Cricinfo - Woolmer May Have Been Murdered

A disturbing article here by Cricinfo here. I sincerely hope that this is not true because if it is, then the last vestiges of innocence that the sport of Cricket could have claimed to have had will be lost! A sport that causes people to be killed due to the result of a match is a sport that most people would find very difficult to be associated with...

UPDATE: STAR News was conducting an interview with Mrs. Woolmer. The idiot conducting the interview was asking all sorts of insensitive questions about the book Bob was writing, whether it's been finished or not ad nauseum. Mrs. Woolmer seemed very composed and patient answering the never-ending questions being posed to her. One thing that Mrs. Woolmer did mention was that Bob would never have killed himself over a match, thus ruling out suicide and that she thought that the thought of him overdosing was ludicrous. This makes it clear that she believes that there is definitely something suspicious in his death.

The Pakistanis are understandbly shaken up by this news and don't want to play tomorrow's match against Zimbabwe. This may seem harsh for Zimbabwe, who are still in it with a chance to progress to the next round, but some things are more important than mere Cricket matches!
