NZ and Australia should get the nod. We've got the infrastructure. And I don't agree with a certain other member who thinks it's unfair that a nation hosts two events in the same year!!!

They're bloody different! As I said, I couldn't care less if Australia hosted every sporting event including the Superbowl in the same year if we had the infrastructure.

What would be greedy would be if the Windies got it twice in a row, or any other nation did. Australia and New Zealand should get it.

Group A, featuring Australia, plays all it's matches in Australia. Group B, featuring NZ, plays its matches across there....

Edit: I forgot, no more pools...thy're goes that plan.

But tournament organisers, I have to say, are an efficient bunch of collective people...unless your Greek!
