ICC had to suffer losses in WC07 edition,it was not a successful like WC 03 in SA or even T20 last year,major setback happened because India and Pakitan were out in 1st round
What are you really saying or trying to say? Are you saying that because India and Pakistan did not play to get beyond the point they got that it was a cost financially to the ICC?? What economic wizardry have you used to make such analysis? Or are you saying even if the grounds were filled it still meant nothing to the revenues earned?
The ICC put in place countless security measures, that is what did a disservice to the WC07 not the departure of India and Pakistan!
If you want to say what am thinking you are trying to get to say, then just have the testicular fortitude and say it: You are playing this out to size, we should not host because we do not have stadiums with 50,000 capacity, based on that fact then we (West Indies) cannot maximize gate revenues, I agree, but that is why their is Marketing, Promotions, TV Rights etc...., the Caribbean (West Indies) is good a place to host any and every ICC event just as any of the other 8 ICC Member countries, and much safer than a couple of them are presently.
So I say we welcome the event, it is up to us and the ICC to take lessons from WC07 and help make 2010 WT20 great!!!
