It is a privilege to travel around the world covering this sport but Thursday's T20 World Cup 2024 semi-final was about as surreal as it gets.My colleague Sidharth Monga and I decided which semi-finals we would cover in April: Sid would go to Trinidad, I'd head to Guyana. Even then, hotel availability was limited and flights back and forth from Barbados were scarce; even more so once the ICC publicly confirmed that India would play in the second semi-final if they progressed, regardless of their finishing position in the Super Eight.No wonder, then, that when the rest of the touring England press pack attempted to book trips at less than three days' notice - when England's semi-final destination was decided - they had little joy. Mike Atherton juggled TV commentary with his work for the Times, while Alex Davidson and Gareth Copley were there on behalf of Getty Images. But for the UK written press alone, it was just me.It led to a strange few days. The day before the game, I realised I was likely to be the only journalist who would ask Rohit Sharma whether India's predetermined semi-final was an advantage to them, and what he made of the lack of a reserve day with rain in the forecast. Immediately after he shrugged the question off, I put an AirPod in to listen to Matthew Mott's Zoom call with my colleagues in Bridgetown; I hope Rohit didn't notice.Guyana's rich cricketing legacy and its obvious association with West Indies can obscure its unique status as the only major cricketing nation in South America, on account of Britain's colonial rule in the 19th century. It is a rapidly-developing country after the recent discovery of 11 billion barrels of oil off the coast and much of the capital city, Georgetown, is under construction as a result.The semi-final itself was a bizarre spectacle. I spent 12 hours at the Providence Stadium, arriving early to beat the traffic on the advice of my taxi driver, Nigel. He made two predictions while dropping me off: "Cricket will play, and England will take licks." So it proved, despite heavy showers throughout the morning.The crowd was poor for a World Cup semi-final, which was no surprise. Guyana requires Indian visitors to apply for a visa, a lengthy process which disincentivises travel, and England supporters suffered from the same issues as the press pack. Reece Topley's dad, Don, made it, as did a couple of hardcore fans who belted out the national anthem on the grass banks.But the locals largely stayed away, for two obvious reasons. One, they had no dog in the fight: as with the rest of the Caribbean, Guyanese interest in the World Cup fell sharply with West Indies' elimination on Sunday. And two, the game was due to start at 10.30am on a Thursday, local time. It reflects the reality of cricket's economic model and its reliance on Indian broadcast revenue, but it is a hard sell to fans who would have to take a day off work to attend.The result was that only around 7,000 tickets were sold, per an ICC estimate - plus some free ones distributed to sponsors and teams. This, in a stadium which seats 15,000 people and becomes a cricketing carnival during the Caribbean Premier League: it reinforced the fact that World Cups are increasingly products for TV viewers rather than matchgoing fans.As I stood in the mixed zone tent behind the media centre, asking Mott questions for 10 minutes - some my own, others on behalf of colleagues - I could not escape the feeling that this was a strange semi-final of a strange World Cup. There may never be another quite like it. 8cf9c2c5018b700cbe4b3d8502592aa1 B3f83ad0932f69d8c12f13dd264d95fb ?compress=1&resize=1200x900 News Website Landing Page Design Template Vector 23564818 AVvXsEijj1e0h3TwhBJSnojyGd36MbcU6di6FvBniyGO QOpiCDMrzdCmgev 92qI5zU4AoYbq1Q88aaChBWZe7cg APi2cbSvuiVRLRImeWEF8MSCe Zl7mXef 5xv TPM4yCa5ll3 B6UgMebp25k3v1HdQDh7n0n1gXPbKZB8 KKgtN9juRFIRPnrcG9RJRAG=w1600 Maxresdefault News Website Landing Page Design Template Vector 26923636 F7b545def9f07aeb8347dd894f397f49 4e0525419e4df5ad81cc50977ff8d25c ?compress=1&resize=400x300&vertical=top Maxresdefault Maxresdefault Latest Web Design Trends And Standards Webdesignfirm Web Design Trends 2023 1024x763 FireWatch Design Example D22a0adb2a43afa025c97e9a24cb3979 WEB DESIGN INSPIRATION 2023 Web Design Trends 2023 Sketch Web Design Templates 6 Top 10 Web Design Trends 04392d75d69ff2b63a38e45d663d56b2 Maxresdefault 79 300x169 How To Choose Your Web Design Agency Attachment 70322128 E1570533185744 ?auto=format&q=60&fit=max&w=930 Home Post 2 Stunning Web Designing Trends In 2023 0b38c34fe5e07ec216219b693176cc65 6399d9d66211eb0f242e6bb7 (COMPRESSED) 105592 Blog 11 Engaging Web Design Trends For 2023 F5080d6b410014a7d5f6e00be00e9b6a Annual Reports Design Layouts 1672733143web Design Trends 2023 Ea3c2ef25bc13740d33e1987ef3613fd 15 Awesome Websites 257df3ffd4e3bebbd25d8c6d714d46f7 Cc7a23e1fd3863af3685caae0ba6f88a A5f226108487155.5fdb0fab65313 Website Vorlage Namens Archiarch 58314 Original
