Its disgusting that India favorite sport CRICKET should be reduced to the bidding ground for cricketer-bookies

Hopefully Bob Woolmer book exposing the cricketer-bookies nexus in Pakistan, India, and South Africa will be released.

And that might be the last hope to get cricket free from the shackles of fixed games and biddings and bring the bookies to book!

The gentlemen’s game is being changed in the match-fixers’ game now. Report says that there is a possibility of murder theory behind the death of Bob Woolmer.

Former Pakistani player Sarfaraz Nawaz is making serious allegation against the Pakistani Team, PCB, match-fixers and even against ICC too. He has said that ICC has offered millions of dollars to Jamaican government to hide the original facts.

If he is right, it will be really a big jolt to the game of cricket.

Whether Woolmer was murdered or not, only time will tell. But cricket is fast loosing its essence as a team game. Corruption has also creped in this sport.

Woolmer’s death has brought great shock for all cricketing nations. It’s tragic that only death has brought forward his credentials.

This fact cannot be denied that there is something fishy behind the Bob Woolmer’s death.

But at the same time we cannot even forget that if Mr.Woolmer is murdered what was the root cause behind it?

The root cause is still yet unknown but something was there that the coach planned to disclosed but due to fear of deceitful spotlight or to earn some handsome amount someone didn’t allowed him to unveil the story.

This is really a sad news for all the cricket fans as an action of this kind has hindered the spirit of this sport which is no less than religion in the Asian subcontinent. i pity on the people who have played this dirty politics to shape this incident. proper investigations should be made and all the people found guilty should be assigned with capital punishments.

the saddest day in the history of World cricket in my opinion �.. n im damn sure dat the mystifying death Bob Woolmer is a murder not a suicide case coz there r more than enough reasons for his murder that can prove that he wz murdered ( Sarfaraz Nawaz rightly said) like his ucming book that wz going to reveal all the bookies� box file�.

Secondly, (matter-of-fact) he wz the coach of the Pak team but he wz not emotionally involved with Pak cricketers n if one says dat he wz carried away then I think it makes no sense to mi, at least �..!

n thirdly, Pak cricketers� involvement in match-fixing issue that I think Woolmer had become familiar with��

News, heralding the demise of cricket stalwart, Bob woolmer came like a bolt from the blue. More lurid is the fact that it came at a time when cricket fans all round the world were enjoying the billow of cricket carnival (Cricket world Cup 2007). I pay my veneration to this cricket stalwart, which kept shimmering in the azure of cricket world for years.

The new startling evidence of nexus between bookies and cricketers has once again emerged as a stigma to this popular sport, which has triggered a debate that now bookies are effecting functioning of ICC, the apex body of cricket. It was quite shocking to know that in Pakistan bookies have been playing important roles in affecting decision-making process of the PCCB by pushing selectors to select the players of their choice and so on.

Now the recent killing of Bob woolmer has sparked another debate that how ignominiously these bookies are tiding over this game.

It is also a great jolt to the cricket. The respective investigative agencies of cricket playing nations must take some initiative to stop this malfunctioning, otherwise more innocent people like Bob Woolmer would go on becoming the prey of this avarice.

’Guruhathya’, or murder of one’s teacher, is a heinous sin. Large amounts of illegal transactions by way of match-fixing is one of the suspected causes.

It�s no more a gentleman�s game.

Doubt persists about what one is witnessing unfold on the cricket field, whether it is real or make believe.

Big money is at stake. They term it Match Fixing.

Bob Woolmer did become a victim of the game he was passionate about.

Today his death is suspect.

Who got him, pressure of the game, dejection or the Match Fixer?

It�s no more a gentleman�s game.

Bob Woolmer was a gentleman.

Bob Woolmer had expressed deep regrets in his coaching tenure after the defeat of Pakistan with Ireland.

Pakistan might fix matches, but there is little room to reason betting on a team like Ireland. Match-fixing is not new to the game of cricket, but considering the stature of Pakistan in the international cricketing arena, match-fixing in the game against Ireland seems a bit ridiculous.

The shock and shame on the players of Pakistan was visible after the defeat against Ireland and this very shock and shame had its repercursions. The murder theory of Bob Woolmer is an obvious build-up, but it does not appear logical during the World Cup and a murder of a person who had already sacrificed so much for cricket.

For me it is never a gentleman’s game...

And, Yes there is ”suspicion” about his death. I hope it is not so, because that will lead to a big shock to cricket fans as well as the game of cricket.

Peace to Bob Woolmer’s Soul.

Woolmer�s death is a big shock and ofcourse a very sad news for all cricket fans. i think Woolmer’s mysterious death could have occured coz’of Pak cricketers� involvement in match-fixing issue and that Woolmer was about to disclose Pak cricketers’ involvement into match fixing issue.

Surprisingly Dawood�s name is also coming in the suspected �conspiracy� behind the murder theory of Woolmer. A TV channel has reported that no stranger had entered into the hotel premises during the time when woolmer died. If the reports are correct then the question comes in mind� �Who killed Woolmer, someone from Pakistani team? someone from cricket fans and supporters of Pakistani team? or someone from the match fixing network?”
