"John, nothing end with hapy note...I didnt one with south africa..."
These are the words said by Bob Woolmer to John Wright after 2003 final loss to India. Hardly one one would have expect this words turn to be so bitter true for him.
He is the man responsible for taking the coachin a level higher. The coaching analysis, the different techniques in coaching and the important of fielding in ODI are few things where he played an important contribution.
The modern cricket owe him a lot. But the man who had given almost everything to cricket more than 100%, in return so little. Hansie cronje saga, then 1999 World cup exist after a tie for south africa , then humilation by shoib akhtar ( spat on teh field) and an early exist from WC after lossin to Ireland. Definatly he desrev none of this taking into acount his dedication and enthus toward cricket.
India loss to bangladesh or Pakistan's early exist arent shocked me so much as this news. May be I cant follow the world cup further with my full passion.
He has an Indian geographical root coincidently. One of the greates coach ever born in Kanpur in 14th May 1948.
His loss will leave a void in the cricket world.
My Condolence to his family and may his soul rest in peace.
