Mr. Kumar I am from Pakistan its good to see people like you think positive Indian should keep one thing in mind a lot of youngsters in Pak always support India when they play teams like Australia. Guys show some respect. We are still one of the best teams in the world and you will see we will prove it.
It's a very very sad day for everyone. May God Bless his soul with eternal bliss and shower his family with love and strength. His honesty, devotion and humility was a true hallmark of a great gentleman sportsman who stood up like a brave soldier. We all salute you and will cherish and savour the fond memories that you left us ! Thank you sir.
We have lost a great great man - he was probably and very rightly termed by Fanie De Villiers as the Scholar of Cricket - may god bless his soul.
I am a Pakistani and could i make a very sincere request to all of you - i read through messages and i see people blaming the Pakistan cricket team - if you blame the politicians fine but the players - come on please can u understand how hard it is to be sitting listening to a man one day and find out he is dead the next. A coach is like a father you can have disagreements with your father but that doesent mean that when your father dies people blame you for your disagreements with him if at all - may be there was nothing between the team and Bob it is all media specualtions - lets grow up and be counted as human beings and lets not disgrace a great man by using his death as a vehicle for criticising others.
My whole hearted condolences to his family, friends, Pakitan cricket team and to all fellow circket lovers who have lost a true cricketer in every sense of the word - and would certainly like to see him buried in a Pakistani flag.

You are right man. People truly dont understand that International Cricketers are humans and they can make mistakes too. It is just that they make fewer mistakes and that is why they are playing International Cricket. At the end of the day, it is just a game.

"it is just a game"
i disagree.
people don't get PAID big bucks to play games. i understand and agree with most of your assessment, and empathize; but disagree with this premise. say anything to support your views, but do not say that international cricket is just a game.

As an indian I would like to offer condolences to Bob's family, friends, the Pak team and all his fans in Pakistan and elsewhere around the world. He was a tough, smart coach who loved the game above all else.
It is a shame that some ppl on this board are using it to attack the Pak team, board, etc. I for one will really miss seeing Pakistan in the rest of this WC and my best wishes to all the team - I would never wish anyone to go thru the pressures and pain they must be going thru at this point in time. Chin up, boys, and play the next one for Bob!

You are correct. I think it would be a travesty to think any Pak cricketer would have done this. My condolences to Bob's family and I am also sorry that Pak team has to endure not only a premature exit from WC, these narrow minded comments and above all the loss of a coach through death.

You are right my friend. It's one of the greatest loss to Cricket. We all will miss dear Bob and the great Pakistan team in the World Cup.

We appreciate your mail. May be, Media has created so much pressure on the game that, every one is becoming insane, unknowingly. Every moment of the match is being dissected, discussed & criticised unlimited number of times for BREAKING NEWS - for sadistic pleasure (e.g., our own India-Bangladesh match). Pakistani team will be missed by Indians in the WC.

It was great loss for cricketing world as BOB was good coach but it was very bad thing as he was coaching for wrong team like pakistan. I m feeling very bad for him may god give peace to his soul.He was great coach
he is the computer coach in this cricketing world and gave a different view of cricket to south african and pakistani team. may god give him peace and respect inheaven.
World cricket just lost a great soul !! May his soul rest in peace, he was a true thinker of the game as well as a tremendous coach may be one of the best the world has ever seen. We salute u.
