Posted March 24, 200718 yr Last Updated: Saturday, 24 March 2007, 21:01 GMT Pakistan duo quizzed over Woolmer BBC News Pakistan's cricket captain and the assistant coach are being interviewed by Jamaican police investigating the murder of Bob Woolmer. Team spokesman Pervez Mir said police had asked to talk to Inzamam-ul-Haq and Mushtaq Ahmed. "Those talks are going on now. We'll have to wait for the outcome," he said. It is not yet clear why the pair - senior members of the Pakistan squad - are being questioned but correspondents say it is a bizarre twist in the case. Pakistan's players had already given police DNA samples and fingerprints as part of the probe into Mr Woolmer's murder and were preparing to fly home.
March 25, 200718 yr Author Inzy: Team not involved Captain Inzamam-ul-Haq insists it is "unthinkable" any of the Pakistan team were involved in Bob Woolmer's murder. Inzamam and assistant coach Mushtaq Ahmed both faced further questioning by Jamaican police, although team manager Asad Mustafa insisted they were just completing formalities before leaving. Inzamam told Sky: "It's absolutely unthinkable. Someone who thinks the team (was involved) is crazy." Police rule out team Jamaican police are convinced Mushtaq Ahmed and Inzamam-ul-Haq had nothing to do with Bob Woolmer's murder. Pakistan assistant Ahmed and captain Inzamam were quizzed by officers investigating the death of their coach. Asked if he was happy that team members were not involved, deputy commissioner Mark Shields said: "Absolutely, at this stage there is nothing we would say to the contrary." Woolmer 'not in control' Former PCB chief Shahryar Khan claims Bob Woolmer never had full control of the national side with skipper Inzamam- ul-Haq "the unquestioned leader". Shahryar revealed while Woolmer enjoyed a good relationship with the players there was friction with Inzamam. He told Five Live: "He never really had full control of the team, either spiritual or cricketing, because this lay with the captain most of the time." Strauss in Woolmer claim England batsman Andrew Strauss believes the "dark underworld" of betting and match-fixing could have played a part in the murder of Bob Woolmer. The Pakistan coach was strangled in his hotel room in Kingston, Jamaica, last Sunday just hours after his team exited the World Cup after defeat by Ireland. Strauss told the Sunday Telegraph: "Perhaps the dark underworld reliant on huge profits may have been involved."
March 25, 200718 yr I don't find this betting thing remotely logical For Pakistan v Ireland Pakistan would be about 20-1 ON and Ireland about 25-1 AGAINST so surely betting syndicates would make far more money betting on Ireland than Pakistan and Ireland won the game so the betting stuff makes no sense
