Re: THE KILLERS
Team killed Woolmer, says Imran Bob was not responsible for Pakistan’s defeat or any other loss that the team has faced because the coach’s job is simply to teach and instruct,” said Khan, according to the Daily News and Analysis (DNA) website. After the team’s loss to Ireland, a huge crowd had gathered in front of Pakistani captain Inzamamul Haq’s Multan residence and chanted slogans of “Death to Woolmer, Death to Inzamam”. “The performance of the Pakistan team is a sheer responsibility of the captain and no one but Inzamam is responsible for the exit of the team from the World Cup. And the poor performance of the Pakistani team is the only cause of Woolmer’s cardiac arrest,” Khan said. Former cricket captain Asif Iqbal said Woolmer’s conscience, a great aspect of his character, became the reason for his death. “Bob had been under intense criticism ever since he had been appointed as the national coach, especially by the former coaches of the team. But the loss to Ireland was too extreme a shock for him to recover from,” he said. According to former opener Saeed Anwar, Woolmer was a very sensitive person and his team’s loss caused his death, the DNA website reported. “It is very sad that everyone found his unconscious body in the hotel room when it was too late.”http://www.dailytimes.com.pk/default.asp?page=2007\03\20\story_20-3-2007_pg2_7
Correct me if I am wrong, but isn’t he the same Imran who was blaming Woolmer for our failure just before he died and asking for his sack. Now he is making a u turn. Typical of Khan Sahib. The guy should take a stand and stick to it.
