Dear Fans of Bob Woolmer,
I had the occassion to have breakfast with Bob Woolmer in Mumbai after Pakistan defeated India in the Bnagalore test immediately after losing to India in Calcutta. I found him to be a great leader, strategist and a people's man. He was also blunt and forthright and passionate about Pakistan cricket and coaching.A great soul and an outstanding human being ! I slaute his memory.
