Interesting Link I want to pass on:

With these changes, the teams will remain in 2 seperate pools, but will now be ranked according to past games over a period of time.

Also there will be 14 teams playing, Kenya and Bangladesh have a definate spot which is an increase of 12 from the Indian and UK World Cup in the past.

[kangas biggest fan]

is it in south africa?

[GoEagles]

Yes it is kangas, and the 2007 World Cup will be in the West Indies.

WHAT NONSENSE !!!!!

Australia is clearly the best team.

Having a world cup simply runs the risk that Australia might lose...what would the previous 2 years worth of matches count for ? NOTHING !!!

Two years worth of matches completely ignored all because ofthe result of one match (upsets happen you know !!).

Here is my proposal:

They should award the world cup to whoever is on top of the rankings at the time the competition starts.

Then have a seperate knock-out competition with the winner being awarded the Mclelland trophy.

I know I am right on this so don't even bother debating with me.

ptw,

Obviously you have thought about this much more than me so I am just going to go along with whatever you say.

After I investigated your proposal I found it is also used by the Brazilian Underwater Basketweaving Federation so it must be right http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/rolleyes.gif http://www.bigfooty.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
