Official ICC World Cup 2011 Guide available
With the 2011 Cricket World Cup in India, Sri Lanka and Bangladesh mere days away, Safari Publications have launched the region's Official Guide to the ICC Cricket World Cup collectors edition, approved by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
In the past, Safari have published official guides for the 2006 and 2010 FIFA World Cup and they have brought that same experience to the world of cricket.
The guide is a 134-page glossy magazine in full colour, filled with photos from past World Cups, team profiles, interviews and statistics from every country participating in the Cricket World Cup.
The guide opens with a breakdown of each World Cup from 1975 to West Indies 2007, and also includes a statistical outline of the top batting, bowling, fielding and wicket-keeping performances in World Cups.
It details the top West Indies XI in World Cups, and the overall all-time World XI as well.
There is a full tournament schedule and match result tables for fans to write in the overall group results as they happen, as well as progression from the quarter-final stage to the finals.
Each team is neatly profiled with basic player information for each of the 14 World Cup squads, their progression in each of the past World Cups, interviews with major players within the team—including former West Indies captain Chris Gayle—and an overview of each team's chances by current and former international players.
The schedule also includes the warm-up schedule before the tournament and team analyses, along with a look at the venues to be used in the tournament.
So for cricket fans looking to add to their World Cup experience or get into the World Cup spirit, the Official Guide is a colourful and informational read.
The 2011 Cricket World Cup bowls off on Saturday, with co-hosts India and Bangladesh clashing in Dhaka (4.30 a.m. T&T time).
The ICC Cricket World Cup Match Schedule, in conjunction with Safari Publications, will be available as a pullout in the Express on Friday February 18. Make sure to get your copy of the Express.
