Amidst all the cricketing action, the world was stunned to hear the news of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer's death. Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer died aged 58 on Sunday after being found unconscious in his hotel room the morning after his side's shock World Cup exit.
Woolmer had seen his team crash out of the World Cup on Saturday after a shock Group D defeat by debutants Ireland at Sabina Park. The former England batsman was made coach of Pakistan in June 2004. The job of coaching the national team of the cricket-crazy country is considered one of the most pressurised in the sport.
The world has lost a good man and cricket a good teacher and student. May God grant him eternal peace and his family enough strength at this trying hour.
