Ok, so the world cup is over, and Australia took it home.
This certainly has been quite an eventful world cup, with a load of controversies, confusions and emotions. Just to name a few
- The heavy weights Pakistan was sent home before the Super 8's
- Bob Woolmer, Pakistan coach was murdered (so they say)
- Inzamam resigns, the Pakistan cricket board president resigns and lots of mayhem
- Another big contender India also sent home before the Super 8's
- Riots in India
- Greg Chappel steps down
- Flintoff gets sacked
- Critisim towards the ICC at the organisation of the world cup; too long, bad turnout of spectators, loss making, no carribean atmosphere, not enough resources for players etc
- Many big names retire; team coaches from Tom Moody to Duncan Fletcher; players like Lara, McGrath, Stephen Fleming, and our Russel Arnold (this will also probably be the last world cup of Jayasuriya, Murali and Vass as well)
Oh boy! It's good that a world cup comes along only once in four years!
