RIP Bob Woolmer
last year, mid-MarchUpdate: he was murdered
Tragedy has struck the 2007 World Cup with the death today of Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer. Woolmer was famous for his coaching roles but he was a doughty Test player in his own right, standing up to the powerful Australian bowling attacks of the 1970s. Cricinfo have put up an obituary.
Teenager killed by cricket ball
3 years ago, mid-July[via BBC]
A young cricketer has died after being hit by a ball in Greater Manchester.
Tim Melville, 19, was batting for Wallasey, from Wirral in Merseyside, in a Cheshire under-21s match at Hyde on Sunday when he was hit in the chest.
He collapsed and was given first aid before being taken to Tameside General Hospital, where he died.
A spokesman for Wallasey Cricket Club confirmed the incident took place, but declined to comment further as Mr Melville’s family are away on holiday.
A spokesman for Hyde Cricket Club said: “It is very sad to see such a thing happen to such a fine young man.”
