i am shocked about hearing death news of bob.This is big lose for the world cricket he was the great and stylished coach .I am big fan of him I pray to god for peace to his soul.
Yesterday i was thinking that after Chappel's contract he should be rewarded India's Coaching. He should have been India's coach rather than Chappel & viceversa.

I swear, I had the same thought. Even I had wished that India would give the coaching job to Bob Woolmer after the expiry of Chappels contract. What a huge loss for the cricketing fraternity.
It's definitely a shoking news for all.This wud be the Bad time ever for PCB.He was very enthusiastic, optimistic,but the recent defeat may troubled him much..
Coaches or managers were not famous in the game of cricket for a long time... Its was only the super star players who made the headlines... But Bob Wolmer was the first cricket coach to be noticed... He made the underdogs South Africa a superpower in the international cricket arena... He made them rise from their hibernation and tranformed them into a unit that matched the supermacy of Australia... There was a Sachin for India, Inzi for Pakistan, but there was no superhero for SA... During his tenure, 1994-1999, SA only played as a united force and this was due to the great effort of the coaching legend Wolmer... Its is really sad that such a man died when his beloved team hit such a low... Pakistan might have a chance in the next WC... but they definitely cannot replace Wolmer... I express my heartfelt condolences on behalf of criket fans...
