Menos is actually a Spanish word and it means literally so-so or you can say not well equipped. Why this word has been used there? It has been used just because of some confusion. You must be enjoying the world cup 2011. Are you? Surely your reply will be yes. But when it comes to matches you may be bored because of some matches as the results are almost obvious and predictable. Yes here I want to talk about matches of stronger teams with weak teams. Till now twenty five matches have been played and among these matches five to ten were really enjoyable which were played between equal ranked teams. Other matches were almost concluded before the match started except one in which Ireland succeeded to do an upset and beaten England.
There are fourteen teams in this world cup. Seven teams in each group. If we see Group A we can have two segments one of New Zealand, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia and other constituted of Kenya, Zimbabwe and Canada. How these two segments have been identified? The first segment which is composed of four teams presents top international teams and the other segment is comprised of weaker teams which have not been much exposed to cricket internationally. Same is the case with group B but still it shows little bit tension and good competition after Ireland has done one upset besides a tie between India and England.
ICC is thinking to exclude these menos in next World cup but I think that it may not be a right decision. The best decision which ICC can make is to give more exposure to these teams and make them competitive as others. It will boost their confidence and cricket fans will have more entertainment. It’s solely my opinion, what do you think you can express in your comments. Thanks and enjoy world cup 2011 live cricket on www.criclights .com
