The 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup is currently taking place in the West Indies; it started on 13 March and will run to 28 April 2007. It is being contested by 16 nations divided into four groups of four. The top two teams from each group will compete in a "Super 8" format, similar to the previous "Super 6" format, from which the semi-finalists will be decided. There will be a total of 51 matches, three fewer than at the 2003 World Cup, despite two extra teams taking part.

The Greenfield Stadium, Trelawny, Jamaica hosted the Opening Ceremony on 11 March.

Host selection

World Cup 2007's Venues in the West Indies.
Country City Stadium Capacity Cost
 Barbados Bridgetown 3Ws Oval 3,500
 Jamaica Trelawny Greenfield Stadium 25,000 US $35 million [1]
 Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Kingstown Arnos Vale Stadium 12,000
 Trinidad and Tobago St. Augustine Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Ground

The Jamaican Government spent US$81 million for "on the pitch" expenses [2]. This included refurbishing Sabina Park and constructing the new multi-purpose facility in Trelawny - through a loan from China. Another US$20 million is budgeted for 'off-the-pitch' expenses, putting the tally at more than US$100 million or JM$7 billion.

This puts the reconstruction cost of Sabina Park at US$46 million whilst the Trelawny Stadium will cost US$35 million. [3] [4] The total amount of money spent on stadiums was at least US$301 million.

The Brian Lara Stadium, in Trinidad, lost its status as a pre-tournament warm-up match venue on 21 September 2006.[5][6]

Qualification

The field of sixteen teams, the largest ever for the Cricket World Cup, consists of all sixteen teams which currently hold One-day International status. This includes the ten full members of the ICC (which all have Test & permanent ODI status):

The other six ODI nations are Kenya (which has permanent ODI status until 2009) and five further teams which qualified via the 2005 ICC Trophy (gaining temporary ODI status, also until 2009, in the process):

Media coverage

File:Icc-cwc2007 mascot.jpg
Mello

The World Cup has grown as a media event with each tournament. The sponsorship and television rights that were awarded primarily to cover the 2003 and 2007 World Cups raised over US$550m [7]. The 2007 World Cup will be televised in over 200 countries to a viewing audience estimated at more than two billion television viewers [8][9], and is expected to generate more than 100,000 unique visitors to the West Indies who will travel solely for the tournament.[10]

The 2007 Cricket World Cup features an orange meerkat named "Mello" as its mascot, and the official song for the World Cup is "The Game of Love and Unity" by Jamaican-born Shaggy, Bajan entertainer Rupee and Trinidadian Faye-Ann Lyons.

Leadup

All major Test-playing nations had schedules allowing them to play a large number of One-day Internationals against other major ODI teams just prior to the World Cup. Australia, New Zealand and England took part in the Commonwealth Bank Series where England defeated Australia in the finals. Australia then went to New Zealand for the Chappell-Hadlee Trophy, losing 3-0. South Africa played five ODIs against India (South Africa won 4-0) and five against Pakistan (South Africa won 3-1) while India also played four ODIs against the West Indies (India won 3-1) and four ODIs against Sri Lanka (India won 2-1). Bangladesh played four ODIs against Zimbabwe (Bangladesh won 3-1) and won a tri-series against Canada and Bermuda. The associate ODI teams took part in the World Cricket League, which Kenya won, and were also involved in other series' prior to the World Cup.

The rankings of the teams at the beginning of the Cricket World Cup were:

Ranking Team Points Ranking Team Points
1 South Africa South Africa 128 9 Bangladesh Bangladesh 42
2 Australia Australia 125 10 Zimbabwe Zimbabwe 22
3 New Zealand New Zealand 113 11 Kenya Kenya 0
4 Pakistan Pakistan 111 12 Template:SCOc 0% / 69%
5 India India 109 13 Template:NEDc 0% / 50%
6 Sri Lanka Sri Lanka 108 14 Template:IRLc 0% / 44%
7 England England 106 15 Template:CANc 0% / 33%
8 File:West Indies Cricket Board Flag.svg West Indies 101 16 Template:BERc 0% / 28%

Note:Teams 12-16 do not have official ODI rankings; they are ranked in this tournament based on their win percentage against full and then associate members.

Warm-up matches

Main article: 2007 Cricket World Cup warm-up matches

Prior to the main tournament all 16 nations played a series of warm-up matches to prepare, experiment with different tactics and to help them get acclimated to conditions in the West Indies. The warm-up matches were not considered as official ODIs.[11] The matches were played from Monday 5 March until Friday 9 March.

Rules and regulations

Matches

Day matches are held from 0930 to 1715 local time. The first innings are held from 0930 to 1300 and the second innings are held from 1345 to 1715. For all venues other than Jamaica, local time is UTC-4, while Jamaican venues have local time UTC-5.

The matches will be One-day Internationals and will operate under normal ODI rules. All matches are to be 50 overs a side unless stated otherwise by the umpires or match referee. A bowler may bowl a maximum of 10 overs per match.

In the event of bad weather, each side must have batted a minimum of 20 overs for a result to be declared (if the match has not otherwise been won, for example if the team batting second is dismissed before the completion of 20 overs). In the event of bad weather, the Duckworth-Lewis method will be applied to determine the result or target. If no result is declared on the scheduled day, the teams return the next day to complete the game, with the same situation as when the game was abandoned. If no result occurs on this second day, the result is officially "no result" and the teams score one point each.

There is a new rule regarding referral of catches to the TV replay official (third umpire): if the standing umpires are unable to determine whether a catch has been taken cleanly, and/or whether a claimed catch is a "bump ball", they have discretion to refer the decision to the third umpire. Also, whilst reviewing such a catch via TV replay if it is clear to the third umpire that the batsman did not hit the ball, he shall indicate that the batsman is not out. [12]

Tournament points

In the Group Stage and in the Super 8 Stage points will be awarded as follows:

Points
Results Points
Win 2 points
Tie/No Result 1 point
Loss 0 points

The top two teams from each group will advance to the Super 8 stage and any points they may have earned against the other qualifier from their own group will be carried through. Points earned against the non qualifing teams in the same pool will not be carried over. In the Super 8s, each team will play the six remaining qualifiers from the other groups and the top four teams will go through to the semi-finals. Positions will be decided by most points. Where two or more teams are tied on points, the following methods in turn will be used to decide which team goes through:[12]

  1. Most wins in their group or in Super 8 whichever is applicable
  2. Higher net run rate
  3. Higher number of wickets taken per ball
  4. Winners of head to head matches
  5. The drawing of lots

Knock-out stages

In the case of a tie or no-result, the Semi-finals will be decided by the following:

  1. Tie - In the event of a tied match the teams will compete in a bowl-out to decide who goes through to the Final.
  2. No result - In the event of a no-result the team with the higher net run-rate in the Super 8 stage will go through to the Final.

If such an event occurs in the Final, the following methods will be used:

  1. Tie - In the event of a tied match the teams will compete in a bowl-out to decide the winners.
  2. No result - The teams will be declared joint winners.

Groups

Seeds

The tournament began with a league stage consisting of four groups of four. Each team will play each of the other teams in its group once. Australia, India, England and West Indies were placed in separate pools for logistical reasons, as they were expected to have the most supporters in attendance, and transport and accommodation capacity in the West Indies is limited.[13]

The groups are listed below, with seedings (rankings from April 2005) shown in brackets. Each group will play all its matches at a single ground.

System

The tournament was preceded by a number of warm-up matches to acclimatise the players. The Group Stage matches started on Tuesday 13 March and will last until Sunday 25 March. There will be a total of 24 matches played in the group stage.

The top two teams in each group will proceed to the "Super 8" stage. This will also use a league system. Each team will carry forward its result against the other team qualifying from its preliminary stage group, and will play the other six qualifying teams once each. The top four teams in the league will qualify for the semi-finals. This system has been modified since the last World Cup, which had a "Super 6" stage rather than a Super 8. The Super 8 stage matches will be played from Tuesday 27 March until Saturday 21 April. A total of 24 matches will be played in the Super 8 stage.

The top four teams in the "Super 8" will advance to the Semi-Finals. This is the knockout stage, with the #1 team playing the #4 team, and the #2 team playing the #3 team in the tournament. The winners of each game proceed into the Final.

All tournament matches will have one reserve day (the day after the scheduled day of the match) to allow for matches to be completed in the event of bad weather.

Notable events

Murder of Bob Woolmer

Main article: Death of Bob Woolmer
Wikinews has related news:

Pakistan coach Bob Woolmer was found dead on 18 March 2007, one day after his team's defeat to Ireland put them out of the running for the World Cup. Jamaican police performed an autopsy which was deemed inconclusive. [14] The following day police announced that the death was suspicious and ordered a full investigation.[15] Further investigation revealed the cause of death was "manual strangulation."[16] and that the investigation would be handled as a murder investigation.[17]

Although there is no indication that officials intend to suspend or cancel the World Cup, Allan Donald has expressed the opinion that they should; Donald did however also concede that Woolmer would probably not have wanted the competition to cease.[18]

Overview

Hosting

In February 2006, West Indies hosting of the World Cup was questioned by Sir Ronald Sanders, a member of the Innovative Communication Corporation’s board of directors since the company’s inception[19], who expressed concern about the readiness of the West Indies for the tournament and the fiscal strain that hosting such an event may bring. He noted that governments throughout the region were investing heavily in the necessary infrastructure that hosting the games requires, and that many of them are banking on the expected benefits of tourism as a result of the World Cup to boost their economies in 2007 and beyond.[20] West Indian sportsmen have hit back, claiming that the passion for cricket in the region is more than enough to make the tournament a success.[21]

The famous West Indian fast bowler Michael Holding has also criticised the qualification process for the 2007 World Cup. Holding expressed doubts over the benefit to less established teams of turning up and being heavily defeated.[22] However, former Scotland captain George Salmond claims that the opportunity to play one-day cricket against the bigger teams is invaluable for smaller teams such as his own, and questioned the validity of Holding's statements[23]. The majority of the experts and players participating in the tournament backed up the smaller teams taking part in the world cup.[24]

Preparation problems

A number of preparation problems surfaced before the start of the World Cup. Some of the venues were not complete by the opening ceremony on 11 March 2007[25]. At Sabina Park, seats had to be removed at the newly constructed north-stand due to safety concerns [26]. At Trelawny Stadium in Jamaica, ground staff were unable to gain admission to the ground during the warm up matches due to accreditation problems [27]. Additionally, South Africa and Australia both expressed concerns over practice facilities [28].
