LAHORE: Former Pakistan captain Imran Khan has said that Bob Woolmer died just because of the team’s loss against Ireland.

“Whatever the general public in Pakistan says, the fact is that Bob was not responsible for Pakistan’s defeat or any other loss that the team has faced because the coach’s job is simply to teach and instruct. The performance of the Pakistan  team is a sheer responsibility of the captain and no one but Inzamam is responsible for the exit of the team from the world Cup. And the poor performance of the Pakistani team is the only cause of Woolmer’s cardiac arrest.”

Expressing his deep regrets, former cricket captain Asif Iqbal has said that Woolmer was a coach with a conscience and this great aspect of his character became the reason for his death.

“Bob had been under intense criticism ever since he had been appointed as the national coach, especially by the former coaches of the team. But the loss to Ireland was too extreme a shock for him to recover from.”

According to former opener Saeed Anwar, Woolmer was a very sensitive person and his team’s loss was a cause for his death.

“It is very sad that everyone found his unconscious body in the hotel room when it was too late.”

On Sunday, a huge crowd had gathered in front of Pakistani captain Inzamamul Haque’s Multan residence and chanted slogans of "Death to Woolmer, Death to Inzamam".

They also carried placards displaying the same chant.

President General Musharraf and Prime Minister Shaukat Aziz also expressed grief over the death.
