As James once said, it is a wonder sometimes YouTube hasn't been made to shut down.

Why can't the icc do something like this? http://www.youtube.com/cbsncaatourney
This kind of thing would promote cricket and still give profit to the sponsors etc.

Like the RIAA and MPAA, those two organisations missed the boat as well.

It isn't ridiculous, for once I'm behind the ICC on this one.. It's like pirating games, sooner or later it's not worth the gaming companies time to produce the games, because everyone just picks them up for free.. If you host a stream of the world cup in a country that has rights to the TV coverage, it's no different to putting a copy of Windows Vista on a file sharing site..
The ICC's problem lies not in deleting the youtube clips, but for not making the game more accesible as a whole...

Thats right Langeveldt either make it more accesible at a reasonable price or don't be surprised if pirated high quality/fast live streams are the norm come next world cup. Adapt or die.

But we're not on about illegal streams, we're on about clips on YouTube. Clips on YouTube are nothing like pirating games whatsoever, they're more like a demo and they still promote all the usual sponsor crap.
YouTube clips are good for cricket, the ICC isn't.

Would that be why any money it makes is ploughed back into the game?

Well it could end up in their back pockets and being spent on overly luxurious offices in Dubai for all we know.

Maybe if the TV networks came out and gave Youtube their blessing I'd be more in favour of it.. You can get a whole half hour highlights package of a game on Youtube, people buy digital TV so they can see that kind of stuff..

And what if you can't get highlights? I payed for a Ary Digital cricket package and they show no highlights what so ever, they have cut a few games short (end of South Africa/Sri Lanka Game) and Ary Digital is my only option.
ICC's Removal of World Cup 2007 Videos from YouTube
As many of you know youtube have been forced to remove short highlights of matches by the ICC. For many people on our planet this is the only way they can access cricket highlights as there is no TV coverage where live. Please visit www.cricket-petition.com to sign a petition against the removal of World Cup cricket videos from YouTube.

Merged.
Not actually my site, it was the doing of some of the guys who had their clips/accounts removed. I just happen to know the guys who set it up and not only want to help them but help all cricket lovers worldwide. If not for youtube I never would have seen big Dwayne from Bermudas catch.
