2015 World Cup: 10 teams and no associates

Another thing I just though about is the amount of Irish people living in Australia and New Zealand. Without any official stats I'd be confident that their numbers would be pretty high. I bet you'd get quite a few of these folks at an Irish cricket game in the WC, especially those who have lived there for an extended period and perhaps picked up the game.

I thought about it but seeing as it was a super 6 I think 4 going through is a bit too many.

I've noticed that the ICC twitter feed, which asks around for public opinion and reports just about every cricket news story, is yet to mention this ruling. They're ashamed and they know it.

Looks like it was the Australia and NZ boards which started the motion and then BCCI sealed it:-
Deutrom says 2015 hosts Australia and New Zealand were the prime movers behind the move back to a 10-team World Cup, which was the format back in 1992.
The Cricket Ireland chief believes that India then drove through the plan to restrict the 2015 competition to full-member countries, although he believes they were supported by a number of other nations.
On Tuesday, Cricket Australia chief James Sutherland described his country's schedule for this year's World Cup as "unsatisfactory".
"The Australian team had two seven-day breaks at one stage and during that period the only cricket they were playing was against minnow countries,'' said Sutherland.
"So from our point of view, we went a bit stale there in the middle. The decision to go to a 10-team competition is something we're very supportive of."

Distgusting. The schedule is the associates' fault now?
As though Australia-Sri Lanka was rained off because of the prescence of the Canadian team. Or that it would be so pissing impossible for the organisers to schedule more than one or two matches a day across an entire ****ing continent.
How about not to have a huge group table where it takes half a season to hold the first round, eh? maybe that's why you went "a bit stale"? Oh, no, that's exactly what you want to do, isn't it?
Who do these ****ing morons think they're talking to? Here's a tip, Sutherland: Cricket fans are not toddlers. Every once in a while we might know what we're ****ing talking about.
Complete and total bull****, every word. Admit you're doing it for the money, or shut the **** up.
Edit: Oh, and such a shame Australia had to waste their time against minnow countries. I bet Tait and Lee were getting really stale while they were getting smashed out of the park by Hiral Patel.

James Sutherland obviously thinks most fans swallow the junk that CA spin out endlessly.
