With a few days left for the biggest cricketing event to kickoff likes of my generation have started picking up cricketers to play for their customized fantasy league. Starting this 19th, World Cup 2011 is going to be one of the biggest money games (only after IPL :)) officially and unofficially.
What makes this a different tournament altogether is the presence of many teams which otherwise you hardly get a chance to watch. May be one can call them 'Beginner Teams', which are going to drag some concentration with their novice cricketing culture.
How many do you think will practice cricket in Ireland watching Sachin Tendulkar or Brian Lara? I strongly believe that at least 7 out of 10 players grow watching their domestic legends. All my support for these guys who create their own brains.
Those teams which haven't traveled long journeys yet will be looking up for a turnaround to improve their current cricketing status (in terms of money & rating). Though there is a discouraging fixture composition for such teams, they ought to perform against odds to win the hearts of the world.
This season I will be looking on to O'Brien brothers of Ireland, C. Obuya & Tikolo of Kenya, John Davisonn of Canada (whom I remember had a big innings against WI in 2003 WC) and some new energy who are going to debut this season.
