More Cricket Talk/RIP Bob Woolmer

Probably to suggest that Woolmer was in serious trouble since Pakistan is out of the World Cup. But when I accessed CricInfo.com later, I realized Bob had really passed away! And I am sure that Pakistan's loss to West Indies and Ireland were somehow responsible for it. Perhaps he committed suicide or the losses truly affected his well being. He had medical problems as well, confirmed by Pakistani officials. Anyways, may his soul rest in peace. Sad to see a life lost over a mere sport.While having a conversation over lunch with a Pakistani friend today, we talked about C++ (that's all I feel I am doing this semester) and cricket of course. I was informed that Pakistanis were feeling really sad over Woolmer passing away. Because he indeed was a good coach. So ironical how a single loss can blemish an entire career, making past achievements completely worthless. Als...
