Sounds like a stroke most likely...real shame, he was the one guy I wanted as England's coach ahead of the others.

A report says there was blood on him and vomit on the walls. Can a stroke lead to that?

hopefully this doesn't end the same for anyone as it did for Andres Escobar

Edit: From Wiki - Humberto Muñoz Castro was found guilty of Escobar's murder in June 1995 and sentenced to 43 years in prison. Muñoz had been working as a bodyguard. The sentence was later reduced to 26 years due to his submitting to the ruling penal code in 2001. Muñoz was released on good behavior due to further reductions from prison work and study in 2005 after serving approximately 11 years, in a controversial move [3].

Everyone should try to see the Bermuda first wicket today.
Diving catch from Leverock himself (280 lbs of a man for those reading who haven't seen the guy).

Don't think I've ever seen such celebrations after a catch, you'd think someone had scored a goal [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

1.1 Jones to Uthappa, OUT, OMG! what a catch by Dwayne Levorock! And what wild celebrations! Let no body say anymore that a fat man can't jump! Uthappa has a nervous poke, away from the body, at a length-delivery outside off stump. It flew to the right of Leverock hurled himself - hard to visualise, I am not lying but that's what happened- to his right and plucked it single-handed. And the celebrations followed. He ran off to nowhere in particular, changed directions and again went on a jig. The players mobbed him, few other went down in heap in midwicket in celebration. All over each other. Bermuda are overjoyed. The bowler is the bottom of that heap and hold on he is crying. Tears of joy! What a start!
AR Uthappa c Leverock b Jones 3 (4b 0x4 0x6) SR: 75.00
