The ICC venue inspection team has suggested to withdraw all the matches scheduled at Eden Garden Kolkata, as the ground is not ready to host the world cup matches. This is another bad news for cricket fans in Kolkata after the saga of Gangully not picked up by any IPL team.
Eden garden is a very famous cricket ground and the second biggest in the world after Melbourne cricket stadium. The ground has witnessed very important matches which include the world cup finals of 1987. The semi finals of 1999 world cup between India and Sri Lanka which was called off as Srilanka was in a good position and the crowd set fire to the stands.
This news has disappointed the cricket fans in India and has brought bad reputation to the Indian cricket organizers.
When are we supposed to learn lessons? Common wealth was such a shame, stadiums not ready, bridges collapsing, lifts not working. Is this the way a great emerging Economy and the next world power supposed to be presented to the world?
