Post what I had written earlier... fearing the critics backlash when the Pak team land in Pakistan, could Bob Woolmer's death be a case of suicide? Only the Post Mortem report will offer answers.

This is not the only setback Bob Woolmer had faced. He had faced worse circumstances earlier.
It's so shocking to know that the Cricketeting Fraternity has lost an Icon,who was so Instumental in taking Pakistan to the fore,& what it is today.......Soft Spoken,willing to go that distance to bring about talent,not to forget the Team's behaviour,strengt's & weakness...Hats' Off to you Bobby,May God be with you & FAMILY
My condolence to Bob's family memebers. Its indeed a shock for the entire cricketing world and to anybody who learns about this. Just amazing how pressure and unwanted surprises can tell upon ones health. May God rest his soul in peace.
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. 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?
I am deeply saddened by the state of things with sports in this subcontinent. This kind of pressure on individuals is criminal. I hope that professionals must now look beyond money and challenge and pick jobs that they can enjoy with their family forever. May god give strength to his family to cope with this tragedy. I am really very sad. Debashish

Dear sethi' i think you are killing yourself with ill thoughts. it may be your habit to blame anyone without thinking about that. i think the boys of pakistani cricket team might be more sad than you because they have spend time with him. your comments are ridiculous. please show some mercy on yourself.
