World Cup 2007 - A preview

This is my first attempt at a blog.. I have wanted to start this for a while now and hoping that the upcoming cricket world cup provides the necessary impetus to do so. With less than 20 days to go for the warm up games, these are exciting times for every cricket fan, especially given the recent form of super power Aussies and the drubbing they received at the hands of New Zealand and England. This is definitely going to be a closely contested world cup with no team really steamrolling through the tournament as the Aussies did last year with 11 wins. I can't wait to have the minnows out of the way and I am really hoping that we have no surprises in the super eight's unlike last year where Kenya made the semifinals. Over the next few days, I will try to provide a sneak preview into the various teams in the competition and analyze some of their strengths and weaknesses and hence their chances in the Caribbean world cup 2007. Stay posted.
