 Former South African test player Clive Rice, a longtime friend of Pakistan’s dead cricket coach Bob Woolmer, has said that the late coach probably accused some of Pakistan’s players of being involved with gambling after the team’s World Cup loss to Ireland, and word of his suspicions must have got back to the bookies. According to a report in Washington Post on Saturday, Rice said, “Before it could get out, the bookmakers went and sorted him out.” However, Rice offered no evidence for his suspicions. There have been unconfirmed reports of a fight on the team bus after the match, and that a bookmaker visited Woolmer in the hours before his death. |
