2011 World Cup Pre-Event Discussion

Dhoni and Sachin can't be banned. I don't see the reason for the argument.

 

[AbhishekS]

Do you seriously think Indian fans would allow any game on any venue if Sachin is banned

Why not! Sachin is not bigger than the game.

Cricinfo does not cover important stories these days. This will prop up there in afew days time. Meanwhile, it is true and Tendulkar especially is in greater danger of being banned.

 

[AbhishekS]

it is true and Tendulkar especially is in greater danger of being banned.

But he won't be banned. BTW, from where did you get the info?

 

[icyman]

Helps when you have sources in the Cricket Associations. Tendulkar is in greater danger cause of the simple fact that he has tied up with Coke.

Tbh, the ICC won't be able to do anything with that guy, but since he has tied up with Coke, they might ask him to clamp down on Coke ads.

Nothing on cricinfo or the main news media outlet so obviously nothing serious or even an issue as that would be all over them if it was.

The Indian news channels would've nothing else to show if that was true. It would've been their 'Breaking News' throughout the week.

True. Its a big serious issue of any sort going by the kind of spotlight thats being thrown (or not being thrown actually!) at it.

 

[mohit_dude10]

Yeah but surprised it isn't actually.

Found it on TOI too Players can be thrown out of WC for ambush marketing: ICC

 

[Cricketman]

Don't believe it. The Indian team almost pulled out of the 03 WC supposedly because of sponsors, doubt this will be an issue.

still bitter they didn't cover the auction Well the poll on cricinfo said it all, majority, almost 70% don't care about the IPl

---------------------------------

anyhow on topic. I really couldn't care less about limited overs cricket or this tournament but these last few days I'm starting to feel excited about it. Hope it's competitive and we see at least one big upset.

Sort of . But if you observe, they tend to put up stuff late these days. The ambush-marketing clauses and the potential expulsion of players too was not covered.

It varies from region to region. In India, they will telecast only India warm-up games.

Btw, any idea as to the composition of the commentary team ?

I am guessing Gavaskar, Bhogle, Chappell, Wilkins,Akram, Manjrekar and Shashtri will be definitely there. Additionally, it seem that ESShas signed on Tony Greig too.
