Stuart Broad feels let down by the Eden Fiasco





Stuart Broad thinks England has lost a golden opportunity of playing before the 100,000 crowd at Eden Gardens.

The BCCI has asked the ICC to reconsider their decision of shifting venue for the England India match on Feb 27th, as Eden Garden under renovation may not be ready by that time.

The ICC is again inspecting on Jan 31.

Meanwhile Pathan thinks that pressure may be India's enemy in the coming WC matches. If India handles the pressure of playing before their own people, then India has a good chance !

Greame Smith, the SA captain, thinks that India has the best chance of winning the Cup. The home team will easily adapt to home conditions and are best placed team before the tournament.

"I think the home teams will be right up there when it comes to the ICC Cricket World Cup. I think in the sub-continent conditions they'll be very crafty knowing how to read conditions while other teams need to find ways to be successful there" averred he.

Even though India is hot favourites, he feels that the 2011 WC will be a closely contested encounter with many teams of more or less equal strength fighting it for supremacy.

"I think there are five or six teams that could win this World Cup which is probably going to make it a very exciting one" he said in an ICC World Radio Show.
