Story England Challenge To The 2011 World Cup [ICC3]

[dullah]

England have never won the Cricket World Cup since its start in 1975. They have gone close i.e in 1992 where they reached the Final down-under. Everyone can remember the "Wasim Akram Ball of the Century" to Allan Lamb. Now looking ahead, they are looking towards the 2009 Ashes and more closely at the 2011 Cricket World Cup in the Sub-Continent. In the recent 2007 Cricket World Cup, they had a poor run in the Tournament. Now the West Indians and the Indians come to England for an English Summer. So here it is. The road for England Cricket begins.......NOW
