Cricket World Cup 2015 launch tomorrow



The Cricket World Cup 2015 is set to be launched tomorrow at functions in Australia and New Zealand. According to the Cricket World Cup Twitter Account, the launch will include details of pools, fixtures and venues. You can catch the launch live via this link http://www.icc-cricket.com/cricket-world-cup at 1:00am GMT (10:00am AEST).

It should be interesting to see how the games split ended up. Originally it was thought to be a 50-50 arrangement, however there were thoughts a couple of months ago that the this may have changed (http://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/cricket/6864023/New-deal-for-NZs-Cricket-World-Cup-hosting)

I'm hoping that the MCG gets the final as let's be honest, it's the premier cricket ground in the region. ANZ Stadium in Sydney is a possibility but its not even close to a 'cricket' ground and it will be a real shame for the final to be hosted there.

The pools are also due to be announced tomorrow. I'm not sure how they will have done this, and whether from rankings, or just commercial interests. Whatever happens, tomorrow is the beginning of the journey to the 2015 Cricket World Cup.
