Coach Woolmer


Who would have thought that the latest casualty of Pakistan cricket would be the very likable coach, Bob Woolmer. Most Pakistanis like myself might have stopped checking the news after our shock loss to Ireland, expecting nothing but criticism regarding the team's performance. However, what was not expected and never really is, was our coach passing away.

These past few years have been some of the lowest in the Pakistani cricket team's history, and this latest loss might be the lowest yet. All Pakistanis know that Coach Woolmer tried his best with a team that had no shortage of insatiable egos and poor work ethic and we wish we could have told him how much we appreciated his work.

Our prayers are with his family.
