Scotland Yard’s Spies with US Pathologist investigate the Bob Murder case. Now they are questioning Pak criket team. Broken Bone of Bob’s neck? Killer pressed Bob’s neck. Bob’s wife suspects murder of Bob but why she and her two sons are hesitating uptill now in reaching jamica?

U.S. pathologist will probe Pakistan coach's death
Deputy Police Commissioner Mark Shields said Thursday the American pathologist, whom he did not name, would be arriving to help Jamaican police investigate the high-profile death. Police have called Woolmer's death "suspicious," but have stopped short of saying it was being investigated as a homicide.

Woolmer had an Indian Identity
Amid the palm trees of the West Indies, there was only one question being asked: Was Woolmer, a familiar figure in the green and yellow uniform, murdered? His father, a businessman, was a leading amateur player and the hospital where he was born in Kanpur, India, stood opposite the town's cricket ground.

Now Death of another Bob in World Cricket Cup
As happened on March 21: Former Irish Cricket Union president Bob Kerr died of a suspected heart attack at the World Cup. Irish assistant coach Matt Dwyer said on Wednesday that Kerr died during the night "from what we believe was a heart attack." "He was with his wife on holidays and spent time with the fans," Dwyer said. "We last spoke to him after the Pakistan match and he was in good spirits. He wasn't in ill-health." Dwyer said Kerr's wife called hotel staff in the middle of the night and he died on the way to the hospital. Kerr was an executive board member of the Irish Cricket Union and chairman of the North West Cricket Union. Kerr was in his mid-60s, Dwyer said.
Babloo shows Dawood’s hands
Giving a new turn to Bob Woolmer's death under mysterious circumstances, underworld don Babloo Srivastava has said that D-company head Dawood Ibrahim might have been involved in the suspected murder of Pakistan cricket coach, Sahara Samay sources said.Talking to Sahara Samay, he said that Dawood is the biggest fixer of international matches. He further said that Dawood might have put on stake huge sum of money ranging between Rs 400 to 500 crore.

Was Woolmer wanted for murder?
World cup is going on in the West Indies which was involved in match fixing as disclosed by the Mumbai police few days back. Pakistani Cricket team has come in the news for its involvement in the match fixing. Pakistan and Dubai are the heaven of underworld.

Giving poison in the food and cold blooded murders in the hotels and under world involvement in the murders of every good bad including Bollywood, builders, businessmen and others is the repetition of old story. Cricket player or match fixer may wish to kill but they themselves can’t do this. So possibility might be that murder was executed by an aide of the don with the help of a servant in the hotel or any cricket player.

It is right that cricket is a game of uncertainties. Winning games are lost on the signal of a match fixer in the hands of another best team. But this is the first chance in the history of the World Cricket Cup tournaments that Pakistan and India were defeated by the weakest teams Ireland and Bangladesh respectively. These defeats might be artificial or the effects of co-incident.

In third empire’s judgment Indian cricket team could take breadth. But no body wants to give the benefit of doubt to the Pakistani cricket team.

Was Pak match-fixing mafia behind Bob's death?
The sport's ruling body, the International Cricket Council (ICC), which set up a specialist anti-corruption unit it the wake of the match-fixing scandals, is dumb up till now on the death of Woolmer.

Former Pakistani pace man Sarfraz Nawaz said: “He had little doubt that the ‘death’ of Woolmer has been a conspiracy hatched by the underbelly of cricket and the ICC-held events are havens for match-fixers. ICC is actively promoting it,"

Sarfraz openly claimed that captain Inzamam-ul-Haq, along with Rana Naved-ul-Hasan, Mushtaq Ahmed, Mohammad Yousuf and Shoaib Malik were involved in betting. Sarfraz said, so powerful were the bookmakers that they were actually helping appoint coaches, managers, selectors and even board officials in different countries.

Is Sarfraz Nawaz ‘Sarfira (wong)’
The suggestion would be immediately dismissed as outlandish were it not for the succession of match-fixing scandals over the past decade, in which leading players have been offered large bribes by shadowy bookmakers on the cricket circuit.

In 2001, Lord Condon, the former commissioner of the Metropolitan Police, concluded in a report that corruption was endemic within a small but significant number of players in the game and referred to claims of criminal activity, including kidnap and murder, among powerful bookmakers.
A year earlier, the South African captain, Hansie Cronje confessed to his involvement in the largest match-fixing scandal in the sports history.
He admitted taking bribes of up to £150,000 ($416,000) a time to throw games from a man introduced to him by the Indian captain, Mohammed Azharuddin.

Both men were subsequently banned from the sport for life.
Woolmer was South Africa's cricket coach at the time and a close friend of Cronje, although there is no suggestion he knew anything about the bribes.
It emerged yesterday that Woolmer was working on an updated autobiography shortly before his death in which he wanted to give a "warts and all" account of his time in Pakistan, where he spent up to five months a year, as well as previous scandals in cricket.

Cricketer-Bookie nexus
A former Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) official on conditions of anonymity has made a disclosure that the deceased coach Bob Woolmer’s forthcoming book, “Discovering Cricket” may have exposed the cricketer-bookie nexus in Pakistan, India, and South Africa.
The Bodyline series, South Africa's refusal to allow Basil D'Oliviera, a non-white, to be part of the touring England team, the Packer crisis, and the match-fixing scandal have at various times rocked the foundations of cricket, but an allegation of murder is a first.
The shadow of betting haunted Woolmer during his career as coach, first in South Africa when Hansie Cronje confessed to match-fixing, and now in Pakistan.

Andres Escobar, a member of the Colombian national team, was shot dead after scoring a self goal in a World Cup match.

Unholy nexus of dons and bookies
There is speculation in the Pakistani media and generally in the subcontinent that Woolmer might have possessed some revealing facts about match fixing and betting surrounding Pakistani cricket.

If that was the case, could the Pakistani defeat have angered the bookies and the underworld? And could Woolmer's death be linked to this in any way?

The bookie-underworld nexus is a known fact and this is something the police has had to keep an eye on on a routine basis.
Bookies find it hard to work without the blessings of the underworld dons who are key players in the betting game.

Says Mumbai Crime Branch's DCP, Detection, Dhananjay Kamlakar, "Almost all the big bookies are supposed to have links with the underworld."

Additional CP, Deependra Pathak says, "Any kind of connection, profane, criminal cannot be ruled out. Certainly anti-social elements are involved."
While the police may not officially confirm it, it's evident that bookies who take and place bets on behalf of the underworld and openly enjoy underworld patronage, or else, how would you explain transactions worth crores of rupees through Hawala across the border. Speculation is rife that in this World Cup too that bookies will go to any extent to make

Woolmer quotes on Pakistan and his coming books
In the final posting on his website, late Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer said that he was "disappointed" over reports in Pakistani media that tried to "disrupt team spirit" during the World Cup. "We are also very disappointed by the articles trying to disrupt team spirit appearing in our press in Pakistan, and would ask those who read this to ignore the drivel!" wrote Woolmer in his final 'Diary' item on Friday.

In an interview last year, Woolmer said: "[Pakistanis] have a very critical culture and some of the criticism the players get is too harsh. The country has grown a critical culture but they should grow out of it."

Sarfraz said that Woolmer was about to spill the beans on this syndicate in a forthcoming book. Did the books become the reason of murder?

Madness in March is taking place in cricket
Cricket consists mainly of England and its former territories such as Pak, India and West Indies, and it becomes the question of life and death many times. This also happens in other games such as football. Cricket is taken so seriously in Pakistan those members of the Pakistan Cricket Board report directly to the country's president. India is also not behind for this. Her in India politician fights each other to lead the Cricket board. Buddhdeb Bhaattacharya and CPI (M) party interfered in the past. Rajiv Shukla of Congress and Pawar of NCP are giving their services to the cricket.

The English invented the sport, but they are having problems of their own. Members of the team went on a bender after losing to New Zealand and were partying so much that one of their star players had to be rescued from the sea during the early morning hours.

Games of Gentles becom the bloody game
In1972 Munich Olympics when 11 members of the Israeli contingent were gunned down in the Games village.
That massacre was fallout of the Israel-Palestine conflict. Passions have always run high in football. Countries have gone to war over the game.

Changing loyalty in the matches
These games are reached in such a stage where people change their loyalties also.
Few persons mistakenly give more preference to religion of the player instead of his nationality. Such as in some events in the past few Muslim fellows began to jump to see the victory of Pakistani team. Like that Communists would jump to see the victory of China. This is very dangerous tendency if we are hesitating to call it anti-India behavior. I am a live witness when majority comrades were working for China at the time of India-China war. This tendency is now in the Congress for Italy because their present President is an Italian origin and future President is Italy born. In the past there was a World football cup competition. At that time Congressmen in Patana worshiped football for the victory of Italian football team to keep it in the temple in the front of the photo of Sonia Gandhi. They are silent for Quattrocchi because he is the family member of their Italian origin leader.
