So the ICC World Cup is finally on. And it's full of surprises. Ireland upsetting Pakistan & Bangladesh crucifying India are perhaps a taste of things to come. It tells us that probably the burden of expectations can be too much to take. May be complecancy doesn't take long to creep in.
India were dismal against Bangladesh. They showed absolutely no stomach for a fight, which was most depressing for a true fan. When results are poor, it is the appetite that followers want to see.
Then Pakistan lost to Ireland. It was a horrendous performance by the giants against the minnows. And it was too much to take for Bob Woolmer. Nobody knows for certain if he capcised to a heart attack or a stroke or something else. This lack of transperancy is generating truckloads of rumours. Some say he was murdered by a fanatic. Some say he was shut up before he could blow the whistle on a major match-fixing scam. Whatever it is, the plot thickens & the waters get merkier day by day. High time the officials of the ICC & PCB get together to clarify
