Gamblers Palace Cricket World Cup
The 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup will be hosted by the West Indies from March 13 to April 28, 2007. There will be a total of fifty one matches played
in the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup, which is three matches less than the 2003
ICC Cricket World Cup, despite the two extra teams taking part. It will be
contested by 16 nations divided into 4 groups of 4 teams. The top two teams
from each group will then compete in a Super 8" format, similar to the previous "Super 6" format, from which the semi-finalists will be decided.
Jamaica (Greenfield Stadium, Trelawny) will host the Opening Ceremony on 11 March.
In the eight cricket world cup tournaments held so far, five teams have won.
Australia, the current champions, is the most successful World Cup team,
having won the tournament three times. West Indies won the first two tournaments
while India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka have won one each. The Cricket World Cup 2007
will be held in the West Indies and will consist of 16 teams.
Do not miss out on all the world cup Cricket betting action, as the Aussie's defend their
ICC championship trophy at the 2007 Cricket World Cup tournament with 15 teams vying for
the chance to be cricket's next World Champion.
Who do you think will win the Cricket World Cup title next year; will this be the year
that the Windies Cricket team regain their true form and capture the ICC Cricket championship,
or would one of the Asian powerhouses surprise us and take the title. Some say, that the
Aussie's are the ones to beat, however, the rookie class of Ireland, Canada, Holland and
Bermuda are hoping to make a name for themselves during the Cricket World Cup 2007 tournament.
Day matches will be held from 9:30 to 17:15 West Indies time. The first innings
will run from 9:30 - 13:00 and the 2nd innings will run from 13:45 to 17:15.
The matches will be One-day Internationals. They will be operating through
normal ODI rules. All matches are 50 overs a side unless stated otherwise by
the umpires or match referee. A bowler may only bowl a maximum of 10 overs
per match. In the occurrence of bad weather, each side must have batted and
bowled a minimum of 20 overs each for a result to be declared (if the match
has not otherwise been won). If each side has batted and bowled at least
twenty overs, the Duckworth- Lewis method will apply in order to determine
the result or target.
