Yeah, 2007 had maximum. How many did 2003 have? 14?
At the same time its bad omen for us as we don't play well on foreign pitchesajuravi007 said:Good 2015 WC in Australia...2019 WC in England...both the countries have fantastic grounds ...it should be a pleasure for our eyes to watch the matches from those countries...
Its nothing as Good Cricket pitches. Even few foreign teams cannot play well in flat pitches in India, Vice-Versa.chromaniac said:Who the F cares? Cricket needs to be played on good pitches with good crowd and excellent commentary. I am sick and tired of watching (thankfully i do not get to watch that much cricket these days) cricket that is played inside india.
But then, no matter where the matches are going to be played, the commentary team would be full of indian and pakistani dickheads and the advertising would be insane because of the high price local broadcasters pay for the rights.
I want to see some good cricket...which is pleasing to my eyes & ears...Jignesh said:At the same time its bad omen for us as we don't play well on foreign pitches
I agree with you...Cricket does not mean playing well only in England or Australia or SA pitches ....We play in flat cricket we cant help it out...its our nature...if england and australia country located here they would had the same pitches what we have...similarly we india was located in europe we would have been having seeming wicket....but 1 thing as i said earlier no matter what its always a pleasure to watch matches played in Aus and Eng....Jignesh said:Its nothing as Good Cricket pitches.

Pool A: England, Australia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, New Zealand, Qualifier 2 and Qualifier 3
Pool B: South Africa, India, Pakistan, West Indies Zimbabwe, Ireland and Qualifier 4Venue cities: Adelaide, Auckland, Brisbane, Canberra, Christchurch, Dunedin, Napier, Nelson, Hamilton, Hobart, Melbourne, Perth, Sydney, Wellington
Among other key fixtures, the previously earthquake-stricken Christchurch will host the tournament's opening match between New Zealand and Sri Lanka on February 14 at Hagley Oval, while later that same day Australia will play England at the MCG. Having been drawn together in Pool A, Australia will travel to Auckland to meet New Zealand on February 28. Melbourne, Sydney, Adelaide and Wellington will each host a quarter-final.
But the organisers ultimately retained the same formula as 1992, handing matches to the SCG and Eden Park before the event's show-piece takes place on March 29 at the MCG, where a crowd of more than 87,000 had watched Imran's team triumph.
