	Thinking beyond the forthcoming cricket World Cup
		Cricket's 2007 World Cup is still far away -- nineteen months and nineteen days to be precise, when Pakistan and the hosts West Indies lock horns at the Sabina Park in Kingston to open the showpiece event, according to the schedule of the World Cup announced very recently.
		The Test defeat the world champions suffered at the hands of minnows Zimbabwe by an innings and 64 runs at Harare (1994-95) was a huge alarm for the authorities concerned besides the players themselves.
		And when the 1996 World Cup was staged, this inconsistency flaw was fully exposed, when Pakistan, after getting a flying start from the Saeed Anwar-Aamer Sohail opening pair in the quarter-final against India at a roaring Bangalore stadium, failed to capitalise, eventually losing the crucial match by 39 runs.

	World Cup Cricket 2007 at Totally Barbados
		Cricket has played a very significant role in the ongoing social and spiritual development of this island and the outstanding success of the many, great Barbadian cricket players has had a profoundly positive effect on the country's psyche.
		It is hardly surprising therefore that when it was officially announced that the ICC Cricket World Cup 2007 would be played in the West Indies and that Barbados had been awarded the honour of hosting the final, the reaction was one of euphoria and an outpouring of national pride.
		By awarding Barbados the rights to host the World Cup Final, the ICC has added further endorsement to the credo that, even though we may be a small island, this country can still offer world class facilities, standards and services.

	ABC Sport - Cricket World Cup 2003 - West Indies
		West Indies, once the undisputed kings of one-day cricket, are pinning their hopes on master batsman Brian Lara as well as his young gun understudies to steer them to their first World Cup triumph since 1979.
		At the last World Cup, the West Indies failed to make the second stage falling victim to the intrigues of net run rate while, in 1996, their decline as a superpower was brought sharply into focus when they were bowled out for just 93 in a humiliating defeat to Kenya.
		But the feeling persists that West Indies cricket is in a state of permanent crisis, a fact illustrated by the embarrassment caused by Runako Morton who was suspended for a year after leaving the ICC Trophy in Sri Lanka last year claiming his grandmother had passed away.
