The World Cup is too long. There, I've said it. The last tournament was obviously bloated and saggy at 53 days, so the ICC listened and came up with a format that's a whole six days shorter but, incredibly, has even more dead rubbers, meaningless games and flab associated with it. It starts in February and doesn't finish until April. Anything could happen in that time, and here are ten impeccably researched possibilities.
10. Equal Juande Ramos's reign as CSKA Moscow manager.
9. Spec out, design and build a grenade launcher.
8. Become the first person to climb El Capitan.
7. Fail to find a mayor for Jersey City.
6. Sail a three-masted barque from Ireland to Canada.
5. Realise you've had a Matisse hanging upside down.
4. Run the entire 3500km of the Appalachian Trail.
3. Film a Clint Eastwood classic.
2. Not deliver the post.
1. Hold at least one-and-a-half properly formatted Cricket World Cups.

My arse they were.
It's a fair cop. 'Quickly looked up on Wikipedia' would be more accurate
