Cricket in the Subcontinent: 2011 World Cup
The 2011 World Cup will now be in
India
Pakistan
Bangladesh
and Sri Lanka.
The only competing bid was Australia and New Zealand. Fortunately they will get the Cup in 2015.
There's a lot going on between the old Commonwealth and the new Commonwealth.
Is this quite cricket?
In the East Asian-Pacific there are nations you never knew had a cricket team, like Japan.
And Indonesia.
"Indonesia isn't in the Commonwealth, why does it have a cricket team?"
(but I'll root for them just the same).
And I can't wait for next year in the West Indies.
When I was a small child, they ruled cricket in very much the same way as Australia is doing now.
Zimbabwe is a dysfunctional member of the Commonwealth family - will they play in 2007 or 2011?
And check out the European Cricket Council if you can. Just about every country has a team and a league.
I tend to prefer one day cricket to the tests, and I do like 20-20.
I love the energy and verve of subcontinental cricket.
The most exciting World Cup for me was 1999.
Here is what we have to look forward to this season coming.
The 1999 World Cup and some of the more exciting events which happened.
I have a very vague memory of some matches in this cup - my first cricket memories are from 1987-88.
This is the 1992 cup and it was in Australia.
This is the 1996 Cricket World Cup
What ARE the laws of cricket again?
Here is where the result is judged - not necessarily as straightforward as it looks.
For American and Japanese people especially, but interesting to almost everybody: the comparison between cricket and baseball.
And I do remember where I was when I heard Donald Bradman, the famous Australian cricketer, had died.
