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. 1962355116 Best Movie Quotes0 A62224dee1b86a90e1b51a08f5fa13ef 57e03c3824304c6fb9057de600160c97 A5W7Vpxg Maxresdefault F3bb03c8b96d6d31cabad1c3041d0927 36d23a404ca5aee0e259cebe6066fc54 402627 1028b0f1626d434eb95fa750e7461caf~mv2 Meet Joe Black Death How To Live Quote Movie C986c270b685f816f30e72686b3352ce Which 2024 Film Films Are You Excited For V0 V2mbxboztu8b1 ?auto=webp&s=5b7046b6bce7bf937519f957cf763c531d023455 Acd50f76d152cd4c6e9c451a24b4b9f2 C099d 16769375471111 1920 6db5766e39b7c525cafbe000c07d34c3 65 0dbe5ff09427f4acf78bea73a26bfcf6 Ca7829a908c6767d16176a4ddad0d240 19bb54ead2c6018a17728b3286b113ef 7c0fb7b3859bf0dd76fbb1614084043c 2ab74 16634012675005 1920 A8c7e7e9a96ae78be613af91bd046e45 9a124c17a87e98c9a1ffdbffab2228b1 280b7debc1b76798ddd36b5a14942681 5dedbc600ba7b4d25c44bb590ba94865 0f77568e8a2c42b403c7eea4e7cbd45c F0308bdbb92d7a207f861d6385352ecb Good Person Movie A51a6de1f4bea981bb13f6d49473f08a 0217db7dc8d2422ed253560cd6d3cb46 01608d6994717645f0114597d4a273b6 Popular Movies 2024.webp?width=1020&height=720 Ff66cad6dc5282ffe800266d4ed44cc3 New Movies 2024 En 753ae51793fe509bd2044d8852481e83 58530a1584c802906e986c3a864e7817
