http://www.smh.com.au/sport/cricket-writer-peter-roebuck-dies-20111113-1ndg0.htmlApparently, he was a disturbed man last night, and police confiscated his stuff and all - what's the full story? Not another Bob Woolmer? :(Interestingly, the gentleman's game is the worst among all Sports when it comes to the extent of match fixing evil

He was once accosted by Mark Nicholas, who penned a regular column himself at the time and informed Roebuck that they were the best cricket writers around. “Who told you that” quipped Roebuck, “your mother?” :rotfl:
