Cricket Australia Pays Tribute to Bob Woolmer

Cricket Australia Chief Executive Officer James Sutherland said Australian cricket was saddened to learn today of the sudden death of Pakistan coach and former England Test player Bob Woolmer during the ICC World Cup in the West Indies.

“Australian fans will best remember him for the runs he made against us in Ashes cricket but we also remember him as a pioneering coach, as an international man of cricket though his work for England, South Africa and Pakistan, and as one of cricket’s gentlemen,” Mr Sutherland said.

“Our condolences go to his family and loved ones at this sad time”.
