2007 Cricket World Cup (West Indies) thread

I'v heard something like that, but I thought it couldn't be US $, that's quite alot.

No wonder the other matches is not even half full.

Thats R720 per game! Ludicrous. And apparently the peeps in the Windies also don't earn all that much so a price of $30-40 would've been the sweet spot.

EDIT. Yes it is definitely USD $.

GDP per capita (gross domestic product per person)

3 United States 41,399

45 Saint Kitts and Nevis 14,649
46 Trinidad and Tobago 14,258

53 South Africa 12,161

Looks like were about off the same.

Peterson reprimanded for smash

Is stump-wicket smashing legal??

Peterson said after the match: "I actually meant to swing my bat above the stumps but my spikes got caught up in the pitch and I lost balance.

If you say so.

He went straight for those stumps. His own Jonty Rhodes version of it.

 

[krycor]

Ag, ICC is nitpicking.

Waiting for the day Asia disbands the I.C.C as they have threatened before. ICC is run by lawyers for laywers.

Taking vidz off youtube, i mean FFS, it's a sport that needs every advertisement it can get.

How could his studs get caught in the pitch when he was 3 feet in the air?

I agree, mccrack. With these ticket prices, removing any cricket vids from Youtube and wanting to clamp down on OBO reporting, it's like they want to keep cricket as their own little secret.

Ireland dont suck sooooo bad, they almost beat SA in the warm ups, so they sorta capable. England will beat them and so will everyone else.

India and Pakis are known to throw matches.
