Cricket murder

I've never understood the game of cricket, or the passions involved where the sport is popular -- but for the most part it's been seen as a way of easing tensions between sometimes bitter rivals. To hear the breaking news on the BBC as I was driving tonight that Bob Woolmer, the coach of Team Pakistan, did not die of natural causes but was in fact murdered is nonetheless a huge shock, especially during the sport's World Cup. Even CNN -- the US service, not just its international arm -- has this on their front page tonight which tells you how big this is.

One can only hope that CSI Kingston doesn't turn into CSI Cancun and bungle the investigation.
