  Robert Andrew Woolmer (14 May 1948 -- 18 March 2007) was an international cricketer, professional cricket coach and also a professional commentator. He played in 19 Test matches and 6 One-day Internationals for England and later coached South Africa, Warwickshire and Pakistan. Woolmer died in Jamaica while participating in the 2007 Cricket World Cup as the coach of Pakistan. On 22 March 2007, Jamaican police announced that his death was being treated as murder after the official post-mortem report stated that Woolmer died from asphyxia due to manual strangulation. Bob Woolmer was appointed as Pakistan Cricket Team coach in the year 2005. After his death, he has posthumously been awarded the Sitara-i-Imtiaz (Star of Excellence), a high ranking civilian award as a result of his contribution to cricket in Pakistan. Bob Woolmer played English county cricket for Kent, initially as an all-rounder. He graduated to Test cricket with England in 1975 again, at first, as an all-rounder, having taken a hat-trick for MCC against the touring Australian cricket team with his fast-medium bowling. But he was dropped after his first Test, only reappearing in the final match of the series at The Oval where he scored 149, batting at number five, then the slowest Test century for England against Australia. Further batting success followed over the next two seasons, including two further centuries against Australia in 1977. Woolmer was also a regular in England ODI cricket from 1972 to 1976 ...
