So the World Cup that I was so excited about has been marred by the death of the Pakistan cricket coach, Bob Woolmer. He was found unconscious on his hotel room floor the day after Ireland's outstanding defeat of Pakistan. I always loved old Bob, he was one of South Africa's more successful former coaches and he was well-loved and respected by the SA team.
Sadly enough, it now appears he was murdered... I thought it was a bit dodgy him dying so suddenly after that shock defeat! There were a LOT of upset fans out there, and a lot of death threats aimed at both him and some of the Pakistani players! This is terrible... even though the show goes on, this has obviously put a huge damper on the event! And whatever team wins the Cup will have to deal with the knowledge that this World Cup will be remembered more for the murder rather than the winning team!
In related news, South Africa face their nemesis in a group match tomorrow to see which team will enter the quarter finals undefeated and at the top of their group. It's the grudge match of the tournament! I hope my boys kick some Aussie ASS!
