Cricket Ping!
Let me know if you want on or off this list.
(Apologies to those who have been pinged twice or more)



Cricket is not soccer/football. It is a gentleman's game. Even though the country involved is Pakistan, I cannot believe that something suspicious is happening.

I do however feel that these coaches and players are put under enormous pressure and stress, travelling around the world nearly all year long playing high profile international matches, and in the case of places like India and Pakistan, find yourself being burned in effigy or called out by people in the government after a heartbreaking loss.

I have read that Bob wasn't feeling well for a few days leading up to this, that he may have had a diabetic condition, and the stress of losing and being eliminated certainly did not help. Perhaps it was something he thought wasn't serious and didn't seek any treatment for, and turned out to be deadly serious.

If he had been poisoned, or if some other shenanigans had gone on, I think the autopsy would have revealed that by now.

"Cricket is not soccer/football. It is a gentleman's game."

With all do respect, I’m not sure that’s correct for the entire world.

In many parts of the world it seems to attract all the passion (and much of the good and bad that goes with it) that football does in Europe.

I hope it wasn’t murder, but I know cricket has its seedier side and I won’t rule it out.
