...Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer has died in a Jamaican hospital. He was found a few hours ago unconscious in hotel room, surrounded in vomit, just a day after Ireland's shock win over Pakistan in cricket's World Cup. Jubilation for us Irish after arguably the biggest shock in cricket history, but humiliation for Pakistan and for Woolmer. However he died - drink, overdose, suicide or, God help us, poisoning, yesterday's result must have been a prime factor.

This puts sport into perspective. May God have mercy on his soul.
