^^ yah shoaib actor reportedly slapped woolmer

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

This is so sad and tragic. :( The Pakistani government should award Bob Woolmer's family with the highest Pakistani civilian award (Nishan-e-Pakistan or Hilal-i-Imtiaz). Bob did so much for our cricket team and was so sincere and professional in his work. He really wanted to make a difference without having any personal agenda. He will be thoroughly missed.

May his soul rest in peace

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

Can we please keep such issues out of this thread. For God's sake, we are paying tributes to the man.

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

Oh wow. Totally forgot that incredible piece of yellow journalism by Dawn newspaper claiming Woolmer had used racial remarks against shoaib. What load of crap. Our media does not recognize that racism is an important issue for some people. Woolmer was a gentleman through and through! He did not deserve whatever crap he recieved on daily basis.

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

As bad as it was for Shoaib to do it, and it sounds worse now that Bob is dead, I don't think we should discuss that right now..media just needs something to talk about. Lets just remember the good times yar :/

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

Yes. We should. It just feels so incredibly sad. The more I try not to, the more I end up thinking about him, his jolly nature and his mannerism in face of extreme treatment at times. sighs

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

I have to say that the Pakistani news websites are a load of crap. Except for a hint of the news in the "Breaking News" section, even DAWN has nothing.

While most Indian news websites have the Bob Woolmer story as their leading news item and are being updated by the hour if not by the minute.(and its well past midnight in India)

Even for the matches, DAWN appears to report about only the first half of the match in their morning edition. Looks like all their staffers are sleeping through the night.

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

Woolmers record as coach of Pakistan:


*Woolmer took charge of Pakistan for 10 Test series, four of which were won, with three lost and three drawn. *


His overall Test record in 28 matches as Pakistan coach was 10 wins, 11 defeats and seven draws. **
**In the one-day game, he took charge of 69 Pakistan internationals, winning 37, and losing 29, with three non-results.

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

Pakistan Needs an Indian Coach

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

There are speculation for suicide but the autopsy results are not out yet. We have to wait for the result to kinda figure out what happened. But really sad to hear.

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

Yes thats true too he has retired from ODI.

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

why would he do suicide teaser?

im sure its all stress related. unfortunately i have known people who have had heart attack because of stress and passed away

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

^^ why the heck would bob woolmer kill himself over this stupid team?

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

5Abi bhai its not my opinion I am just posting from what I watched on Headline Today they are saying that one of the speculations are being consider suicide.

Re: Bob Woolmer passes away at age 58

teaser, i think some other speculation may be that he was poisoned. as sad as his death is, i just hope that it was neither poision and nor suicide and that he died of natural causes
i can only hope
