World Cup 2011

When New Zealand and Australia put in a bid to co-host the 2011 World Cup our bid looked a little hopeless given that India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka were combining powers to put in a counter-bid. But it seems that ICC have rejected the sub-continent's first bid and has asked them to resubmit a revised bid. The buzz is that there are major hurdles to clear in a very short space of time for this second bid to be accepted and the New Zealand and Australian Boards are starting to feel increasingly optimistic.
