hearty condolences

this is the "biggest upset" news of the world cup...something that we wud never have expected to happen. we can all say "ireland upset pakistan" or "bangladesh upset india"...yes,they are upsets within the playing field. but does it leave any impact on the cricket playing world? india will still play england in england after the world cup & pakistan will go about handling their commitments...indian & pakistani team players and team managements will still be paid!but will we ever have the use of a exceptionally great coach who took the coaching arena by storm by bulldozing south africa into the cricket A-list 5 years ago!
did u guys out there know that Bob Woolmer coached the Irish team & many other "minnow-sides" from 2000-2004? thats the impact i am talking about. his coaching skills in those days proved its worth saturday which saw two the most fancied sides in the game plummeting to unexpected lows.
to me...and indirectly,to many others...BOB WOLMER'S DEATH IS THE BIGGEST UPSET OF THIS WORLD CUP...AND IT CANNOT BE MATCHED EVEN IF NONE OF THE TOP 8 TEAMS QUALIFIED FOR THE SUPER 8s!!!!!
