The ninth edition of the Cricket World Cup was held in the Caribbean (West Indies) which hosted its first ever biggest Tournament. As many as 16 teams took part in the tournament which included the entry of Bermuda and Ireland. The tournament had a quick death because of the unexpected exit of Asian Giants – India and Pakistan who were ousted in the first round itself! The other stages of the tournament seemed to drag along with quite a few one-sided contests. In the middle of the tournament there was a tragic moment when it was learnt that Pakistan’s Coach and Former English Cricketer Bob Woolmer died in his hotel room which also coincided with Pakistan’s shocking defeat against minnows Ireland!
The 2007 World Cup was in the wrong news because of the Bob Woolmer tragedy. The tournament was won yet again by Australia under Ricky Ponting defeating Sri Lanka in a one-sided rain-affected Final at Bridgetown. Once again the Aussies played a different level of Cricket compared to the other teams and were just unbeatable!
