Jamaican police have launched a murder inquiry into the death of Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer at the World Cup, saying he was strangled.
Police said the death on Sunday was "due to asphyxiation by manual strangulation".
"Hopefully we will bring the killers to justice as soon as possible," deputy commissioner Mark Shields told a news conference.

your too quick for me i was just about to post that

[perthstormer]

sad day these are what is the world comming too

[Tigger]

I noticed in the paper the other day one of the south african guys (I think) was saying if Wolmer had been murdered then they should call the whole world cup off given that the motto or whatever is about getting together for friendship & fun (well that's not exactly right but off the top of my head  )

Well lucky I guessed what you were talking about............you really need to establish exactly what you're talking about when you post a statement like that halfway thru a thread.

an arrest has been made in the murder case, the suspect isn't a Jamaican national.

[Tigger]

That report's been deemed false tho

[lotti]

really, it's just been on Sky News, they got it from a Pakistani tv station.

[Tigger]

Reports that an arrest has been made in relation to the murder of cricket coach Bob Woolmer are nonsense, says the police officer leading the investigation.
Jamaica's deputy police commissioner, Mark Shields, says news of an arrest reported on Indian television is completely false.
Pakistani and Indian television had reported an arrest in relation to the murder of Bob Woolmer at cricket's World Cup in Jamaica.

Who is cheering for Kenya in tonight's game against England, I know I will be.

Thanks to Sri Lanka beating India today Bangladesh look likely to make the next phase of the World Cup provided they beat Bermuda tomorrow night.

So far the teams progressing to the Super 8's are:

Group A (order to be determined following tonight's game):

South Africa
Australia

Group B:

Sri Lanka

Group C:

New Zealand

Group D:

West Indies
Ireland
