its always sad to hear about someone taking their own life

[piggynose]

we´ll never know what was going through Peter Roebucks head.

[Everhelpful]

The ex-Cricketer? When did that happen?

[starone]

He has jumped from a sixth floor window when about to be questioned by police about allegations of sexual abuse, I think.

He had done time for beating young cricketers in the past, as well.

A shame that this happened as he was a pretty good cricket writer - obviously a tortured soul and Vic Marks inferreded that he was introverted...

No he didn't, he got a suspended sentence.

[Duncer]

That makes him an all round good egg then?

[piggynose]

it would probably be insensitive to say he possibly Bowled a maiden over.

'caned three 19-year-old men at his home in Devon after they failed to meet his standards in cricket training.'

Well that ain't right for a start

Then he jumps to his death while being investigated for a sexual assault on a man - if he was innocent why jump?

[Duncer]

I wouldn't want to apportion guilt without knowing all of the facts, but it certainly makes you think?

As for caning 19 yuear olds - that reeks of deviancy.

Speaking of which, when my wife calls me a pervert she says it like it's a bad thing.
