controversy related to Woolmer's death

Yesterday late evening I was watching India TV (a news channel in India) and was shocked to know the allegations from former Pakistan pacer Sarfaraz Nawaz that the caoch Bob Woolmer was murdered by the match fixing mafia. He accused almost everyone (from ICC to PCB to Pakistan's players) to be involved in this match fixing scandals. Sarfaraz Nawaz is famous for his big mouth but on the same news channel, Abdul Kadir was also indirectly supporting his allegations. Lets assume everything he said is not correct but then suspicion arises because of unexpected loss of Pakistan to Ireland and India to Bangladesh. As we know that Dravid's decision to bat first on that Port-of-Spain pitch was surprising for almost everyone who knows even A-B-C of cricket. One thing is sure that the cricket governing bodies are not serious about tackling match fixing scandals in world cricket. The indian players who got accused for match fixing in past are now again getting feliciated by BCCI and even Indian Media is inviting them for "expert" comments and analysis during the several ongoing cricket match. I guess we all cricket fans should bycott them.
