Cricket world shocked by Woolmer's death

Just a day after Pakistan were shockingly thrown out of the World cup, their coach Bob Woolmer passed away. The exact reasons for his death are not known at this point but given the timing, speculation is that it was related to the pressure of his high-profile coaching job. Its truly an extremely sad day in cricketing circles.

I hope at least now fans around the world start to appreciate the amount of stress and pressure people go through just to perform at this stage. A nice article on this topic by Dileep Ramachandran can be found here
