Let me pay respects to Mr. Bob Woolmer's family first. He deserves all respect for conducting himself w/dignity and respect in what must be the worst job in international cricket. But what does one expect? Cricket fan following has gone too far now. The media has overhyped the WC now to such an extent that these unfortunate and sad episodes are not far away. How long before this happens to a cricketer? I would say a matter of time before we hear of an international cricketer falling in this way.
So, fans, lay off. Our cricketers need our support the most when they r down, not when they are up.
My best wishes to the Indian and Pak teams - play the best you can and the hell w/these so-called supporters who don't know the game and don't enjoy the game for game's sake but just want 4s and 6s every ball. They are NOT the true cricket lovers... SSM
