Cricket: ‘2011 Cricket World Cup to be short and effective’

Apart from Bob Woolmer’s unfortunate death, India’s shocking exit and Pakistan’s loss to Ireland, the 2007 ICC World Cup is also remembered for its excruciatingly lengthy format. Of course, the Australians won the title again, in fact thrice in succession. But that bit came after 49 days of cricket that seemed like never ending. Compare that to the 1996 World Cup jointly hosted by India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka that finished in just 29 days or even the 1992 version, hosted by Australia and New Zealand, which got over in 31 days. They are vividly remembered for many reasons, one of them being for less time consuming.
