World Sport Ramblings

Okay, is it just me or has anyone noticed how badly Bangladesh have slipped in terms of competing in the international stage? A year ago they seemed to have got it right and started challenging the big boys in the game. However, since then they seem to be getting worse with each game they play.

Admittedly New Zealand played some good cricket in the recent series, but Bangladesh were simply hopeless!

Is it time for the ICC to start looking at whether Bangladesh should be playing cricket in the top league? I reckon even Zimbabwe or Kenya would easily beat them in any form of the game..  Whatever happened to the talk about a two-tier system for test cricket? Wouldn’t such a system give teams more motivation to lift up their game?

What you think? Would love to hear your thoughts on this..

Till next time,

We have noticed an interesting trend of visitors to the World Sport Events website looking for information on the Claxton Shield competition (the Australian inter-state baseball tournament). This has surprised me, pleasantly of course, as I didn’t realise that baseball is a popular sport in Australia.

We are interested in hearing from people about their experiences of baseball in Australia, whether it is in playing, coaching, watching, or in any other capacity. World Sport Events would love to be involved in promoting the game even further..

Play safe,

All the discussion about Shaun Tait’s action led me ask “what’s the problem?”.

Daniel Vettori did not say anything about Tait’s action - he chose not to answer the question that a reporter threw at him. The fact that he avoided the question does not mean he had an issue with it. Has the media gone crazy? Are we in the business of mis-representing what people say or in this case, what they don’t say?

I’d love to hear what you think..
