Play your premier tournaments in premier countries with premier organisation. That's not the West Indies. The tournament is too long, and the West Indians have not been allowed to contribute a West Indian flavour to the Cup. Even the graphics used in the TV broadcasts look like a straight take off from 2003. The final is looking like a joke - and it sums up the whole tournament. I'm sickened. They could have played a video of the Champions Trophy 2006 - saved a lot of money and saved us all the bother. Joke.</p>
<p>They could fly both teams to Docklands and play the final there.
