Cricket World Cup starts in West Indies
The cricket world cup has kicked off in the West Indies – 47 days of cricketing excellence to enjoy. If you don’t know much about cricket then the world cup is an ideal place to start, because it is the limited-overs version of cricket, so there will be no draws (though possibly a tie or two) and the whole action will be finished in a few hours. When you’re a real aficionado you can move on to test matches which last five days!
47 days does seem a bit too long for a sports tournament to last. Will the enthusiasm and excitement stay that long?
Teams:

India
Ireland
Kenya

New Zealand
Pakistan
