More on the World Cup schedule

There’s a very good article on the World Cup in today’s Independent by James Corrigan.

Bored yet? Or, like me, are you refusing to tune in until the quarter-finals, some time after the Cheltenham National Hunt Festival and a little before Easter?

I said something similar in my last post on this blog.

However, Mr Corrigan forgets one important thing in his criticism of the pared-down World Cup proposed for 2015.

Upsets in cricket are few and far between. He says that the ICC should ‘take a leaf out of Fifa’s book’, but there is a huge difference. The weaker side sometimes wins a football match. It almost never wins a cricket match.
