Woolmer murder
by Akash Nair on Mar 23, 2007 06:15 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

If Woolmer%u2019s murder is not an inside job then it raises very serious questions about security. Talking about continuing this event, no matter what, is nonsense! If a coach is not safe inside his hotel room then where the hell is security for players and spectators on the ground? Imagine something like this happening in the Indian sub-continent. Teams like Aus and SA would be sitting in a plane headed home. For starters the Pak team should be detained until the investigation is over and players who have had links with the betting syndicate racket should be brought to justice and charged with abetting homicide. World cup can be played another day, human life is more precious.

Yes your statement make sense. I was surprised about Malcom Speed decision to continue the world games. Now What exactly he wants. He does not want to disturb the Inflow of cash by stoping the game. Money is more imp than life for him.But they dont want to fight to know what is the root cause of woolmers death.

you have a very valid point here. i was surprised at the Jamaican police's statement that security is adequate even when they are discussing a murder in one of the squads. that is ridiculous!! Also Australian team's indifference here proves their hypocritic attitude towards things.
