International sports news you may have missed

Bob Woolmer, respected coach, former cricket player and author, was murdered in his hotel room in Jamaica following his Pakistani team's loss to Ireland in the Cricket World Cup. By the accounts I've read and heard, Woolmer was the man who was hired to coach when a team needed both good coaching and an image rebuild. Despite allegations of corruption and game fixing in the sport, Woolmer seems to have been above all that. Go to the BBC site, the ICC Cricket Word Cup site, any news site in the UK, India, Pakistan or other places where cricket is king or just google Bob Woolmer.
I know that obituaries tend to praise, but he really sounds like the kind of person that all sports need.
If you're a typical American sports fan you probably haven't heard about this. Unless you listen to BBC late at night on a public radio station, read foreign news online, are from a country where cricket matters or are the kind of mondo sports fan I have yet to meet you probably don't care either. You should. I have this old fashioned idea that athletes should set a good example for the kiddies and that sports teams are important for community building. This explains some of my feelings about pro basketball but not my deep seated love for the Milwaukee Brewers.
If you enjoy a good sports scandal, though, follow cricket. In 2002, the year that SLOC organizers were caught doing what every other Olympic bid committee has done (giving gifts, jobs, sometimes cash to IOC members and their families) that wasn't really the big scandal. The late South African cricket captain Hansie Cronje, 2 Indian and 2 Pakistani players being banned for life for fixing games was. (I read English news online, so I know these things.) The allegations of illegal gambling and fixing in cricket have cast a pall over the sport for years now. Even MSNBC has bothered to pick up the story on their site, though it is an AP story out of London with the lovely summation, "Modern-day professional cricket is plagued by doping scandals, misbehavior by players, match fixing, ball tampering, cheating and riots".
The Jamaican police have brought in the big guns to investigate Woolmer's death.
The head of the ICC (International Cricket Council) says the Cup will continue unless it interferes with the police investigation. The few forums I've glanced at have fans split on this decision.
And cricket continues to make Barry Bonds, Pete Rose and everything else that is wrong with baseball look like pennies in the gutter.
