Asia "bought" Windies World Cup vote
I always thought the ICC was incompetent and blind, but up until now I never actually thought it would be corrupt.

A place for me to indulge my passion for New Zealand cricket, post those stories that don't make the back pages of the morning paper and discuss cricket with my friends.

Yeh - but all that really means is they had more money for the "buying" than we did. I'm sure Australia and NZ would've tried the same things, but there is more money (more private money any way) in the sub-continent.
If you try to buy votes in a general election in any democratic nation you will be arrested. Why shouldn't the same rules apply to ostentatiously democratic organisations?
If any democratic system could get away with palm greasing, it would be an ostentatious democracy.
I think that the event should be held more often in the area of the world where there are significantly more cricket fans than anywhere else. The excitement and passion are more than could be generated elsewhere.
