    If something happened here, then this is a truly sad day. Woolmer was a great coach, and to think he could have been done in because of his teams useless performances is very sad.

    Makes you think about Andres Escobar, since in a way cricket is to Pakistan what soccer is to Columbia.

    I'm beginning to think some serious voodoo is at work in Kingston...

    Strangled, to be specific. RIP.

    The tournament will continue...

    Amid speculation that knowledge of match-fixing may have had something to do with the apparent murder.

    I can't believe they're continuing the tournament.

    Having said that, however, I wonder what would happen if something like that happened in the US. Would the TV networks force the league to keep playing because of the money invested?

    A cricket murder? Ho-hum.

    A cricket murder in Jamaica? Greta Van Football_Bat would be there in a nanosecond.

    Now, the Jamaican police are saying the coach died of natural causes, and not from being strangled.

    Because those two means of dying are so similar ::)
