Controversies galore

Cricket and controversies go hand in hand, atleast in the Indian sub-continent (as defined in yesteryears). One coach dies, charges of murder float around, conspiracy theories float around AND everything ends in a whimper? Why the big drama, why all those allegations, resignations and why this dumbness now? Bob Woolmer was not murdered, really? Even if that were true, I really don't want to believe it after all those forensic reports, video recordings, interrogations -- Whatz the scoop !!!!!!

Bangladesh does well, upsets a couple of big teams, reaches quarter-finals AND then loses it's coach Whatmore :)...If I were him, I would stay with the team and get them to win the cup! Whatmore saw BLUE, but only got the blues when India decided to "ignore" him for the big coach position and decided to interview Graham Ford and Micheal Emburey..They offered the job to Ford who politely declined it saying that he preferred coaching Kent to India (what a shame!) and Micheal Emburey didn't want the post either...people should really hate team India...wonder when we will understand on how a sport should be played at an international level. Team decides who it wants the coach to be and BCCI does some futile chases...I wish I could decide who my manager should be :P..

Btw, Whatmore was not called for political reasons apparently...Sharad Pawar has his eyes set on the ICC chariman post and he needs support from 6 of the 11 test playing nations. Asking for Ford, a South-African to coach the Indian team could possibly get that country's approval and Sharad Pawar, his seat...Well, Ford stumped them (pun intended) by refusing it making it a (x+iy) equation for team India to solve...Wonder what our next move is going to be...whatever it is, I think people really have lost interest/ are losing interest in the game.
