Tedious World Cup still too long
Malcolm Conn says in the Australian the World Cup is still too long and remains cluttered with meaningless matches.
The tedious format of the International Cricket Council's showpiece may have been changed and reduced by a week but the schedule released for 2011 in the subcontinent is another damning example of television ruling sport. While the missionary zeal of opening the tournament to lesser nations may have been well-meant in the comfortably paced, almost amateur 1970s, the hectic nature of modern international cricket has made matches against the minnows irrelevant.
Conn also writes about Jane McGrath Day, which will be held during the Sydney Test to raise money for breast cancer care.
