With the tragic death of Bob Woolmer in West Indies crime has entered the game of cricket.Some would say it was time that it would come.I tend to agree with that view.With the amount of money that is involved today in cricket it was bound to happen.The hype sorrounding the game today is unbelievable.So why cricket and not other sports.In individual sports if a match fixing happens then it is easy to catch the culprit.This has happened a few times in tennis.But the focus thereafter has been so much on the players involved that it is not wise for the players to try match fixing.In cricket since there are 11 players involved fix a few key players then it is through.Right from the Hansie cronje saga the cloud of Match fixing has been swirling all over the game and it is tragic that it has resulted in the death of Bob Woolmer.
Tragic day for the lovers of the sport.It no longer remains just a sport.
