and you know why is that?

I am aware of that, but we don't want any political/religous arguments in this thread.

it has to be Australia, great stadiums, great pitches and cos England dont play well in Asia!

Well, I am not really bothered who won, although Asia is better because I can actually watch it at a decent time over here. However, Australia has a better quality of presentation and facilities, but I'm sure Asia will improve by then and provide great entertainment. I hope the final is at Eden Gardens, though there are reasons to oppose it.

It would be good to have it at the Eden Gardens,a bit surprised that not a single match in the Champions Trophy is going to be held here.

What a joke. The ICC bending over backwards for Asia again. My avatar couldn't be more correct.

It is also confirmed that Australia and NZ would be jointly hosting the 2015 World Cup and England would hosting the 2019.

I would have really wanted it to be hosted in Australia, New Zealand, but good news for people who voted Asia. Can't wait, for... WC07 first.

They haven't played too well in Australia of late, either....
I can't believe us Antipodeans got robbed
Not that Asia didn't deserve it, but it would've been great to have it over here. Also, by the event taking place in Australia, it could've been a thankyou gesture to how Australia have revolutionized modern cricket and imposed themselves so well on the world stage....Okay, I'm speaking rubbish, but I'm going to be 23 next time we host it

Australian and NZ facilities are far more superior, it was our turn, Asia had it in 1996...and u dont get crowd violence and riots in this part of the world!

what a load of bull.

I' Remember reading the Book which Freddi says "The aussie Fans drank themselves silly and looked for a target to abuse. Murli was Fielding down at third man and chopping loads of stick from the crowd, so I told Graeme Smith I'd swap with him and go down the there instead. It was a big mistake on my part! All the happened was I got a load of stick instead- I won't be volunteering to feild out when England play in Sydney next winter, thats for sure..." and don't forget how bad the Aussie crowd are mate, of what they did in World XI Super Series last year. :


Book is "Being Freddie" My story so far (copyright that book)

No surpise, I could have betted my house on the fact Asia would win the 2011 hosting rights. They had a head start of 4 votes which swung it well and truely into their favour.
