We better get it. we have not had a major cricket comp this century.

 

[McLOVIN]

South Africa. or do it in Caribbean. ha that reminds me of WC2007...nvm dont do it in Caribbean.

Australia or RSA

 

[SciD]

Kenya for me. That place is lucky for us.

Sad for Pakistan that they haven't got it, probably to Australia now?

Good to see the ICC come to their senses and give England a win in the oval Test match aswell Pakistan refused to take the field and although they had good reason to complain the way they did it was completely wrong and the umpires did the right thing.

They wouldn't be able to play at most of the major grounds due to the AFL season (Finals/Grand Final). So I think you can rule out Australia.

The grand final is held at the MCG. I'd be happy to go for South Africa again.

Obviously it would be rescheduled to October/November if it was in Australia Sean, we wouldn't leave it in AFL and NRL finals time.

Australia does seem the obvious host, since we missed out on the 2011 World Cup. We certainly have the grounds and the fans to do the tournament well.

If there is nothing in the major grounds, give it to Australia. I mean they have not hosted a major trophy since 1992.

Australia Please have'nt seen a major International Tournament Live held there ever

Although there isn't a chance of it happening I hope NZ get it, or at least share it with aus. The 2015 cup is just too far away :crying

 

[mdoggie]

I wish it would be hosted in South Africa but considering we hosted the T20 world cup last year, the chances are minute.

 

[Cricketman]

Sarjah, perhaps? Singapore?

Sri Lanka?

 

[Gunner786]

at this moment in time this was for the best

 

[Precambrian]

Australia definitely, they may share the load with NZ if needed. But god, ages since a world series was held there.

Good decision on reversing the test. I Hope they host the tournament in Holland. I can imagine Fred out in Amsterdam.
