Boring tournament! Just give Jay Shah the trophy and end this stupidity. ODI format + a horrible tournament like this where 3 matches have been wiped out. End this nonsense!

Test Cricket is Best Cricket
I honestly don't understand this perspective at all.
Two and a bit weeks of usually great cricket, and every day you can turn the telly on and some of the best players in the world are going at it. Rain is unfortunate, but are we really this mad at the weather? It's a time of year where it rains on c. 10% of days in Pakistan, it is what it is.
If you can't find something to enjoy about the last two weeks, then I'm quite confused

Australia and South Africa both travelling to UAE tonight FFS! All they had to do was schedule Ind v NZ today - tweaking idiots!

That wouldn't be fair on India cause they won't know who they're playing if they win or lose.
Quality of cricket has been good, but the tournament all by itself seems pointless. The original CT/KO was slotted in by the ICC to act as a mini World Cup happening between the World Cups. This was way before the advent of T20.
The introduction of T20, it's associated World Event makes this one a bit damp. 4 events in 4 years, with rigged matches (read:Ind v Pak playing each other in each tournament) doesn't bode well.
Lastly,as you mentioned, Pakistan has been a good host, very little one can do about the weather. More matchess have been disturbed by the weather in events taking place in Sri Lanka.

You never know. SA can still make a close game out of this.
Adding on to their Emirates Airmiles.

I checked the fixtures, and the progression of matches was something like this:
Group A, Group A, Group B, Group B
Group A, Group A, Group B, Group B
Group A, Group B, Group B, Group A (India's last match)
Gee, I wonder why.

There is plenty of reason for me becoming this and my perspective.
- Overkill of cricket
- Overkill of ICC tournament
- Great players participating but boring cricket. Except the England and Australia match when Aussies chased none proved excitement as a fan to even bother tuning in.
- ODI format in general
- In a tournament with 12 matches, 4 being washed out which is 33% of the tournament, once again boring.
- Same old nonsense with India Pakistan
- Same old noise about how India get everything which is true
- Unnecessary complains from former players which is same old.
I'm going to trip the filter here but England-Afghanistan was really tweaking good too
