Australia and NZ launch World Cup bid
Cricket Australia (CA) announced today that it would join forces with New Zealand to bid for the right to host the 2011 World Cup.

Sounds awesome. If we get to see some decent sides.


CA will probably announce the following:

World Cup Matches @ Adelaide Oval

Bangladesh vs Zimbabwe
Namibia vs Scotland
Canada vs Netherlands

Dont complain we had a VB series final here and only 22,000 turned up.

Last I heard the expectation was that Pakistan, India and Sri Lanka would collaborate and the pressure to play in the subcontinent would more than likely be too great to deny their bid ...

I recall them saying last time the World Cup was played here, that it would be the last- not sure who had the authority to say that, maybe it was just an opinion of the time. I think it may have had something to do with the fact of it being in an "unfriendly" timezone- ratings would not be good o/s, but I can't be a 100% sure.

Plus we played like crap and went in favourites and didn't reach the finals.

And the fact that a few countries rate us (the fans) as the worst in the world or close to it. So that would also be taken into account. But christ a World cup on the sub-cont. Bloody hard to win one there.

Yes 1980 Tassie Map, 1987 was a GREAT year, wasn't it?? Maybe you should change your name to '1987 Tassie Map'

Personally i think 89 was a better year, but i guess most North supporters wouldnt agree

No, just keep your GF refernces to- 1980,88,90, 92 etc..

New Zealand has The Game They Play in Heaven World Cup in 2011.

This could be a very very good year for the mad sports spectator.

We won't get the World Cup because we are a bunch of Rednecks. And George W Wuss can restrict his Grand Final references to 1984 and 1997.
