CricketNext.COM

Is this the Official World Cup site or is this the WORST World Cup site of them all?

I would really don't want to use the following word here - but I have to - this site is a real proof of the shortcut version of RACISM.

They have a picture-link of 10 captains faces on the top of the site, and Kenyan captain Steve Tikolo is one of them and NOT KHALED MASHUD.

On the other hand, Bangladesh Government has made "Cricketnext.com" as the Official Stamp of Bangladesh.

I agree to this that in India, Kenyan captain Steve Tikolo is a much popular figure than Bangaldeshi captain Khaled Mashud because Kenya has beaten India so many times, that it is only a matter of time that Indians would be more interested in Kenyan cricket, not to mention the Kenyan coach is an Indian as well as there are many Kenyans who have originated from India and still supports India in a cricket match held in Kenya.

But why on earth did Cricketnext.com bought the right to be the "Official" site on internet for the world cup?

Its - the world cup is not all about India, if you must know.

internet partner does not mean offical world cup site. that just means this site is advertizing in the world cup, just like a pizza or shoe company. more than likely the "official" site is still crickinfo.com

Correct Rafiq.

I never liked the CricketNext.com, it's a die hard Indian Cricket Fan page. Not my taste.
