Cricket is one of the famous game in the world. There are so many countries are playing cricket... But International Cricket Council refers only 15 tho 20 countries. In the ICC list already the indian and south african teams are placed. I am a Cricket lover... I hope the indian and south african teams are very good teams than any other. But these two teams not getting the world cups not more than one time. what's the problems in team.. Why both the teams are not got the last world cup? What do you think about this, mainly for players or coachers or any other reasons?

the main reason for india not winning the Cricket world cup is due to political issues and players ego. it is not coaches who is to be changed it is players attitude

if some people reading the cricket posts. (And are not indian, that means you dont know what cricket is, since no one else really cares, and india is like the main "caretaker" of the sport.) So let me tell you in the following writing: Cricket Cricket is a bat-and-ball sport contested by two teams,usually of eleven players each. A cricket match is played on a grass field, roughly oval in shape, in the center of which is a flat strip of ground 22 yards (20.12 m) long, called a pitch. At each end of the pitch is a construction of three parallel wooden stakes (known as stumps)driven vertically into the ground, with two small crosspieces (known as bails) laid across the top of them. This wooden structure is called a wicket. A player from the fielding team, known as the bowler, hurls a hard, fist-sized,cork-centered, leather-covered ball from the vicinity of one wicket towards the other. The ball usually bounces once before reaching a player from the opposing team, the batsman,whose job it is to defend his wicket from being struck by the ball. In defense of the wicket, the batsman uses a wooden cricket bat to deflect the incoming missile. Meanwhile,the other members of the bowler's s team stand in various positions around the field as fielders, players who retrieve the batted ball and throw it back toward the pitch in an effort to "dismiss" the batsman. The batsman,if he or she does not get out immediately (by having his wicket struck by a bowled ball, by having his batted ball caught in the air, etc.), may then choose to run between the wickets, exchanging ends with a second batsman (the non-striker), who has been waiting near the bowler's wicket. Each exchange of ends successfully completed constitutes a run , and the match is won by the team that scores more runs. SOME HISTORY: Cricket has been an established team sport for hundreds of years. It originated in its modern form in England and is most popular in the present and former members of the Commonwealth. Cricket is the second most popular sport in the world. More than a hundred cricket-playing nations are recognized by the International Cricket Council. In the countries of South Asia, including India,Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka, cricket is the most popular sport. It is also a major sport in England and Wales,Australia, New Zealand, South Africa,Zimbabwe and the English-speaking countries of the Caribbean, which are collectively known in cricketing parlance as the West Indies. There are also well-established amateur club competitions in countries as diverse as the Netherlands, Kenya, Nepal and Argentina, among others. The sport is followed with passion in many different parts of the world.It has even occasionally given rise to diplomatic outrage, the most notorious being the Basil D'Oliveira affair which led to the banning of South Africa from sporting events. Other examples include the Bodyline series played between England and Australia in the early 1930s,and the 1981 underarm bowling incident involving Australia and New Zealand.
