    Get over the Internet Chetan and Watch the television!

    He was found unconscious in a pool of vomit in his hotel room, he was then rushed to the hospital and then pronounced dead. Para-medics are guessing from the vomit that it could be a possible case of heart failure.

    For those who don't know, he was the current cricket coach of Pakistan, also the former cricket coach of South Africa and a former test cricket player for
    England!

    Rest in Peace!

    Amen.

    It's on CNN as well at the moment and they are quoting his statement today "I have seen many bad days in my life but this has to be the worst".

    This is shocking. The Ireland loss was a huge affect on his health.


    Rest In Peace Bob..

    He was a very dignified, soft-spoken, and optimistic professional and I will always miss him. I met him once in Qaddafi stadium Lahore and now I am getting flashbacks.

    Blood has been found on his bed according to the police so there are lots of suspicions right now. Local police will be doing a press conference in about 30 minutes from now so lets see.

    I am quite shocked at this. He was probably one of the finest coaches ever in cricket :) Yes, he had stuff like the Cronje earphone incident, but his ability to bring the best out of a side can never be questioned.

    May his soul rest in peace :( :(
