THEY ASKED FOR HIS DEATH
every time the Pakis lost,
And finally they got it!
Now they say they are saddened
They say that he was the only person
serious about Paki cricket
They say they miss him now
They say he was one of the best
They say they are sorry
They say they regret it
They say he was not to blame for the loss
So why did they keep burning his effigy?
Why did they keep organizing his mock burials?
I say Shame on them
Now they can really bury him
RIP Bob Woolmer
Pakis will finally stop troubling you

I am still kind of shocked. I can’t still believe it. Bob Woolmer is dead. The final half of the Cronje-Woolmer legend gone. The greatness and the tragedy that followed the captain and the team follows Woolmer too.
When I heard it last night I couldn’t understand it. After Australia finished off the Dutch, I was still watching Extra Innings to get some of the highlights that I might have missed when I had dozed off or was not in front of the tele. Well I wanted to watch Mandira Bedi’s extras too… her extra yakatiyakatiyaks….. but was greeted by a very silent studio. When Charu Sharma said that the second devastating news had happened in the cricket world (someone else had died some time ago, I don’t remember who), I was pretty sure someone had probably died and was trying to brace myself who it would be…. Well the second thing that crossed my mind was “Oh no Shane Warne has done something bad again? Or has Andrew Flintoff announced his retirement or something like that.” But the but was worse than that. I prepared to hear it.
Charu said Pakistani coach Bob Woolmer is no more. I did not understand. Huh. What did he just say. It sounded like something about Bob Woolmer. Ah he must have said Bob Woolmer quite. I just couldn’t process that the quiting he did was from his life. And then he told of how Bob Woolmer was found unconscious in his room on the 12th floor of Pegasus Hotel in Jamaica. Still, my mind wasn’t processing. I kept hearing ‘and was taken to a hospital and is still unconscious” or something like that which meant he would do fine after a stretch of ‘recovery.’ But there was not going to be any recovery for the legendary coach.
‘He was taken to the nearby University hospital but never regained consciousness’ was what Charu was implying. Then it slowly hit me. And finally I had to accept it. But still I am in shock.
TO BE FINISAHED SHORTLY
