Modern sport’s money comes in through advertisements, sponsors and the television audience and the stadium audience forms a tiny fraction of the [...]]]></description>

Now:

What is it signifying??
Cannot see India losing.
Cannot hear the audience outburst against the team
Cannot speak in front of media about the causes of defeat.

Despite the Smith injury after which South Africa lost momentum and the brilliant spell from Tait, South Africa shouldn&#8217;t have succumbed the way they did. While Australia had Clarke and Ponting after Hayden was out, South Africa had Kallis - competent batsman but couldn&#8217;t hold onto his wicket and play aggressively at the same time.

		<description><![CDATA[
India&#8217;s world cup debacle is a golden opportunity to correct things in Indian cricket. For too long, Indian cricket has been structurally weak despite having so much money. In a piece in Wisden in 1959 for instance, Vijay Merchant said:
Unstoppable as they (India) are on pitches that suit their style, most of the Indian batsmen [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Allan Donald says that the world cup should be called off. 
The ICC differs in viewpoint. At this moment, as suspects of Bob Woolmer&#8217;s murder aren&#8217;t known, the show going on is okay. However, if some one is arrested who is deeply associated with cricket or associated with betting/match fixing or some thing, it will [...]]]></description>

Update 2: Woolmer was strangled. The world cup and cricket comes under a shadow. 
Update: Cricinfo is reporting breaking news on Woolmer. 
Pervez Mir, the Pakistan Cricket Board spokesman, told AFP: &#8220;The police suspect that Woolmer may have been murdered. They have started an investigation.&#8221;

The two upsets will give hope to the minnows in cricket for many years to come. Hope can lead to formation of goals and goals, when aided with proper plan of action, can lead to great things. So 17th April, 2007, has the potential of having many positive effects.
There is another aspect I am wondering [...]]]></description>

Marlon Samuels is arguably the most talented batsman to emerge out of the West Indies in recent times.

The world cup is just hours away. So what is the blogosphere and internet in general talking?
