1) England : Players dont want to shake hands with President Mugabe will cause a great trouble for them...2) Srilanka : Players demanding for 20% of the money where as board forcing them to accept 10% else they will abstain from world cup or they send B Class team in world cup...3)India : facing lot of problems with signing ICC Contracts..somehow it seems it is solved now...4) Australia : Lehman is suspended for 5 ODI\'s due to racial comments against Srilanka...can do the same for West Indies also..It seems many more such obstacles are on the way of forth coming world cup..Definately such kind of things will create an unhealthy atmosphere and effect the joy of enthuthiastic lovers during the tournament. Hope the coming world cup will be peaceful and blot free. Best of luck to All teams..Ya India Specially..

The true lively spirit of Cricket was dead long before ...in seventies itself. After that all moneymatters.

When I was a kid, I used to watch one-hour highlights of a test cricket on a black & white TV one the single channel DD had. Cricketers played for pride, patriotism and professionalism. Now, you have all kinds of garbage in the name of Cricket. Seems like the good days are gone. Anyway, good luck to India that finds a way to loose.

Just like all the cricket lovers I was a mad fan of this game and needless to say a hardcore loyal to Indian team but after all the disturbing events I just lost my thirst for the game. Now I don\'t even know when the world cup starts! aren\'t you suppose to know the dates months ahead of this? aren\'t you suppose to sleep restless nights when you are so close to worldcup? I wonder if my feelings reflects yours?
