World Cup Reshuffle
From Reading it all seems quite a good idea as everybody knows the 2007 world cup was awful and way too long. Also the standard of cricket was quite poor.
The World Cup could have a major, and much-needed, overhaul following the lengthy Caribbean competition, which was further exposed by the success of the two-week Twenty20 format. ICC officials are meeting in Bangladesh this week to discuss the next tournament, in Asia in 2011, with seven different formats on the table including a single league.
Cricket Australia has already said it would welcome a shorter version following this year's inflated 47-day tournament which turned many off, and they're not the only board thinking that way. Peter Young, Cricket Australia's spokesman, told Sydney's Daily Telegraph on Thursday: "We support a shorter tournament. Most nations do now."
