Adios Bob

After the disappointing and shameful defeat against Bangladesh in the first match of the ICC World Cup 2007, we Indians got busy deriving joy out of Pakistan's premature exit from the World Cup. After all, we are still in contention but Pakistan is out!!!!! That moment of joy was killed the very next morning with the news of Bob Woolmer's death. Woolmer, who pioneered the use of technology in cricket, died in mysterious circumstances a couple of hours after Pakistan's shocking defeat against Ireland. One can never forget the image of Hansie Cronje with a earphone stuck to his ear with a tape. This was Woolmer's idea and he wanted ICC to allow coaches to give instructions during matches. He loved the game and wanted to be more involved. Woolmer's death is a very unfortunate incident and a great loss to the game of cricket. Bob Woolmer had a lot more to offer to the game. Adios Bob!!!!
