ON GOING BATTY FOR WORLD CUP CRICKET

FAN POWER

Thanks to the generosity of a friend, who was agile enough to secure some tickets, I'm down in the Caribbean this weekend, catching a couple of the matches.

Cricket like football (aka soccer in good old US of A), is a sport that drives most of the world pretty crazy.

So the 2007 Cricket World Cup, being played by 16 countries across half a dozen Caribbean countries from March 13 until April 28nd, is occasion for much of the world to shift it's focus to these balmy isles.

If you're curious about what's going on with all this, check out ICC World Cricket club website for the latest coverage.

In the meantime, do check out this 20 second clip from Reuters (via YouTube) exhibiting how crazy some Indian cricket fans are, going as far to design a special car for the occasion.

The full schedule can be found here.
