Cricket World Cup 2007 Carnival nears its end!!!

The Cricket World Cup 2007 (CWC) reaches its climax as Sri Lanka take on Australia in the finals. This CWC saw the rise of minnows Bangladesh and Ireland who ended the CWC campaign of India and Pakistan in the early stage. The hosts West Indies couldn't reach the semis and were knocked out in the Super-8s owing to defeats against Australia, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, and South Africa.

This edition of the CWC witnessed some dramatic and unfortunate events, the tragic murder of Bob Woolmer coming as a shock to the cricketing world. Greats like Inzamam-Ul-Haq, Brian Lara have hung up their boots after the World Cup.

India's early exit in the WC must be taken as a stepping stone to success. We have to make amends to make India a powerhouse in World Cricket.
