In a letter to the media the chief organizer of the 2007 ICC Cricket World Cup, Chris Dehring, finally responded publicly to accusations that he and his team bungled their job and misled host countries as to the amount of money that they would be making from the World Cup. The letter gives a synopsis of the host selection process and the information that was relayed to the countries who bid for the opportunity to host matches.
As I said in my last post, all the agreements were signed years ago and for governments to be blaming the Host Venue Agreements (HVAs) now means one of two things; they either didn't read the 298 page "Bid Book" and the HVA (which would mean that they're totally and completely incompetent since they didn't do due diligence), or they read the documents, found them to be completely unsatisfactory and signed them anyway.
I'm not sure which one is worse.
