They already made a mess of one world cup. Seems no one learned any lesson.

Any world cup in WI is criminal to fans from India .. they start so late at night who the hell will watch ..

hitman, these are 2020, so mos likely they will start around 5 am in the morning in India since games would be at night. They story might be different on double header days. I would try my best to go.. But too early rite now for me to confirm it

[hitman1980]

btw it won't be a prob for me as I am in US only .. But I was telling abt my experience when I was in India .. man its real tough to wake up so early ... I guess there is some dialog in a movie saying "subah 4-5 baaje ki neend kumbhkaran ki neend hoti hai" :D

I think its fair enough..We NRIs in Canada and US have been giving up our sleep and going sleepless to our offices and lectures just to follow Indian matches going in subcontinent.....Its time some of the pure Indians do that...

I think its better to have matches at night time than office time. I can go to bed earlier than usual and catch the match early morning. Thats better than missing the entire match sitting in the office. I will manage the dark circles with some quick naps in the office.:D

Hi Guys. Scottish Cricket fan here.I have booked up for Barbados for the Super 8's next May.Accomodation sorted.No info about tickets yet apart from the very expensive hospitality packages.I was in the Windies for the WC ,the ticket prices were set so high it was well out of the range of the locals.I dont think they will make the same mistake again.

It's nice to have you here. Let's hope they don't make the same mistake again. Ya I remember last time even the home team(West Indies) games didn't use to get a full attendance. It was really disappointing. By the way, do bring more Scot friends of yours on this forum.

Is this world cup really on? With Windies in total mess, will they even have a team??

Here is an update from the WICB site.Still no news about when tickets will go on sale but at least there is an indication that prices will be set at a fair rate for ordinary fans. · Being a WICB Twenty20 event there will be all of the customary West Indian sounds and sights at every match, including conch shells, flags and drums · The public ticket prices have been set low to focus on filling every ground with all of the enthusiastic West Indian cricket fans and travelling fans alike – every match is guaranteed to be a genuine spectacle · At the Super Eight stage, every team that qualifies will play in both St Lucia and Barbados. A suite customer will be able to watch every Super Eight team play, as well as both semi-finals (St Lucia) or the final (Barbados) With the exception of two match days in Guyana, every game day will feature double-headers, offering twice as much cricket for half of the price.

Hi Online. I tried to reply to your previous message but due to my low number of posts I did not have the capability. We have booked around the St Lawrence Gap area in Barbados.This is on the south west coast near the capital. Our accomodation is room only.This seems to be the norm in the Caribbean other than the All Inclusive option which you don't want really if you're away from the hotel and at the cricket. There are a lot of restaurants in this area. For three adults it has cost us approx £2300,ie £800 each.This includes flights and accommodation. We looked at booking independantly but we ended up booking a package deal with Virgin as it worked out cheaper. If you google a site named Tripadvisor and then type in Barbados you can find your way around a number of options and comments regarding accomodation and also places to visit and eat. Good luck Saltire

I went to the 2007 WC in Trinidad and Tobago. Had a fantastic time as I stayed in the same hotel as the players, ate dinner with them, talked with them for long periods of time. It was also the first international match i've ever been to. Great atmosphere, was a beaut of a day for cricket. Pity we lost so badly though.
