World cup cricket 2011?

The ICC originally announce its assessment which countries would host the 2011 World Cup on 30 April 2006. Australia and New Zealand also bid for the competition, and a successful Australasian bid for the 2011 World Cup would have seen a 50-50 split in games, with the final still up for conciliation. The Trans–Tasman bid, Beyond Boundaries, was the only bid for 2011 delivered to ICC headquarters in Dubai ahead of the 1 March cut-off date. Considerable merits of the Australasian bid were the superior venues and transportation and the total maintain of both the New Zealand and Australian governments on tax and customs issues during the contest, according to Cricket Australia chief executive James Sutherland.^[8] The New Zealand government had also given declaration that Zimbabwe would be allowed to contend in the tournament, following political discussions in the country whether their cricket team should be allowed to tour Zimbabwe in 2005. The Australian bid also won the support of former West Indies captain Shivnarine Chanderpaul^[9]
