As we look back at the just concluded Cricket World cup…
Firstly would love to congratulate the English team for taking their first world cup. Looking back it was a good tournament with a fairy tale ending as well but probably not something the Kiwis might want to hear.
Going forward they are some issues which raised some few eye brows during the tournament and one of them being some umpiring decisions and some of the rules of the game which might be questionable.
My biggest question and worry is that will the International Cricket Council Continue to have a 10 teams 50 OVER CRICKET WORLD CUP. From a commercial perspective I understand the decision to cutting it down to that number but is the moving forward?. Having recently granted more countries ODI statutes how is it possible to even call it a world cup with only 10 teams. The council should have a serious look into this so that they can find a balance between moving the game forward and also having a profitable tournament.
