If you're not interested in the World Cup anymore, you might want to post in the non-World Cup forums here at PlanetCricket.masterkhan06 said:

I think its too early to say how good/bad this World is going to be. Imo the strongest teams in the competition are still in it.
Barely half way are we? So you're right it's difficult to judge. But so far the on field Cricket has been very good. My Mum and Dad have been getting into it too, if it's a bad WC it doesn't tend to attract non-Cricket fans does it?

Is Probaly the worse world cup for most people.

As Andrew has already told you, stop posting in the WC threads if all you're going to do is talk rubbish about the tournament.masterkhan06 said:

Interesting perspectives.
I personally lost interest in the WC after Woolmer's murder. In my opinion, it's just a game and I'm ashamed that so many fans are more concerned about their team's exit from the cup than really being worried about the state of the game in general. I'm seriously worried about the implications and the match-fixing angle to it and I'm sad that such a great personality was killed in cold blood in a hotel room.
I also think this WC could have used a better format. I personally would have liked to see more teams play each other in the group stages. Instead of 4 groups with 4 teams each, I'd have preferred 2 groups with 8 teams each. And then pick the four best teams for each group for the super 8s.
Every team would have then got more chances to make it to the top and we'd have had greater variety in the group stage. I think playing just 3 games in the group stages is a bit of a lottery and it was disappointing to see sides bow out before playing other teams in the mix. Also the groups were not exactly equally balanced, but that's more of a subjective opinion.
That way, the format is a bit disappointing for me. Yeah, I know it sounds like sour grapes, but really I'm not as emotionally attached to Indian team fortunes because I know they really played badly and didn't deserve to make it to the super 8s.
However, let's hope the super 8s at least bring a little bit more excitement in terms of intensity of competition.

As I said before,its going to be an easy Eight with the two powerhouses out.
To be fair,the Caribbean is not the ideal place to host a cup.
And why on earth does the ICC host the Wc during the rains ?
I'll be writing an article in the members article forum regd the Caribbean not being the ideal place !
Sticking to the topic,there is absolutety no enjoyment in the Wc,not coz India has been knocked out,but one cannot watch the matches properly too.I'm ruddy disappointed with the ICC's coverage of the cup too. The one in South Africa was by far the best I have seen.
