The countdown for the world cup 2007 has begun. Come March 2007 and the greatest cricketing extravaganza gets underway. What promises to be the greatest event ever in the Caribbean may also see the end of:

1. Cricketing greats like: Lara, Jayasuriya, McGrath, Gilchrist etc.
2. World Cup for: Tendulkar. Shaun Pollock, Ganguly, Dravid, Kumble, Muralitharan, Inzamam etc
3. Some player’s careers who under perform
4. 50 over a side as 20-20 gains popularity
5. ODI batting averages coming down from 40 to 30
6. High scores like 300 plus
7. Low run rates
8. Having actual umpires as technology will take over
9. Duckworth & Lewis rain rule
10. Months long tournaments
