Road to the 2011 ODI World Cup

[Richard]

Aamer was not even born when Pakistan tasted WC victory in Feb 1992.

Well... supposedly. Can't shake the feeling that in reality he probably was, though obviously he'd not have been born long.

 

[Richard]

Players in 92 WC who can still play in 2011
SRT and
Jayasuriya (may be)

96 WC
Murali,
Ponting
Chanderpaul
May be one or two kenyans
that's about it.

So, from the major sides, Tendulkar, Murali, Chanderpaul and, possibly, Jayasuriya. Anyone else who has played in a WC previously will have seen only Australian victories.

 

[AlanJLegend]

In the past 6 or so months, Australia have beaten Pakistan 3-2, England 6-1, India 4-2 (in India, no small feat), Pakistan 5-0 and 4-0.

Perhaps not all the greatest opposition, but until the Aussies give a reason to suggest they will not win the 2011 world cup, they have my money...

You can add Bas Zuiderent to that list also

 

[L Trumper]

Is he gonna play in 2011 too ?
Cool , he did well in 96 but didn't do much in 03.

What I want to ****ing know is why Australia and New Zealand miss out on a world cup that should be theirs considering it is their turn.

Instead we go back to the sub continent where there has been nothing but trouble for the past half decade. Even the Indian Premier League had to be shifted to South Africa and may have to be again. There were terrorist attacks not long ago at all, there are new warnings and the last time an international team played in pakistan they were targets.

Absolute madness and completely unfair to NZ and Aus AFAIC.

Money.

So you'll be giving the WC final to NZ in 2015 then? Sounds fair

 

[Julian87]

Australia should have the WC next year and NZ in 2015.

That'd be ****ing fair.

 

[Richard]

I'll go so far as to say that if NZ ever host a (full) WC by themselves in my lifetime I'll eat my computer.

 

[Cevno]

That'd be ****ing fair.

Then i guess India,Paksitan ,Srilanka and Bangladesh should have their own individual world cups as well.

 

[GIMH]

Should go back to basics and host them all in England

 

[NUFAN]

Yeah, 60-over WCs FTW, put this 20-over crap in its place.

 

[pasag]

It's very possible NZ will host a world cup on its own if ODIs lose relevance and no one wants it but they keep playing WCs anyways for whatever reason.

That's it, move those pesky goalposts.

Might I recommend some of this to go with your pc:

Well, re-clarify those pesky goalposts' position more like.
