan team exits from World Cup Hockey its not taken so seriously. But why only cricket. All this happens because of the hype that is created around the game by the media. Winning and losing are a part of any game. We should learn to take them into our stride and go ahead with life. It does not matter who wins. What matters is only how we fought before we lose. Again cricket is a game of glorious uncertainities. Anything may befall any team on a given day.
Its not only another to shock to Pakistani cricket team but also to the entire cricketing arena. It was impossible for one to believe this news when everyone had just seen this man on TV a day ago. My condolences are with Bob's family. May you rest in peace
its really shocking news for world cricket that Bob woolmer, one of the best coach is not with us.Deepest condolence,may god give strength to his family.
it is a very sad day for cicket for the untimely death of mr woolmer,coach of pakistan and though what he had went thru in those final moments shall remain a mystery.,we pray ure soul rest in peace ,and may god bless ure family with solemnity and peace .
As an avid cricket fan, and like millions of other cricket fans who are saddened by the sad demise of Coach Bob Woolmer, i deeply condole the untimely death of a great man. With his new innovative ideas and beliefs , the man himself was successful every where he went . More disturbing is his time of death as Pakistan were thrown out of the world cup. This optimises the point that stress can really down a person to such an extent that bears such fruits like the death of Coach Bob Woolmer. My deepest condolences to his family.
Cricket has lost one of the greatest and one of the most innovative coaches.
My heartfelt condolences to the family of Late.Bob Woolmer and my sympathies to the Pakistan Team who would be devastated hearing this news. May his soul rest in peace. Lets pray that his family and the Pakistani team overcome this moment of crisis soon.
Pakistan never deserved to have a coach as polished and wised as bob. Paki's are the root cause to any disaster and thats why they are called as the susprise package.
They may be our traditional rivals in cricket. But at this moment of crisis please have some kind words for them than being harsh. Such kind of crisis might befall anyone and we should do our best not to add oil to fire.
