Episode 3: The Bob Woolmer Special in Collaboration with Andrew McLean (featuring Azhar Mahmood, James Fitzgerald, and Zainub Razvi)

This is a podcast about the life and career of Bob Woolmer, the former English cricketer who coached Pakistan between 2004 and 2007 (made in collaboration with the journalist and broadcaster Andrew McLean). Woolmer died in mysterious circumstances the day after Pakistan lost to Ireland in the 2007 World Cup. This podcast explores his career from the perspective of a Pakistani player (Azhar Mahmood), an International Cricket Council employee (James Fitzgerald), and a Pakistani fan and blogger (Zainub Razvi). Part I of this podcast focuses on the investigation into Woolmer’s death from the perspective of James Fitzgerald. James was the communications manager of the International Cricket Council (ICC) when Woolmer lost his life. Part II features Andrew’s interview with Azhar Mahmood, the former Pakistani cricketer who was a part of the 2007 WC team. Last but not least, I discuss Woolmer’s coaching from a Pakistani fans perspective with Zainub Razvi in Part III. Zainub was a blogger writing about cricket when Woolmer was Pakistan's coach, and interacted with him through his coaching website.
