[hereintheUK]

<p>I don't even know how to put this in perspective and for most on here it won't mean a thing. However I have just witnessed a miracle.</p><p>Ireland have just beaten Pakistan at the Cricket World cup. This may have been the greatest victory in the History of cricket.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ok so heres an update:- The next day Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer was found dead in his hotel room. Tonight Police in Jamaica have said it was murder. </p><p>Here's my two penneth. </p><p><font face="verdana, arial, helvetica" size="1">The whole thing stinks of corruption, Ireland beat Pakistan in the cricket world cup. This is one of the most incredible results in the history of the game of Cricket. The next day the Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer is dead. <br /> <br /> Cricket has a history of betting scandals and also has a history of burying it's collective head in the sand. One recent match fixing scandal involved South African Captain Hansie Cronje receiving gifts and money from bookmakers to fix the results of games. Hansie admitted this and met his untimely death in a suspicious plane crash 2 years later in 2002</font><font size="1"> </font></p><p>&nbsp;<span class="post_edited"></span></p>

<p>The Pakistani dude in the liquor store where I was buying booze for tonight mentioned this to me, and I just smiled and nodded because I wans't sure what the hell he was talking about.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On further review, this is a pretty big deal.</p><p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>It was Murder!</p><p>Just watching a press conference from Jamaica. The police are treating this as murder. His death was due to asphyxiation caused by manual strangulation.&nbsp; </p>

It's about time coaches had to pay a price.&nbsp; For years they'd get fired and move to another high paying job.&nbsp; Now blow the big game, have your neck wrung.
