For the business-minded, ICC WI Cricket World Cup 2007 also represents an opportunity to provide goods and services, from food and entertainment to transportation and accommodation. However you become involved, remember, each of us is an ambassador for our country and our region and our actions matter.

It is going very well. We were up at midnight and it was very exciting to watch all the different markets waking up.

It is full steam ahead across the region, everyone is moving forward as planned. Of course we have a backup plan in place and it is currently being reviewed by the International Cricket Council. That plan will only be implemented if absolutely necessary.

I have family and friends who will probably want to attend matches so, just like everyone else, I need to put in my application and hope that I am among those persons who are allocated tickets.
