I was just wondering if anyone knows the exact dates that the World Cup will be held in Barbados. We are thinking of going 2007 but I want to avoid the crowds during that time.

thank you

The Finals will be held at Kensington Oval in Barbados on Saturday, 28 April 2007 (a National Holiday in Barbados). Barbados will also host six Super Eight matches on April 11, 13, 15, 17, 19 and 21, 2007.

They will also have the opportunity to stage four warm-up matches at the Cave Hill Campus of University of the West Indies on March 4, 5, 7 and 8. The official website for this is www.cricketworldcup.com

This will affect housing on the island -- making it scarce. If you want to attend the finals, I would get tickets and accommodations as soon as possible. If you are not a cricket fan, I would not travel to Barbados in April 2007.

I just found out that there will also be "warm up" matches held in Barbados from March 3-9, 2007.
