Both Y! and Google have launched multiple initiatives for the world cup:

Google: Orkut community led by Kris Srikkanth [he is blogging on blogspot], launched Google desktop gadgets,site, and as expected, the Google cricket doodle!
Yahoo: has launched Y! India site, a blog, podcast by Sunny Gavaskar, and of course the Cricket qn. [again by Sunny] featured in Y! Answers.
