Indian cricket grounds are not ready for the World Cup 2011?

hiii...sami..thanks for the topic.. Though it is a sad news for me(as I stay in WB)...,but the doubt has been cleared and the match of 27th feb between Ind and Eng has been shifted from EDEN GARDENS stadium to Bangalore.. I thing you are right all these people are corrupted.

Hi sami, Corruption is not a new word for Indians. Now the situation is just like, without corruption nothing is possible in India. I think there is nothing to worry about the preparations. Delhi can do wonders sometimes. They will prepare it within ‘no time’. I surprised to saw the new roads within one day at the time of Common Wealth so I have hope for the best this time. Let us wait and watch.

It is shame that in India every event is landing in controversies. First with Hockey World Cup then Common Wealth Games and now Cricket World Cup. Why everywhere laziness and corruption lies in a administrator in India. Lot of time was given to construct the stadiums and arrange facilities. Where ever government hand is there in organizing committee then obviously corruption and slowness comes. These rats know only how to eat the public funds which are for development of stadiums. If ICC has guts to cancel the venue for world cup matches then they should do it if they do not make it by 31st jan. There are lot of venues in India where matches can be conducted, why the privileges are given only to metros like Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore. I am sure that smaller venues will organize the matches of World Cup better than these big venues. It is surprising that now Nagapur is hosting World Cup matches and feeling sad that superb venue in Vizag where all the facilities are available is ignored, here all the international standards are maintained. ICC has to act fast before it becomes a shameful world cup

Pretty Shameful ! Just two days after Mr.Shetty, the tournament director accused the media of creating a hype & assuring that all venues will be ready on time, comes this shocking news that The first match has been relocated. Wankede Stadium is another one behind schedule ! I feel so sorry for the people who have lost money in air ticket booking & hotel booking. Most airlines charge hefty sums for rescheduling flights & Hotels charge anywhere between 10-15% for cancellation on confirmed bookings. Paying cricket fans deserve better treatment. Still no Apology or clarification from BCCI who are still busy hunting Modi. At least that man was an able organizer!

As usual we are late here as well. Nothing to worry they will finish this on time, if not they will make sure to name some official whom they can blame for that. May be they will blame BCCI, Govt of Delhi or if they do not find anyone will blame you and me for any reason. At last they will ask Indian army to come and help them to do some painting work for BCCI and Indian Cricket. Army is doing all this stupid work because of all these corrupt officials and politicians. They have habit of doign everything at the last minutes. I do not know how they live their life . Thank You for sharing.

So Lazy ... why they shaming our country.Where IPL earned money goes we should know it.still we have not all grounds with Hi-fi facility even this is worlds richest board in cricket.we should look at worlds to ground like Melbourne cricket ground,Sydney cricket ground,Ground at Durban in SA while in india there is no such grounds like that.

It is indeed sad if the reports to be believed and Eden garden, the showpiece of Indian cricket, is not fit to host world cup matches then it will be a great shame for Indian cricket and insult to cricket loving fans of India. Despite being the richest and most powerful sports organisation in the world, B.C.C.I. could not meet the deadline. It is unbelievable. It is not lack of expertise, talent or commitment, It is all personal greed that hampers all sports activities in the country. All these corrupt elements ought to be stripped out of all sports in the country. Government and people at large should take the responsibility to ensure that.

I don't know why everyone is talking about corruption. Corruption is when there is some money scam. In this case, the developers have been behind schedule and this is due to improper management. No additional funds are given to complete on time. It is only the Eden Gardens that is behind schedule. Wankhede stadium is complete. I am from Mumbai and I have seen the work. Its done. Dalmiya has assured to complete the work by Feb 5. However, the first ODI has been shifted to Bengaluru. The Government is not involved in this as it was in Commonwealth games. There is no corruption. BCCI takes full control of all the management. The World Cup will be a successful and spectacular event.

Dear Sami00 it is a real pity that these kind of things keep happening in India. What happened during the Common Wealth Games is a big example of the corruption that has become India's Cancer. I know that every country faces corruption problems. But here corruption faces no limits; from the top to the bottom. But the past says that we do some how finish our jobs in time (by some sort of fire fighting). I am not saying that it is the best way. But I still think that this is what is going to happen again this time. We will be ready, but at the last moment. It is getting to be really embarrassing... :P Jaago India Jaago...!!!! Balu
