So do the Pakistanis play Zimbabwe, without a coach?
Or do they have an acting coach or someone?

This is a case of conspiracy. Some body definitely poisoned him (ofcourse a pakistani fan). This is going to be a BIG issue and now nobody will be willing to be its coach. It will have severe consequences all round. Lets hope for the best. NOW INDIA`S PERFORMANCE WILL MULTIPLY. ITS GAURANTEED.

Truly..Its really really sad....big loss to cricket..however there are lots of things happening this world cup..dont know why ,but I have a strong feeling that something is terribly wrong with all this..may b he committed suicide after watching the Pak show...or who knows,,,he might have been murdered..if u closely read the quotes,its clear that something was wrong B/N PCB and the Coach...anyways I hope his soul rests in peace..and now Pak must get a convincing win in next match to pay tribute..

There is no way he could have committed a suicide. The guy was always very calm and collected in his approach but there definitely seems some kind of conspiracy in here. In any case if anyone should have committed suicide it should have been Inzi...not Woolmer.

well i hope they play well atleast qualify for the second round...
then maybe if they loose it wouldnt matter much... than the shame that they were kicked out like pakistan...

As the Pakistan Coach has died (maybe Drug-Alcohol Overdose) Conspiracy theories are

(1). Indian RAW has poisoned his food thereby killing him.:rolleyes:
(2). Taliban Has killed him b'coz he is responsible for corrupting the minds of staunch "followers". :rolleyes:
(3). Pakistani Opposition has a hand in it to discredit "the able and powerful leadership " of Gen.Musharraf. :rolleyes:
(4).Some Pakistani Car driver-waiter-bellboy-steward etc. did it :rolleyes:

the pakistani paper says "alleged player-bookie nexus in Pakistan" might be cause of "murder" of Woolmer. Also there was blood on his cheek and eyes. This issue might extreme repercussions for Pak Cricketers and also Pakistan Itself. Also Pak Cricketers are not allowed to leave Windies after their match against Zim.

Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer was murdered..

Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer, found dead a day after Pakistan’s shock defeat at the hands of Ireland, was murdered, police have confirmed. Although the Pakistan Cricket Board has been claiming that the autopsy conducted on Woolmer was inconclusive, sources, according to Times Now, have confirmed that investigators have indeed said the coach was murdered.

In a fresh twist to the Bob Woolmer case, Radio Jamaica reported on Wednesday that the former Pakistan coach was strangulated. It said strangulation marks were found on Woolmer's neck.

The Jamaican police had earliesr said Woolmer's death was being treated as suspicious and further investigations weree being carried out.

The post mortem on Woolmer's body had added to speculations on the matter, especially after the investigating agencies had termed the preliminary reports as inconclusive.

Deputy Commissioner of the Jamaica Police had said, "Having met with pathologists and other medical personnel and investigators, we have sufficient evidence to prove that further investigation is required into the death which we are now treating as suspicious."

Asked if the police were saying Woolmer was murdered, Shields said, "I am not saying that."

Woolmer had been found unconscious in his Kingston hotel room on Sunday - less than 24 hours after Pakistan had been eliminated from the World Cup by minnows Ireland.

Ever since Woolmer's death, a large number of theories have been doing the rounds about what could have caused it - suicide, stress, drug overdose or poisoning.

The Jamaican police authorities and the ICC are scheduled to address the press on Thursday, and that will hopefully provide further clarity on the issue.

Only Ganguly batted and he too took 100+ balls to make 70 runs and threw his wicket away in 40th over.

When certain poisons enter our body, the body's natural tendency is to throw out the foreign body which it cannot accept. The immediate method is vomit. I've seen and read poisoning cases. Very sad state :(
