Bob Woolmer’s murder and the death of a gentleman’s game Details of the murder of former England medium-fast bowler and Pakistani cricket coach Bob Woolmer, in his hotel room in Jamaica on 18th March, continue to appear in the international press. Since there are no reports at this stage of money or valuables missing from Woolmer’s possessions, the killer or killers seem unlikely to have come from Jamaica’s hyper-active criminal class. The speculation, therefore, is firmly centred on two possibilities:- 1) Woolmer was murdered because he was about to blow the lid on the insanely profitable phenomen of match-fixing in the game, possibly in a book he was working on. 2) Woolmer was murdered by a fanatical Pakistan supporter who did not take too kindly to the team, ranked third among playing nations, exiting the World Cup so early. Not many people think it is the second possibility. But if it is the first, it will have profound ramifications for the future of the international game. Until 1977, when the late Kerry Packer launched his circus with lucrative contracts to the cream of international talent, cricketers were the poorest of sporting professionals. The county player is still not rich. But international players earn several time average salary. The wealthiest of them are Indians, and on top of the heap is Sachin Tendulkar who clears 5 million US dollars a year, almost all from endorsements. This, though, pales into insignificance beside the billion dollars per game it is thought possible for bookies to make by illegal betting in India. While the rewards are so high it could not be expected that players’ hands would remain clean. When found, corruption has been vigorously prosecuted. But it has almost certainly been more widespread than the ICC wants to admit. Murder, however, changes everything. It is far beyond any illegalities of the past, and marks a deeply sinister turn for a once gentlemanly pastime. Is cricket ready to be taken down some South Asian moral sewer? At the end of this affair, the ICC will likely have to ban Pakistan from internationals for a period of years. It is not beyond the realms of possibility that India, where the nidus exists, will pay a heavy price too. The bookies, no doubt, will survive no matter what. Comments:2

Whatever exploitable fall-out there might be from the Woolmer murder is as nothing to the very obviously racist (anti-White) double standards that many previously racially-unaware Whites couldn’t help noticing last Big Brother - the brouhaha was the biggest bogus race story in YEARS and you dismissed it with ‘who cares?’ if I remember correctly. But hundreds of Big Brother viewers -teenage girls and hosewives mainly- correctly RECOGNISED and CONDEMNED racist double standards dircted against them in the BB forums - and they weren’t all sojourning SFers. You called it wrong. As you have this time. Bob Woolmer’s death should not be exploited for political gain. To attempt at this stage such a thing is not simply bad taste, it’s a political error. 3
Posted by Guessedworker on Sun, 25 Mar 2007 09:04 | # yllica, Outside of news, current affairs and sport I watch little television, and certainly no Big Brother. Even so, I know that Jade Goody is mixed-race and not a representative of me or mine in any way. So, yes, I don’t give a hoot what she says or does. The affair bore the hallmarks of commercial opportunism (C4), fame-building (Shetty) and hucksterism (the race lobby). It’s one lesson for us lay in the flawless obedience with which the idiocracy rushed to “vote Shilpa” - a point that, if I didn’t make at the time, I should have done, being a student of the suggestibility of Man. As regards the present post, I work on the assumption that if Bob Woolmer is found to have been murdered at the behest of a criminal element in the Sub-continent, that is not without interest to us. We have a category of Sport, and I take no pleasure in the cynicism with which that word now seems to apply to international cricket. 4

Posted by Matra on Sun, 25 Mar 2007 13:00 | # The sport is becoming too dominated by South Asian (particularly Indian) interests. Indeed it wouldn’t surprise me if this leads to a split between the mostly white countries and the subcons in the next few years. Then there’s the political mess in Zimbabwe which has led to it fielding an A Side of sorts (at best) and the South African racial quota system (they’re no longer my favourite team) which led to Kevin Pietersen having to move to England. Things aren’t looking good even without the English players acting like soccer louts or Bret Lee becoming a Bollywood star.
I’d be surprised if they get anything more than a slap in the wrist. Pakistan is the second most populous Test playing country so presumably a lot of revenue comes from there. Plus they can also play the race/religion card. They should’ve been banned after the Darrell Hair incident. (In 2001 Pakistan’s victory over England was helped by the umpires not calling “no balls” against Pakistani bowlers but you didn’t see England walk off or its fans going daft and invading the pitch.) Anyway, the mostly ethnically British Australian team have given the non-white countries a clinic on how to play the game over the past ten years. Despite a population of less than 20 million, which includes millions of non-British/Irish, the Aussies have been the best team in the world. I’ll take them or the Kiwis (pop. 4 million) to win the tournament over India (pop. 1 billion) or the hosts. Assuming, of course, the results are decided in play and not by South Asian betting syndicates. 6

Posted by Guessedworker on Sat, 14 Apr 2007 09:55 | # Are you referring to the One-Day International at Nagpur in India in March 2000? 8
Posted by Eumenides on Sat, 14 Apr 2007 21:48 | # Yes, besides other S. Africans who are strongly suspected but never convicted. The point is that illegal practices will occur more among those teams which feel they have a high stake in the game—REGARDLESS of race and ethnicity. It just so happens that cricket is more popular in South Asia than elsewhere. How come drug scandals are rampant among some Europeans and Americans in other sports, sports that are not at all “third-world-like”? No one ethnic group is above these messes—get over yourselves. 9
Posted by Guessedworker on Sat, 14 Apr 2007 22:15 | # OK, you are a race denier, and you are basing your denial of race on the denial of a specifically South Asian corruption in the international game of cricket. The basis of your denial is that corruption has occurred elsewhere, therefore there is nothing remarkable about South Asian corruption, therefore it does not exist. All men are corrupt, therefore there is no difference between South Asians or Englishmen. There is, though, the small matter that Cronje was corrupted - and corrupted other South Africans in turn - in South Asia, by South Asian money placed under his nose by South Asians. Have I captured the full stupidity of your position, or is there more that I haven’t quite got hold yet? 10
Posted by dickface on Sat, 14 Apr 2007 22:27 | # Guess you must be right guessed (spelling?) worker; all people of Western descent never, ever are involved in doping, or of cheating in any way whatsoever. Clearly this would be excellent proof of your white superiority. The immediate segregation of the races, and the subsequent elimination of all races other than white, in order to provide resources, including important continental land-masses for white expansion, is imperative. This cheating by lesser races is obviously another indication of inferiority. White race DOES NOT CHEAT AT SPORTS!!!!!! SIEG HEIL!!!!!! 11
Posted by dickface on Sat, 14 Apr 2007 22:33 | # How dare you suggest that “All men are corrupt, therefore there is no difference between South Asians or Englishmen.” You and your white supremacists have already proven that Englishmen are far different from South Asians. Perhaps England should nuke the Indian sub-continent, and eliminate these inferior, DNA polluters? Perhaps a neutron bomb is more appropriate, because this will leave the territory ripe for settlement by only the purest Aryan peoples. 12
Posted by Eumenides on Sat, 14 Apr 2007 22:36 | # Guessedworker—perhaps if South Africa had as large a cricket following and as big a betting scene, he would have been corrupted there as well. Have you not ever heard of “all other factors considered equal”, or were you so busy bashing races that you forgot to read up on logic and reasoning? And I like how you conveniently sidestepped the American/European drug question—oh of course, we can’t get into anything that exposes that first-worlders are not gods, can we? Have I captured the stupidity of YOUR argument yet? Or should I wait for you to respond with another logically flawed, name-calling post, in order to rest my case? 13

Posted by pigface on Sun, 15 Apr 2007 00:32 | # Boer/English influence could only be positive, and we KNOW this to be true, guestworker. The inferior must be destroyed by any means necessary. The lack of genetic material that they obviously display, through their athletic performance, and their variation from the Euro-Aryan norm, means they are inferior, and are MUD RACES, and must be destroyed through any available methods!!! Don’t you agree with me, my brothers? Guestworker, can’t you kill a mud person today, to help preserve tomorrow? Thank you for providing this forum for those of us who HATE, and believe in GENOCIDE. Thank you, thank you, thank you. 19
Posted by dickface on Sun, 15 Apr 2007 00:43 | # Thank you so much, Guest Worker, for providing me with this opportunity to explain my apparent ignorance and hatred. I do hope that this ignorance will take root in those who are vulnerable, and needy, and that they, too, will share in my viscious, genocidal, thoughts. There are many readers who are vulnerable, and thus, I feel confident they will fall to our side. Confidentially, I believe we can manipulate and control them. I don’t see this as a very difficult task. These malliable minds are very easy to control. Making them obey the ultimate objective of world domination and genocide—that will be difficult. Your plans will not be easily achieved. But hopefully the loyal (the pure-gene), they will strive for the Fourth Reich, just as you do. These are simple folk, and easily manipulated. They will murder for you Please keep this e-mail confidential. 20
Posted by Guessedworker on Sun, 15 Apr 2007 01:08 | # Hate appears to reside in your heart. But is it the self-hatred of a European or the simple hate of a non-European? 21
Posted by Lurker on Sun, 15 Apr 2007 03:21 | # pigface/dickface - really, who do you think you are fooling with this crap? I notice you mention genocide. How can you commit genocide when there are no such thing as races? 22
Posted by Hey Dickless! on Sun, 15 Apr 2007 04:19 | # What factors? Aryans don’t “debate” subhumans incapable of human reason and productive work. Fetch or steal your dinner elsewhere, Mr. No Dick. Might I suggest the Ganga? 23
Posted by Fellow Aryans on Sun, 15 Apr 2007 04:39 | # Fellow Aryans, “Perhaps a neutron bomb is more appropriate, because this will leave the territory ripe for settlement by only the purest Aryan peoples.” The subhuman creature “elevates” itself with the belief that we would inhabit the area it has occupied and corrupted. Shall we laugh with it or at it? 24
Posted by Guessedworker on Mon, 30 Apr 2007 20:04 | # A third potential motive for the murder of Bob Woolmer emerged in a report in the Daily Mail today. It is drawn from a BBC Panorama investigation:-
The police in Jamaica are not expected to issue a public statement before next week, at which point one would hope that some reason for Bob Woolmer’s murder, possibly Mr Mir’s, will be confirmed. Post a comment:

Cricket is rapidly becoming third-world-like. I pity the Western players having to play with these corrupt third-worlders. Read here about Darrell Hair
http://www.anonym.to/?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darryl_Hair the A,ustralian umpire forced out of the game because he was a “fundamentalist” when it came to the rules of cricket. Oh, and not surprisingly, he was also a “racist”.
Oh the joys of having to live and play with third-worlders, who have nothing but contempt for you. I remember a few years ago Ajuna Rantaunga, the Sri Lankan Cricket Captain made this comment about Australians, “We come from 2,500 years of culture and we all know where they come from”. Um, yep convicts…and in 200 years Australia is a first world country and Sri Lanka is..well need I say more.
Kick the third-worlders out of cricket. Let them kill each other some place else.
