CWC 2011

The opening match is 23 months away. Pakistan are scheduled to host 14 matches.

Is this viable? If nay, what's the likely fix?

Of course it's not viable. No doubt the ICC will dilly dally around, mind.

Morally it should have been anyway as the subi-quartet didn't get their bid in on time but money talks all languages so the antipodes missed out.

Sutherland said just before that he has no concerns for it over there at this stage.

Commonwealth Games in India now looking dodgy with the terrorism and their inability to get projects completed.

comm games will be on again in melbourne...i have what will be a collectors item - a polo t with 2010 banindian comm games insignia...will plank it on ebay when the CG are removed from banindia

no matches in pak. the last meeting was a bit prophetic i guess

the other 3 will share the pakistani matches

I say we don't have enough threads on this topic.

ICC president David Morgan has played down suggestions that the 2011 World Cup will be moved away from Pakistan where some of the matches are scheduled to be staged.

Speaking to a media conference at Lord's and flanked by chief executive Haroon Lorgat, Morgan admitted that the ICC "will have to think carefully about the extent Pakistan will be used for the event. The current situation need not perpetuate into the future. We must not believe Pakistan will remain unsafe for ever. Teams should not be expected to go there in the immediate future."

Got a pretty good stadium at Townsville these days...
