West Indies vs England 1st ODI: Batting side of both sides

Once-up-on a time, West Indies and England was the best cricket plying country in the world. No doubt that that was their golden age in cricket history.  The Test series was totally favored of the host. West Indies went on the as the series leaders by winning the first test. It is very easy to say that the batsmen of both team presented a stable batting except in the second innings of the first test. During the tours England had to face another lowest score in cricket history against West Indies.

 

After 15 years England had to face another lowest score in West Indies, in 1994 they scored jut 46 runs at Sabina Park. The English men scored just 46 runs in an innings and it is the lowest score of the duo. WI scored 47 at Kingston on 11 Mar 2004 and now England is in 3^rd position by scoring 51 runs and it was England’s 2^nd lowest totals in an innings against West Indies. The tour did not show only lowest score but presented some highest total score too. West Indies’ 749 and England 600 was 3^rd and 10^th highest totals in an innings.

 

The five matches test series was full of batting success. More that 17 hundreds came from the both batting sides, when England’s batsmen achieved 9 hundreds as well as 7 from WI side. RR Sarwan was the most successful batsmen who bagged 3 hundreds including one double. Most probably it is the tour in cricket history that presents more centuries. RR Sarwan also named in the most runs in a series by scoring 626 runs and average is 104.33. AJ Strauss from England also bagged 3 hundreds in the series.

Who will host Football World Cup 2018 and 2022?

The next World Cup Football 2010 will be hosted by the African country that organized the inaugural T20 World Cup, Africa and the 2014 will be staged by the South American country Brazil. Now, Fifa is busy to schedule the 2018 and 2022. More that 11 countries have submitted their proposals for the bid. Here are nine individual nations and two proposed for jointly organizers. Australia, England, Indonesia, Japan, Mexico, Qatar, Russia, United States and South Korea, plus joint bids from Belgium-Netherlands and Spain-Portugal submit to contest in the bids. 

World Cup Football is a multi-million dollar occasion. To organize the festival has to spend same. This is not end here; they have to maintain the rule of FIFA. Some of the countries organized the festival before individually or jointly. Only Australia is not in this list as well as the joint bidders Belgium-Netherlands and Spain-Portugal may not in the list too. 

"Australia is part of the fastest growing region in world football and I think that is very important to FIFA. It's very important to us and it's very important to the Asian Football Federation," FFA spokesperson Bonita Mersiades told Sky Sports News. 

This quote favors Australia but there are many negative on its side. If Australia organizes the multi-million dollar festival then most of the Europeans will miss the matches for the time location? The evidences are; by targeting the European fans most of the TV channels or ads investors invest on it. So, will it lose big revenues? 

Australia is one of the most admired tourism countries of the world. Even it has every facility to host these kinds of festivals. The world cup cricket 1992, Summer Olympics 2000 also successfully organized.
