[bob woolmer] it's just not cricket

This is the sort of thing which makes one throw up the hands in despair:

According to the Daily Mail, police in Kingston now believe Mr Woolmer died of natural causes, brought on by chronic ill-health and possibly diabetes.

And now they're coming out and saying "told you so":

Former Pakistan player Asif Iqbal told the BBC that Jamaican police carried out a "Bollywood kind of investigation". "Every day there were different stories in the newspaper, every day there was a different way of his being murdered. I think they made a mess of it to be very honest."

All right, if everyone's so wise now, after the event, why did the BBC not report these comments in full at the time? The answer is that if was not the story they were running with at the time so they downplayed it.

Murder is a great headline grabber. Natural causes is not.

What is sickening is the way the BBC acted earlier and is now acting "the sage" on the matter, as if they knew this all along.
