On TMS just now Jonathan Agnew has announced Woolmer's death - a sad end to someone who was a great coach to go out at such a low point.

Puts the fuss about Flintoff's Pedalogate into perspective.

Wow what terrible news, he was a great coach and a sad loss to the entire cricket world.

The timing is even worse and for him to go out in these circumstances is even worse. My thoughts are with his family.

As a youngster remember watching him play for England at Old Trafford in test matches, he was a true Professional and to me an inspiration, he worked so hard on his game to become a great player, sadly missed.

Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer has been found dead in his Jamaican hotel room at the cricket world cup.

He was tipped to be England's next head coach.

I was wondering this the other day actually, but didn't feel it was right to say anything.
