A murder that was planned and presented to the world as a tragedy

A murder that was planned and presented to the world as a tragedy.

(World Cup Cricket 2007)

When the news of the unexpected death of the Coach of Pakistan Cricket team. Wolmer came to my ears, I felt deaf. I knew for sure something is grossly wrong. A fighter always dies a heroic death or that age takes over him, but never suicides. Neither a fighter can get so engrossed in remorse that his body cannot take the toll of pressure. The body which has been fighting for last 60 years since grounded, cannot be so fragile that a pressure of a loss can lead to such a tragedy. All the news seemed echoing to my ears, and each news made me more agreeable to disagree that it was a normal death.

What went wrong? My thoughts started traversing back to the same time and same place. Putting myself in Jamaica, and same situation, I could here deep voices and soft whispers of people. All were discussion some thing or other related to the loss of the match. The game which could have been easily won, how can a team like Pakistan loose? It cannot be a chance of cricket. Who are the people who really lead this match to loose? Was it that this match itself was fixed? There are few people around here who knows the truth. And the truth is dangerous. If this truth is known then the entire nexus will be in net and the whole planning will see the dust.

Someone whispering on the cell phone that time has come when some hard evidence has to be removed. And it should be removed now. This is the time to take action. May be a snake bite or a snake poison should be introduced into the vibrating artilleries of the fighter. No one will guess now. Take the action.

Who was on the other end of the phone? Well it was a long distance call and somehow went un-recorded. Information traveled in an encrypted fashion and Jamaica police may never trace it again.

Whatever happens with the investigation is to be seen in near future, but that the death of the fighter may be because, he knew the truth and maybe he was on verge of disclosing them. Disclosing them for the betterment of the game like cricket, which should remain as a sports and entertainment and not as a bidding ground for making money?
