Maybe they don't want to make decisions in haste,and a post match analysis can actually judge better on who offended whom.
Also this surely is a brilliant idea to curb sledging.it surely shall reduce verbal talks and make players concentrate more on their cricket.

I'm not sure whether it was televised here as I didn't even know it was only until afterwards. I was surprised to hear that only the captains were at the opening ceremony.

It doesn't sound like I missed much.

Gina ... You didn't miss a thing with the Melbourne ceremony !!

However reading Cricinfo it would seem the Christchurch ceremony in New Zealand was good.

A cricket ball is a hard, solid ball used to play cricket. A cricket ball consists of cork covered by leather, and manufacture is regulated by cricket law at first class level. The object of the bowler is to throw the ball towards the batsman and out him. Whereas the batsman objective is to hit the ball and score runs. In test cricket the color of the ball is white and in One day cricket its red. It weighs between 155.9 and 163.0 grams. There are different ways of delivering the ball some of it are, fast balling, spin, swing, and slow delivery.

The red color ball is used mostly in One day, T20 matches and in world cups. As we all know the 2015 World Cup has started and everyone is excited to watch it. I came across this Cricket World Cup app which helped me keep up with the world cup happening and updates. Some of its features are.

• [li]Live Comments. User can post live comments during the match.[/li]
  [li]Live score. Live score of all the matches.[/li]
  [li]Rating of teams playing the match. User can rate their favorite team during the match.[/li]
  [li]Venue of World Cup stadiums. Venue of all the places where the matches will be played.[/li]
  

The cricket team players are selected after a very long and detail selection sessions of players. Players from throughout the country and from different clubs are being selected through different trails. Through this process only the best and talented players are filtered out. These players are then added in the national team of that country.
Over the history there have been some great players in cricket. Some of the which are Sachin Tendulkar from India, Imran Khan from Pakistan, Jacque Kallis from Australia, Brian Lara from West Indies and Wasim Akram from Pakistan.

There are other great players too in cricket history. I would like to share this wonder app with you, in which it got detail player profiles of all the teams which are participating in the world cup 2015. This app has some other interesting feature too, some of it are.

• [li]Local time. All the matches timing will be displayed according to your time zone.[/li]
