Ridiculous claim. If that was so then we'd have been given the 2014 WC instead of India. When we got our application in on time (You didn't) and, you know, followed the rules rather than flout them with utter contempt.
Ah yes, it's all a conspiracy. We're all anti India and devised an elaborate scheme. We got all the Indian crowds to chant racist things in India so that when we got here it would seem like it's all Indias fault. Rather elaborate wouldn't you say?
Obviously the Member Boards voted for the World Cup to be in the sub-continent rather than have it in Aus.
I'm dead sure,they would have voted for NZ,if it were only NZ.
I know this is a bit off-topic but you are telling me to follow the same news channels who had 24 hours coverage of a bollywood celebrity's marriage?
Switch to some neutral channel and see how the whole world is looking at it.
Reuters has its own channel in India.
And why should we bother about what the world thinks,the world-well half the world does not know what cricket is !
