Words can't express the total feeling of shock reading this report.

I have always been a fan of cricket - I know it gets a bad press in America, but there is more strategy than most people realise.

The last time cricket was hit by such scandal on this scale was when Hansie Cronje admitted to match fixing in 2000, and his subsequent death in 2002. For a respected cricket coach to be murdered like this - is just... well I can't think of the words. I am so stunned.

Cricket is embedded in the conciousness of so many nations - West Indies, Pakistan, India, Australia... it outsells any other sport there. Supporters are passionate - too passionate at times. But this - this just goes beyond anything that has ever happened before in cricket.
