Bob woolmer murdered?
According to Jamaican police, Bob Woolmer, who was found dead in his hotel room last week, was found half naked in his room, partially wrapped in a towel.
“A bone in the neck, near the glands, was broken, and this suggests that somebody might have put some pressure on it,” the officer told the newspaper.

Accordingly, Jamaican police are treating it as a homicide. Woolmer’s wife, Gill, has previously said that she felt he had died of natural courses, and is understandably shaken at this most recent news. Jamaican police, headed by Mark Shields, continue to make their inquiries, which has included talking to the players of the Pakistan cricket team.

Stinging news, dark days, cold ripples, deep rumblings and immense sorrow. An ominous wintry cloud over the game of cricket has settled in and it’s looking horribly bleak. But Bob —-> yours was the sunshine smile, the warmth, the honesty, the tradition, the magnetic spirit amid quiet acceptance and utter devotion to the game. Cricket loved you Bob and cricket will so, so miss you. To me, the world cup has gone flat; quite flat. It is now lifeless. How can anyone seriously celebrate ‘victory’ in this world cup? Who can be proud of this WC? Sadly, the WC has been cheated by death and deeply scarred by this immense and acutely immeasurable loss. Nothing is higher than God and NOTHING is more precious than life. Your own mantra, Bob, being: “Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery and Today is the present - a gift to make the most of … “. In the wake of your untimely departure, you have been Cricket’s Gift to many. And to others, the ribbon on that gift WILL be untied and the wrapping WILL be uncovered and the world WILL see what lies beneath. To your wife and sons, your family and friends, your team and your peers, your fans and spectators - sincere condolences and heartfelt sympathies. An applause to those who believe a Bob Woolmer Trophy should evolve ~ be it a test, a stadium or ongoing recognition of some sort. A legacy that will retain your warm spirit of integrity, honour and commitment - and one that will forever reflect your sunshine smile and incredible loyalty to all that was near and dear to you. Hambe Gahle, Mr. Bob. Shine on. ‘Nkosi sikhele i Afrika, a-hmmm mmm. True warmth doesn’t glow stronger than that. You can take the man out of cricket - but you CANNOT take cricket out of the man. You’re deeply, deeply missed and very much loved. Doesn’t anyone consider it suspicious that PAKISTAN’S coach Bob Woolmer AND the ex IRISH official, Bob Kerr are BOTH DEAD in their Jamaican hotel rooms after the Pakistan/Irish match? God in Heaven! What’s become of this once ‘gentleman’s’ sport??????

Bob Woolmer was really a nice man who had given so much to cricket. It has been reported that he was murdered because he was to reveal some match-fixing truths about the pak team in his soon to be released autobiography… hey guys what is this happening.. the match fixing scandal is making a comeback..
