twenty20 world cup

Cricket's undisputed leaders Australia are favourites to win the inaugural Twenty20 world championships starting on Tuesday, but rivals are geared to spring surprises.
The shortest version of the game, marked by innovative strokeplay and a flurry of sixes and boundaries, promises to underline the belief that limited-overs cricket is an unpredictable sport.
Australia may have won three successive World Cup titles, but matches restricted to 20-overs-a-side have given other teams confidence that they are not there just to make up the numbers.

INDIA SOUTHAFRICA IN IRELAND

Allrounder Jacques Kallis will lead a new-look South African squad on a short tour to Ireland this month.

The India-South Africa one-day series will go ahead as scheduled next month after the Indian cricket board wriggled out of a broadcast wrangle on Thursday. The three-match series in Northern Ireland had been thrown into doubt on Wednesday after rights holder Zee Television pulled out of a deal to broadcast matches involving India at neutral venues, citing differences with the board. The series will now be broadcast by Mumbai-based Nimbus Sports, who already hold the rights to all international matches in India until 2010.
The matches in Belfast are part of the BCCI's plan to play 25 one-day internationals at offshore venues over a five-year period, for which Zee had bought the rights for $219 million. The first event was held in September last year when India took on world champions Australia and the West Indies in Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur.

CRICKET: AFRO ASIAN CUP

What's your main opinion of the Afro-Asian series?


Just a money-making effort???
Opportunity for improving inter-and intracontinental relations???
Lacks the so-called "stars" to make it worthwhile???
Exciting variation from the norm???
Pointless tournament in an already bulging international schedule???
