The 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup was the tenth Cricket World Cup. It was played in India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. It was Bangladesh's first time co-hosting a World Cup. The World Cup was also due to be co-hosted by Pakistan, but in the wake of the 2009 attack on the Sri Lanka national cricket team in Lahore, the International Cricket Council (ICC) decided to remove Pakistan from the hosting countries.[1] The headquarters of the organising committee were originally situated in Lahore, but have now been shifted to Mumbai.[2] Pakistan was supposed to hold 14 matches, including one semi-final.[3] Eight of Pakistan's matches (including the semi-final) were awarded to India, four to Sri Lanka and two to Bangladesh.[4]
All matches in the World Cup were accorded One Day International status, with all matches being played over 50 overs. Fourteen national cricket teams competed in the tournament, including ten full members and four associate members.[5] The World Cup took place between 19 February and 2 April 2011, with the first match played on 19 February 2011 with co-hosts India and Bangladesh facing off at the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka.[6] The opening ceremony was held on 17 February 2011 at Bangabandhu National Stadium, Dhaka, two days before the start of the tournament,[7] with the final on 2 April 2011 between India and Sri Lanka at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai.
India won the tournament defeating Sri Lanka by 6 wickets in the final. India became the first nation to win a World Cup final on home soil.[8] India's Yuvraj Singh was declared the man of the tournament.

Perfect Bridal Shoes
When you're looking for wedding shoes, there's a few things to consider. Most importantly you need to make sure you can make it through the day without wanting to change into your trainers. So set yourself a budget and start the search.
Research
Look to your bridal magazines for inspiration and decide on the type of wedding shoe you want. Consider whether you want open toe shoes, sling backs or a very low heel; the choice is yours.
Complement
Think about the fabric of your wedding dress and look for shoes that match. If you find a plain pair of shoes you could always customise them to blend with your theme. What's more, you don't have to worry about owning a pair of white shoes that you'll never wear again. After the wedding some brides choose to dye their shoes to make them more wearable.
Comfort
Make sure that when you're trying on bridal shoes comfort is your number one priority. Ask yourself whether you will make it through a busy day of walking up the aisle, standing for photos and dancing into the night. Keep this in mind when put on any pair and also thing about what heel height is comfortable for you. If you're uncomfortable with high heels, don't try something new for your big day; choose a pair of shoes that will be kind to your feet instead.
Non Traditional
If you're a non-traditional bride you could choose shoes that wouldn't normally be considered appropriate for a wedding. If your theme is more subtle you could choose a pair of shoes that match the colours in some way. If you are having trouble finding something that matches exactly, then why not buy some ribbon and attach it to the front of very plain shoes

Such dresses could be sleeveless dress for the little ones and dress that would fell just above the knee. As far as materials are concerned, silk, linen or cotton would be the ideal choice for the child. On the other hand if it is winter, satin, velvet or such other warm materials would be just nice for the purpose. It is really not necessary to dress the children in floor long dresses that could be a hazard for them and there could also be dangers of injuries due to tripping and falling accidents.

So the next best thing is to look at ways you can jazz up your kitchen to create a new look without it breaking the budget. Kitchen decorating need not be an expensive exercise.

You could even use a table cloth you already own or buy a cheap fabric or lace one that you can use draped across the top of the curtain rod. You're only limited by your imagination as to what you can "make new" from the existing furnishings and fittings in yo
