The cricket fans in Pakistan are mourning the death of coach Bob Woolmer.
Inzamam announced his retirement from limited overs games Sunday, hours after Woolmer died in Jamaica.
One day after Ireland's team won one of the biggest upsets in World Cup history, (by eliminating Pakistan with a three wicket victory), he committed suicide.
What will this tell fans that watch the game, especially the children who love to watch and play cricket?
Even in professional sports a game is just a game. There will always be winners and losers.
I am very upset about his decision and I only watch the game when my grandson or England and India plays cricket. To me after Lacrosse this is the most difficult game to play.
I hear that the Cricket board chairman Naseem Ashraf has called a meeting of the ad-hoc committee for March 31th to pick a new manager. Why didn't he know that Bob Woolmer was depressed long before the last game when he offered to quit?
How will that help Bob Woolmer's family and friends?
Pakistan is an Islamic country and that will make this act have a lot of social, legal, and religious problems for his family.
Please join me in praying for the soul of Bob Woolmer and please let his family know we are sorry for their loss.
