Sorry, but I usually don't pay attention to tabliods and their rumors. Anyway, the Asif/Shoaib comparison is for a different thread. All I can say is that if you think Asif is just as bad as Shoaib in terms of bad behavior, you are entitled to your opinion. I happen to strongly disagree.

Apparently there may be underworld connections.

Two Pakistani players have been ordered to remain in Jamaica, in connection with Bob's murder case. I wonder who those players can be??

How reliable is the Hindustan times?

I don't know, but the sub-continental media is generally very unreliable. Yesterday, the media manager for Pakistan, Talat Ali, responded to these reports and said no players had been asked to stay.

Statement from Bob Woolmer's co-author says that no match fixing details were to be revealed in his upcoming book:

No match-fixing revelations in Woolmer's book: co-author LONDON, March 24 (AFP) Ivo Tennant, the co-author of murdered Pakistan cricket coach Bob Woolmer's planned book insisted Saturday that it would not have contained any explosive revelations on match-fixing. Writing in The Times newspaper, Tennant swiped at rumours that Woolmer was about to blow the whistle on corruption in the sport. “Rumours that Bob Woolmer was murdered because he was harbouring information on match-fixing or an association with corrupt bookmakers can be dismissed unequivocally,” Tennant wrote.

Confirmed.

It can only be about something that Woolmer might have said to them or the fact they were first into the room when the body was found.

That's what the team spokesman seems to think as well:

MONTEGO BAY, Jamaica (Reuters) - Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq and assistant coach Mushtaq Ahmed were being questioned by Jamaican police on Saturday investigating the murder of coach Bob Woolmer, the team spokesman said.

"We heard from our liaison officer that the police wanted to talk with Inzamam-ul-Haq and Mushtaq Ahmed -- those talks are going on now," Pervez Mir said.

"We'll just have to hear what the outcome is."

"We found out about 30 minutes ago while we were having lunch," Mir added. "We just heard that they had been asked and our manager is with them.

"We're just waiting to hear the outcome of their report and we are complying with whatever necessary questions they have.

"If there is something that they haven't asked (already) I'm sure it's not going to be a big deal."

Seems like the usual police procedure to me, nothing sinister there imo.

[TT Boy]

BBC World Service are leading with this but with rather sinister undertones.

Excellent news, I didn't like thinking of some of the headlines if it hadn't been such a smooth operation.

Pakistan can fly home and regroup hopefully.
