Conspiracy theories in Cricket

So... A little bit of a saga going on in the Cricket World Cup.

Bob Woolmer DIED.

So who was he?

Well, I had a very high opinion of him. He moulded the South African Cricket team to quite a forceful unit in the late 1990's. He was the coach of the Hansie Cronje era. (and.. Hansie Cronje died pretty mysteriously as well...)

How involved was he in matchfixing schemes? Was it possible that someone thought he fixed the Pakistan vs. Ireland game, and killed him for it. The plot could get quite juicy.

But honestly; it does look sketchy that a man of 58 mysteriously dies less than a day after Pakistan is out of the world cup. However, I am not really someone who believes murder mysteries in real life.

I liked Woolmer. He tought guys like Cullinan and Kallis to sweep. Jonty was the guy who most took to that shot however.

May his soul rest in peace.
