Plubby Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 This is just great for cricket in general. It'll be really good to see some new faces in the next round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liam Posted March 18, 2007 Report Share Posted March 18, 2007 For anyone who didn't see, Bob Woolmer was found dead in his hotel room today. Sad news. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris the Human Posted March 21, 2007 Report Share Posted March 21, 2007 News down here is saying that Woolmer's death is being treated as suspicious, as his soon to be released book was said to reveal all about Pakistan match fixing.

Liam Posted March 22, 2007 Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 Ireland through to the Super 8's? Excellent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin R.W. Posted March 22, 2007 Admin Report Share Posted March 22, 2007 They've just announced they're treating Woolmer's death as murder. C.O.D. was "asphyxia due to manual strangulation". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLiam Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I take it that means somebody stangled him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Alan LCSugar Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 I pretty sure the 'manual strangulation' bit would mean 'manual strangulation', yes. I'm happy for the Irish to go through to the Super 8, its one team England should be able to beat if we get there, the same with Bangladesh. Good old Niall O'Brien though, shame Kent released him really, I thought he could give Jones a good run for his money. Macullums knock was a thing of beauty today, as was Davidsons. The short boundries mean the scores are really racking up, so it should be an exciting super 8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mongrel Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Absolutely sick that someone gets killed over a game of cricket. Greg Chappell must be shitting bricks, though, Pakistan may be a little worse than India, even counting the stoning of Dhoni's house.

Plubby Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 someone was saying, and i dont remember who something along the lines of "India gets all the press as being a cricket-mad nation, but it's NOTHING compared to Pakistan" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Future Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 They have questioned all the players and fingerprinted them I think it was an organized crime hit personally. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisSteeleAteMyHamster Posted March 23, 2007 Report Share Posted March 23, 2007 Apparantly if the World Cup had been called off then all bets would have been voided. This would suggest a betting syndicate trying to get a double whammy of revenge for the Pakistan thrashing and desperately trying to get millions of pounds back.

gunnar hendershow Posted March 24, 2007 Report Share Posted March 24, 2007 I definitely feel the murder was some syndicate, as CSAMH stated. That was part of the reason I did not want the Cup to be ended. It could tie all back into match-fixing somewhere along the line though.

Dan Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 (edited) So England are about to lose the first test against New Zealand which sucks, because after last night I thought we could win it, Sidebottom was bowling well and the fielders where catching amazingly. Ah well, my prediction is a series draw at 1-1. Edit: Down to 68-8, horrible stuff Edited March 9, 2008 by RingysTaintLickerDan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slogger Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I stopped watching after How got out, I was thinking it was going to be a draw, What happened? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
