Hmmm.

Is this really a surprise?

Yes. Why? Perhaps you know something I don't know.

Just consider the circumstances.

Woolmer was going to retire after the CWC anyway, and now Inzi has pulled the pin after leading the team to the bottom of the scrap heap.

The players got away with using drugs for so long, and now that two in particular got caught, you'll find there's more to it than is being released.

Let's just see how long after they return home that nasty things happen to the rest of the team.

Someone was recently quoted as saying 'The Pakistani cricket team killed Bob Woolmer..'. Seems to be more truth to that statement than first thought.

Inside job then you reckon Dale?

If true, it would have to be someone close to the team to be able to get ready access to the coach.

It's not as if security would allow just anyone ready access to the team whilst in their hotel.

The plot thickens. I guess we'll have to wait and see.

Then again, we may never know the real truth.

Dale61 · Posted: Wed Mar 21, 2007 2:57 pm

Yes, but can we handle the truth?

Here's another report basically reporting the same thing.

The butler with the poison in the food?

I am not really surprised they think it's murder, it did seem a bit strange he would be found dead like that and the way he was found is also a thing to ponder.

I believe it was Colonel Mustard, in the dining room, with a candlestick.

My first thought when I heard he was dead was foul play but then again I have been watching too much TV Razz
