If Woolmer was murdered…

Cricket has fallen to a new low. Who would have thought that there would be lower point for cricket than the match fixing scandal? Here we are at the premier event in the cricket world, the 2007 ICC World Cup, and the coach of a cricket team may have been murdered in his hotel room because of a game of cricket! What a nightmare.

The air is thick with rumors. Betting Mafia, strychnine poisoning, deranged fan, signs of strangulation!! Sarfraz Nawaz, who seems to have lost it, is mouthing off like a loose cannon, accusing everybody he can think of. The man has no credibility, so it is better to ignore most of what he has to say. For now the death is being termed as ‘suspicious’ and when asked if he was saying that it was murder, Mark Shields, Deputy Commissioner of Police, Jamaica, clarified “I am not saying that” and that “it was too early to speculate.” So let us hold back on the accusations and let the Jamaican Police conclude their investigation. This time, I hope nobody will question the competence of another third world country’s police force. We all know how that turned out the last time.

If it was murder, I don’t even know whether we should carry on. I mean this is ridiculous, how can one enjoy this World Cup anymore?
