Sri Lanka played terrific cricket and have great sense of team about them. Every Sri Lanka player had charisma. Every move was purposeful. They were nimble. They were strong. They were chessmasters. They were artists. They were machines. Every zinced face was memorable and every name resonated: Thearanga. Fernando. Silva. Arnold. Malinga. Jayasuriya. Dilshan. And the ubiquitous Muralitharan. I cannot wait to watch them play cricket again.

The Indian players seemed to be there to make up the numbers; the gormlessness of some of their chiselled, handsome faces smacked of a sad contradiction or dual role they could not manage. With one hair out of place, they seemed to individually lose the plot, one by one. Who are these characters exactly? These so called cricketers.

Meanwhile, back to the lowest point and darkest point in cricket’s history. I was reminded today of what I had the considred lowest point in cricket until Woolmer’s murder. It was when Woolmer and other so called cricketers went on immoral tours to South Africa during the days of Apartheid. I think Steve Biko was strangled also, among techniques of mega-death employed by his racist murderers. Steve Biko’s bloody end didn’t see to bother good old Bob Woolmer back then did it?

Kind of depressing. As an amateur pugilist I have become somewhat disillusioned w/ the corruption surrounding my sport. I only just started closely following Cricket. But from a distance it always seemed like a gentleman’s sport.

So now there will be a lot of conspiracy theories and here is mine..

I have a feeling its a crime of passion, some argument really got out of control and got physical. Somebody might not have realized the effect of their strength on an old man and could have lead to Bob’s demise. After realizing what he has done, he might have thrown up. From the spatter, it looks like some one tall…hmmm who can it be ???? Forensics wise, I guess they will be examining the evidence soon and might be asking the what everybody had for dinner that day!!

At a press conference a Lucius Thomas, the Commissioner of Police for the Jamaica Constabulary Force, said that a pathologists report had found that he had been strangled to death.

He said: “It would take some force, because Bob was a large man, It would have taken some significant force to subdue him, but of course at this stage we do not know how many people were in the room at the time.

“It could be one or more people involved in this murder.”

Mr Shields confirmed Woolmer had shown no signs of life when he was found in his hotel room, and said there had been no signs of a struggle. link
