some pov stuff

[edit]

Speed was personally criticised by many commentators (e.g. [1] ) in respect of severe organisational and other problems at the 2007 Cricket World Cup and it was reported by Cricinfo that a vote of no confidence in him may be sought by ICC members in their meeting in June 2007 [2].

Speed was never personally criticized or at least correctly criticized for organizational problems, as he didn't orgnaize the world cup, the local organizations did. And there isn't going to be a vote of no confidence against him.[1] Wikipedia:Wikipedia is not a crystal ball.--THUGCHILDz 06:20, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Problems attributed to Speed, during the 2007 Cricket World Cup included:

* The tournament was far too long at 46 days.

Organizers did it, while the ICC over looked it.--THUGCHILDz 06:20, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

* The regulations he imposed effectively killed the fun and carnival atmosphere.

POV, and the restrictions were eased up at the start of the super 8.--THUGCHILDz 06:20, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

* Ticket prices far out of reach of locals and consequently half empty stands.

Again, the prices were set by the local organizers. Plus over 500,000 tickets had been sold up to the super 8's last match.--THUGCHILDz 06:20, 6 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
