Hmm breaking news on TMS, they say Bob Woolmer has been found unconscious in his room.

Are you being serious?

 

[steds]

Just on sky, too.

 

[PhoenixFire]

Are you being serious?

Why would he joke. Look at the thread I made and there is a link.

Are you being serious?

Yes, there's a thread on it now so will take take it there when there's a full story, PCB supposed to be making a press statement shortly.

He has died. The news just came across the radio and its also on Cricinfo. Very very very sad day for cricket. http://content-wi.cricinfo.com/wc2007/content/current/story/285940.html

 

[Goughy]

You can hardly blame him for a bit of self harm... (if that is what it was)

His name was on that Pak performance!

Christ thats harsh

Christ thats harsh

Was about half an hour before the news of the death so it looks much worse than it is, should be deleted as well itbt.

Bloody hell, the guy is dead! Show a bit of a respect - goodness me

 

[simmy]

Sorry but I didnt know he had died when I posted it!!

Got a feeling Gayle might kick the **** out of Zimbabwe tonight. Could be good viewing.

Kasteni and Ireland in for Rainsford and Brent- not sure what to make of that, since Rainsford is the quickest and Brent the most experienced bowler.

I am glad Kasteni is playing because some time ago I picked him as one to watch- http://www.cricketweb.net/forum/showpost.php?p=595965&postcount=17

However I doubt he is ready yet, but obviously he's just the latest kid to be thrown to the lions.

And for some reason he opened and he's out first ball- well done Zim selectors, you've just scarred a young batsman for life. Again.

I keep hearing that Ireland are already through? My calculations are that both Zim and WI could finish above them, am i wrong?

I think you are right - I'm just assuming that lightning will not strike twice in the same place.

No you're not wrong. Ireland could well miss out, but it's fairly unlikely.

 

[Goughy]

103-4 ATM.

Someone needs a big score for Zim. If they can post 230-250 it will be an interesting game.

 

[pasag]

Very good effort from Zimbabwe here, 5/202 in with a chance. Very nice innings from Williams as well.

 

[PY]

Not bad finish from the Zimbabs. Still don't expect an upset but fair effort.

 

[Chubb]

Good knock Sean Williams- classy effort. It won't be enough but at least it's not disgrace.

 

[PY]

Good man.

Incidentally, anyone who ever gets the opportunity to visit Dublin should drop in at the Porterhouse - the best beers in Ireland by far.

I'm in Ireland in 2 weeks Eddie, flying into Dublin then going to Kilkenny then back to Dublin. 3 days to survey Ireland.

Where would you recommend that isn't a watering hole? The ladies with us probably wouldn't appreciate being in a smoky pub for a whole day.
