For those who are interested to go, check this resources (courtesy Oracle):

Accomodation: www.tnthotels.com (You can call the hotels directly. They are an hour ahead of us. I will be at Alicias House as one of my murubbi will be there. )

Tickets: Official tickets are the safest route. http://www.cricketworldcup.com/. Next round of ticket sales will commence on February 1.

VISA requirement: Those with a Bangladeshi passport will need a VISA. Here's the link: http://www.caricomimpacs.org/index.p...d=48&Itemid=33
(I suggest you try to get this taken care of ASAP)

UPDATE 01302007 - I sent my application by UPS ground last week (Monday), I recieved my VISA today. That's PRETTTTY fast.

Flight: I am flying from Dulles (IAD). It's going to be between 500-600. I saw cheaper ticket from New York. American Airlines had some good rates.

prolly about 7 or 8 PM for regular matches and 12 or 1 AM for day night matches...all our group matches are regular day games i think

[Tehsin]

Afrina, I'll get to watch BD live after a LONG time. Your location shows Bangladesh. You should be the last one talking about lucky when all the matches shows on live tv and some you can just buy a ticket and watch. Now, that's lucky. ;(

[afrina]
